What do you say about a man and the size of his.....

...crowd?

So Trump's gone on a rally tour this past month. Honestly, I can't think of a single politician actively holding Public Office right now able to match the size of his crowds.

Obama in his day, even after leaving the White House, demonstrated an ability to draw larger crowds than Trump. WE know this reality bothers Trump.

In 2008, an estimated 200,000 came to listen to Obama. In 2017, on a return trip to Berlin, an estimated 70,000 came to listen.

In the United States, history suggests a segment of the Public can adore a morally depraved criminal. Case in point, the notorious bank robber John Dillinger:

5. Dillinger was a nationwide celebrity.
With so many famous robberies and getaways, Dillinger’s face was splashed across newspapers and newsreels as much as some Hollywood stars. An Indianapolis lottery on when he would be captured proved so popular it had to be shut down, and his father was offered a small fortune to do public-speaking engagements. When Dillinger and his gang were arrested in Tucson, Arizona, scores of people filed through the city jailhouse just for the opportunity to lay eyes on the dashing criminal. Businesses even used him as an unsanctioned celebrity endorsement. Upon learning that the car-loving outlaw drove their automobile, one Hudson dealership hung a banner reading, “Dillinger Chooses the 1934 Hudson For His Personal Use.” When the robber later switched to a Ford, the company printed brochures saying, “Will they catch John Dillinger? Not until they get him out of a Ford V8!”

I earnestly hope Trump's current ability to draw a crowd does not bode well for his efforts to win a 2nd term. For those of you who might not know, Dillinger met his end by police gunfire in a movie theater.

DC is in the World Series for the first time in over eighty years. What does a modern MLB stadium hold, 35-45K? Think POTUS will throw out the “first pitch” in any game?

What do I say? Perhaps Obama should run for Chancellor of Germany? I also hear that Obama is rather popular with the Communist Party of Cuba.

My mother remembered the "be on the lookout" radio announcements for John Dillinger. His popularity was driven for a Depression era resentment of the rich. If Dillinger should remind you of anybody, it should remind you of Obama.

Thank you for commenting. The expression "Consider the source" immediately came to mind.

It's absolutely verifiable that Dillinger's popularity was driven by people that resented being in crushing poverty during the Depression. My mother was a teen at the time.

Why wouldn't it bode well for him? It is an indication of having strong base support. Something i dont hear anyone really talking about, and perhaps its because it early days yet, but his crowd sizes and war chest size may very well translate into him having a very formidable ground game in 2020. People on both sides who underestimate the enthusiasm on the other side, do so at thier own peril.

Two points:

1. Trump leads a Crime Syndicate.
2. Boding well, from my POV, would mean Trump winning reelection, something I adamantly oppose.

The rabid base will stand firm.

But they're not enough for him to win.

Do you really think them proselytizing independents with their wild eyed right wing conspiracy theories is gonna keep all those independents he needs on the reservation?

I don't.

For instance, do you think every former soldier who voted for him in 2016 is gonna vote for him now?
