Trump’s ‘enthusiasm factor’ is another surprise win on Election Day
Public displays of exuberant affection for Trump have been building, but they reached a fervent new pitch when the president came down with COVID-19.
<><> Some 2,000 watercraft sailed for NJ’s Trump Law and Order Boat Parade, as the same scene was playing out in dozens of harbors, rivers and lakes from the Jersey Shore to San Diego that Labor Day weekend.
<><> One week later, on Sept. 12, more than 16,000 cars, pickups, motorcycles and semis festooned with banners and bunting jammed Cincinnati’s I-275 beltway in a convoy that looped through three states, one of several Trump car caravans being organized on Facebook.
<><> An unknown fan in Norwell, Mass, stenciled “Trump 2020” in bright yellow letters across the travel lanes of busy Route 3 (Highway crews quickly painted over the message.)
I can imagine Election Day...lots of smiling, excited people in lines, next to angry looking women and beta boys...
