I hate to say but I think Trump crowds have been shrinking. I first noticed last week they said some couldn’t get in yet the top tier was not full. Now this week the venue’s seem smaller and there are no attendees behind Trump. Hope this isn’t true.
It was a small venue event.
The crowd sounded less enthusiastic and a bit scripted. It also reminded me of the Rocky horror picture show with cued audience participation.
I thought he might get accused of renting an audience, but that’s impossible, you could never keep it secret and it would be a career ender if caught. (for GOP).
Tangent to this: People watching on line has sky rocketed, RSBN is pulling 30,000 per rally, maybe folks are watching online rather than going....
Not sure how he is doing in Wiscosin but don’t think he has much support in Green Bay.
The upper tiers being empty is because the attendees are filling the floor, not the seats. Maybe not in Green Bay, but otherwise i believe all the venues have been filled to capacity, with some people turned away.
Last week’s rally in Cleveland, the top tiers were not filled for security reasons. Plus they had many people on floor that normally wouldn’t be there for a typical sporting event so capacity was still reached. I think this goes on in other events. The rally I went to, they prevented us from sitting on bleachers, we all had to stand on gymnasium floor. There were thousands outside who couldn’t get in.
I’m not noticing a drop off in crowds but see that some of the venues have been smaller. Could be the larger venues are booked as we are in hockey, basketball season, etc. During summer a lot of those larger arenas and stadiums are more available. Or there could be real security concerns. As we get closer to Election Day, desperation is setting in with some of the whack jobs who want to stop Trump at all costs.
His son had over 1,000 supporters attend his event yesterday!!

LONG lines being reported in GA early voting some arriving at 6:30 am polls open at 8 so 4 hr wait lines. I will be able to vote early tomorrow as it is TN first day.
At the event last week, the floor space was packed and the lower tier was too. The upper tier was closed off by the fire Marshall. So that’s not a good anecdotal example.
A month ago, I was at Trump rally in blue state of Washington, and the rally broke all time attendance record of the Arena capacity of 10,000 seats. A large crowd was standing near the podium for closer look, so many seats were empty. We left 15 minutes early, yet there were still people waiting in line to get inside the building.
