There are images of Kamala at rallies where they have to hang huuuuge black curtains to hide all the empty seats. There is no groundswell, energy for her.

I've attended for DJT rallies...all in New Hampshire. However,given that NH has only 4 EVs it seems unlikely he'll be returning this year.

Looks like I'm gonna have to drive to PA to see him this year.

I live in Florida, which Trump will win, so I’m not expecting any rallies here. Darn.

Leftist media propaganda talking heads all said this past week “Huge, huge rallies all over the country for Harris. The enthusiasm is growing and growing.”

Will they “forget” to show Trump crowds?

Oregon isn’t considered a swing state so we would have to drive to Nevada.
Even so, Trump is only behind by 4-5% here this election.

A Trump rally in Illinois would be great. Right at the time of the DNC too.

Rockford would be a good location. He’d get media exposure in southern Wisconsin and eastern Iowa too.

Did he have Israel flags behind him? And did he talk about how great Israel is and how it needs to expand in size? What about the need for MORE immigrants because of AI, whatever that means? Did he give any awards for donating money to his campaign, and then praise the award as being better than the medal of honor because the recipient didn’t have to get shot or killed?

Is he focused on the issues and not her race and name-calling?

There’s no chance he’ll visit Idaho (our summer home).

And there’s no chance he’ll visit California (our winter home).

His Montana rally for Sheehy was a six hour drive from us, so I didn’t go.

Northeast PA is only about a 4 hour drive from me (in light traffic). Philadelphia is maybe 5 hours (in light traffic). Western PA is much more difficult. Oh well,even if I don’t see him this year I can refer back to my memories.

Florida’s a big state but there’s always Georgia...head north on I-95 or I-75.

Yeah, I have to work on the 23rd when he’s in Az, but even then, it’s an 15hr drive from where I am in Oregon. LOL! Wide open spaces out west…

“There are images of Kamala at rallies where they have to hang huuuuge black curtains to hide all the empty seats.”

Last week, Dan Bongino spent a lot of time talking about the dreaded black curtains at political events.

When he was in SS, and a venue started bringing out the black curtains, the turnout was going to be a bomb.
