The ONLY reason you are posting this is because YOUR crowd sizes are so small and jealous.


REMEMBER all the hoopla by the DEMS over Trumps inauguration crowd size photos which turned out the picture was before the parade was even over.
I missed it, I was at Hillary's inauguration.

When the Democrats know fully well that an incumbent President is unbeatable, they run someone like Mondale or Biden.

The Democratic Party stands at a crossroads, they don't know which way to turn, towards Bernie or continue to take the middle road which defeated Hillary. All I know is the middle road will be a sure failure for the Democrats.

Au contraire- The dems put up Clinton, thinking that he would be sacrificed with a certain win for Bush.


Sometimes weird things happen in elections. One would think that an incumbent president, in the absence of an economic downturn which hampered Bush 1 and Carter, would be hard to beat.


we are 1.5 years from an election, so there is a lot of time for things to develop for both candidates. And yes- the democrat primaries are already over and they have selected Biden. The rest of the candidates are there to float trial balloon ideas for the party and see how the nation reacts.

The democrats of today aren't the democrats my father knew.
If your posting on this forum, then your fathers democratic party was far to the left of this one, as I have said in other forums, FDR point blank said the government should guarantee jobs.

He was far more to the left than most Democrats are today.

Compare that to this crowd yesterday.

Thousands Pack Airport Hangar for President Trump Rally in Pennsylvania Monday Night





Biden's campaign kickoff rally in Philly Saturday was tiny compared that that.

Even with Trump's crowd size he still managed to lose the popular vote by 3 Million to Hillary.
The Electoral College won't save him again.

The Electoral College doesn't "save" any candidate. That is how we elect Presidents. STATES elect Presidents, not people. The popular vote has no bearing on the Presidential election, nationally. It only matter within each state.

Biden could win the popular vote by 5 million votes, and would not matter one bit.

Most political rallies are gatherings of activists. These are the volunteers who will ring doorbells. The event is not well publicized because it's not a general audience event. The audience to these events are self selected, there is no advertising for admission tickets or anything like that. These are people who were on board with him before he announced his candidacy. Democrats supporting other primary candidates would not be attending, and would probably not be aware of the details of the event.

Some activists are all in for Biden right away, others are supporting other candidates for the primaries. They generally come together after a nominee is selected.

Trumps Rallies are not like that, it is more like a road show. Trump is the activist and this is how he rings the doorbells. Trump is appealing directly to the voters. Trump's ground team is minimal, and he needs the RNC to help with that.

There is no way to draw any conclusions between the two. The first event for Biden was the equivalent of Trump's escalator ride in 2015 (when most of the people in attendance were actually paid extras).
