Giant rallies do not gain suppoters. Advertisement does. Only committed supports come to rallies, not undecideds and not soft supporters of the opponent who might be swayed.
If enthusiasm of supporters is all that mattered, Ron Paul would be finishing up his second term. We need more commercials on the air. Now.
“If enthusiasm of supporters is all that mattered, Ron Paul would be finishing up his second term. “
Yeah because these two things are totally the same.
I’m sure Jeb and Cruz also thought it was a goofy indicator too.
Right! Why republicans cannot understand that just preaching to the quire will not add votes. Only reaching with ads will get to the uninformed. Trump for President.
In other words do what Hillary is doing?...Ron Paul Never had crowds like Trump!
Baloney, Paul never attracted crowds the way Trump does, and also you may not have noticed, but his rallies get widespread local and national news coverage. You can’t buy that kind of publicity.
“Giant rallies do not gain supporters”
You might be correct but Trump is having lots of them and why would he be doing that if his staff didn’t think they were working?
I listened to one of his rallies yesterday. Down pat. Very good. Polished.
Could be that the videos of the rallies are viewed by many more people than actually attend.
You know, Trump has worked very hard in this campaign, especially compared to Hillary. That’s one reason I’ll feel real sad if he loses.

I agree. The airways in North Carolina are filled with anti-Trump, anti-Burr, and anti-McCrory ads. All of the ads are negative and most are targeted at women and minorities. They are constructed to stir emotions with the objective of not only getting the target to support Hillary as the nice person, but to generate enough anger to make the person go to the polls.
These ads are not only from the Hillary campaign but also from a number of groups.
I saw my first Trump ad last night. I’ve seen a McCrory ad. No Burr ads. It almost seems like the Republicans are not putting up a rebuttal or fight. Don’t they realize the undecided people watching these ads are getting their news from the biased mainstream media and newspapers? If there is no counter message what they are seeing is the only thing they know.
Burr is invisible and his challenger is a virtual unknown? Why isn’t he criss-crossing the state? http://www.politico.com/story/2016/09/richard-burr-carolina-senate-228297
Larry Sabato put North Carolina back in the Hillary column today and showed Burr as extremely vulnerable. He has McCrory losing his seat as governor to the Dem who has been running some very effective law and order ads.
If Trump loses NC, he likely loses the election. If Burr loses in NC, the GOP likely loses the Senate. For a state this critical I see very little media activity from Trump or the Republicans.
