I agree that her numbers drop the more we see of her, but scripted events are pretty safe and keep your campaign in the news. She is a ghost. This is prime time for the election unless she is planning for a burst after labor day, but even then it is still very unusual.

And while it’s true that rally sizes doesn’t necessarily translate to winning, they are more effective than many give credence to. Wonder how much an hour of primetime ads cost on Fox News and CNN? They’re free lately for Trump. Add in local TV and radio coverage along with word of mouth from attendees, and one can make a case rallies are superior to paid TV.
