Trump Rallies Getting Old?

Hard to do when they pay people to show up.

I've just gone Googling but have found no evidence that those attending rallies are paid, so could you please share your evidence that this is so and not just sour grapes?

Swampy is going to do at least one of these a week until November. His own personal TV show. I had a kick watching a few of them, and going through them line by line w/the fact checkers, but he's just a rambling fool off the rails at these events and his supporters there don't realize that he is trolling them all. How long can he keep it up?

I can't watch them anymore. He sounds like a senile, old man on a city bus feeding imaginary pigeons.

Why did you watch them in the first place?

I thought that he would discuss policy, that he would provide an uplifting message, that he would form a complete sentence. Please bear in mind that I stopped watching his soap opera in the early months of his term. Call me naïve and foolish, but I seriously, for a short period of time, thought that professional speechwriters would take control and provide some fluency and some eloquence to his unmedicated rants. I was wrong. I gave up. He's a lunatic. It's effective for him, but I find it wholly undignified.

The president of the US is usually a person to whom we listen. I'm fascinated by American politics and history. I remember when my parents would let me stay up late and color each state on my national map as results were reported on election night. GWB was not an artful speaker, to be polite, but I paid attention even to him and his presidency. This man is an unmitigated moron. I can't watch him. I'm sure you've read some transcripts of his spoken word, right? He is an illiterate embarrassment who won't even be able to be quoted in history books.

Usually.

Transcripts of Trump, somehow, often make less sense than listening to him. When he's speaking, you can kinda get the gist of what he's saying, no matter how stupid it is. When you're reading a transcript? Forget it; you might as well try teaching your dog Mandarin.

No offense, but why on earth did you think that?

My dog speaks better Mandarin than he speaks English. Cute boy but only as smart as a smart dog can be. He's still miles ahead of 45.

It's at the end of my post.

I'm pretty sure that most Trump supporters have (like you) watched enough of his rallies on tv to know what they're all about along with pretty much what he's going to say.

Ergo; most of them are there simply in hopes of being a part of US History with the only President to have ever attempted to fight back against the '100 year assault on America by relentless Progressive insurgents'.

How long can he keep it up?

Probably at least until all those enthusiastic Trump Supporters have stopped flocking to his rallies by the thousands...
 
He is actually taking a page out of the Obama play book. Obama continued campaigning for policies even after an election cycle just ended. Its probably one of the reasons why he left the DNC flat broke when the dems went to look for funds during the 2016 cycle! He had remade the DNC, into the ONC. In 2016 it became the HNC, when it became weaponized against Bernie Sanders!

It's funny how the media and the democrats glossed over those facts and buried them so quickly.... They are probably buried in the same hole along with the video of Obama talking to the Russian President, thinking that his microphone was turned off. He said, "tell Vladimir that once I am reelected, I'll be able to do much more for him". That's right beside the reality that millions of Americans werent seeing their doctors because their silver and bronze level Obama care plans' deductibles were too high!

^^It's a DEEP hole........

You seriously believe "He's a lunatic"?!...Like a fox maybe.

My question would've been; 'why on earth would anybody want that'?

Trump is making tremendous headway and his popularity is growing despite the overwhelming obstacles fabricated by the progressive press/media, Democrat Party, and establishment GOP.

For him to change whatever it is he's doing is what would truly be crazy...ie; if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

For me personally, a President that has broken free from the standard dyed in the wool examples of his predecessors is refreshing.

The reason being; Trump refuses to restrict himself to the same old failed status-quo policies and language that have never fixed anything and in most cases have actually made things worse.

A few examples are the economy, trade treaties, immigration, and middle east policies, all in just 17 months.

Before Trump, the United States wasn't standing still, it was in serious decline.

But Trump's greatest accomplishment has been to show the world what we've been doing wrong.

He has given hope, and not just to the American People but to all of Western Civilization.

Nope.

But then, I'm not like a lot of people. I don't consider herd watching to be must-see entertainment.

So; the people who follow the status-quo and refuse to break from the crowd are the true rebels?! Huh; how bout that!

Silly me; I've been thinking those "establishment republican/never Trumpers" were the people with "herd" mentalities?

Thank you so very much for sharing your amazing wisdom with us Mycroft...

You're welcome.

Just keep in mind that there are herds on all sides and you'll be okay.
