i guess you prefer media-fudged data rather than believe your own eyes.
november 8 is going to hurt your media-dulled brain.  |
I don't believe there is a causal relationship between how many people show up at rallies, and how the election turns out. I think its a matter of fundamentals, for whatever reason, that Republican rallies draw big audiences, and Democrat rallies do not. For example , as a whole Republicans can have a lot more enthusiasm for showing up to rallies, but that does not mean there are more people voting Republican than Democrat. It just means more people show up at rallies. The election is not decided by which party can get more people to show up to rallies. The election is decided by who can get more people to vote for them on election day, and there is a large swath of people that vote, that will never go to a rally. I believe during Obama vs Romney I was hearing the same. Romney rallies were huge, Obama's were half full. And he won by a landslide in the electoral college.
How much have you personally bet on the election? You can get some great odds if you believe so strongly about it.
FYI, I am no Hillary fan. I am just giving you the facts of life.
