RUSH: Okay. I think, as I pretty much always do, I have this right. The number of people that go to Disney World in Orlando on a daily basis averages out to 53,000 people. Some days it’s more, some days it’s less. That’s the average. There are more people than that lined up to get into the Trump reelection announcement rally tonight.
There are more people trying to get into the Trump rally tonight than show up on average at Disney World. They’re lined up outside. It’s the Amway Center where the Trump campaign and President Trump will announce his reelection bid tonight.
In contrast, I want to show you a picture here on the Dittocam. Go ahead and switch it over there. This is a long range photo. You may not be able to tell who that is. But I’m gonna tell you. That is California Democrat presidential hopeful Eric Swalwell. Eighteen people showed up at an anti-Trump rally yesterday outside the NRA headquarters. That is in Fairfax, Virginia.
There is more media there than there are Swalwell supporters, and every one of those people — if you’re watching here on the Dittocam, and we’ll have this photo up at RushLimbaugh.com in mere moments. Every one of those people has a prefab sign. They showed up at Swalwell headquarters to pick up their sign, they probably got on a little yellow bus and they’re bused out here to a location nearby the NRA headquarters.
You can’t see it in this photo, but don’t doubt me. That is Eric Swalwell, who has been made a cable TV star by CNN, MSNBC, and even Fox News. He appears on Fox News because he’s apparently a mild-mannered but very classical socialist, communist liberal who serves their purposes well.
You contrast that. And look at the polling data. The polling data: Trump doesn’t have a prayer, Trump doesn’t have a chance, Biden is gonna clean his clock. Crazy Bernie might clean his clock and so forth. Scott Rasmussen with a very, very timely reminder of how rapidly things can change. And, folks, never forget the old adage that I have for you about polling. And, by the way, a story in the Stack today about how polling is used not only to shape public opinion, but to make it artificial.
Oh, it’s a great story confirming every instinct I’ve had about polling data. But the problem with a poll right now on anything that’s 500 days in the future is there’s no way that anybody knows what’s gonna happen between now and then. It is probably safe to say that the issue or issues that will define the election in 2020 have not really happened yet.
Now, you say, “Rush, that’s crazy. We’re gonna have the entire Trump first term and the thing about Trump-Russia collusion, the Mueller report.” Yeah, granted. But like we had a caller yesterday point out that elections are very simple, really. They have one or two issues people decide on, and this election he thought might be socialism versus capitalism.
But the specific events — remember, on the Friday before the election in 2000, the Algore campaign dropped this story that George W. Bush had covered up a DUI. Remember that? And that shook up everything. Everything that had happened prior to that was rendered meaningless. And that’s why that election ended up being close. So a poll today is literally meaningless. And Scott Rasmussen puts an exclamation point behind that with this stat.
Four years ago this month — June 2015 — after Donald Trump came down the escalator and announced his candidacy for president, he was at 1% in the Republican primary polls and 66% of Republican voters said they could never support him, just a couple days after Trump comes down the escalator. But it didn’t take long for those polls to change, and they changed dramatically and drastically.
The key is that this 1% poll in the Republican primary, 66% of Republican voters said they could never support him was before the debates began. And when the debates began is when the real shift began. But Trump was trending upward even before we got to the debates. But the debates happened rather soon, and Democrat debates start this month. And anything can happen there.
So you just don’t know. And I’d be very wary and suspicious of any polling data now, especially if it tends to make you mad. Don’t give it that much attention. Don’t give it that much power. I mean, just laugh at them and use them for entertainment value.
This looks like a Disney world exhibit!
How about a trip to LA? Here’s a great video to share viral. Send it to any and all RATs you know.

I just don’t understand the attraction people have toward a politician who telegraphs his moves to his enemies before he makes them. And refuses to use the powers invested in his office by the U.S. Constitution. And has as his closest advisors a daughter and son-in-law who are elitist Manhattan liberals.

Id be tempted to walk up and say I am a conservative would you help be register too?

that’s because you’re trolling the wrong board ... try out the above on therightscoop . com ... they’ll just LOVE you there!
It’s called charm and brilliance. Something you obviously will never have.
The attraction you ask? Well he is the FIRST damn politician who has tried to actually do what he promised. He may have not hired the best because he was directed to hire those who could be controlled, however, I have ZERO doubt the man loves this country and truly wanted the best for her and didn’t need the job and to be honest that is more than anyone else who entered that office...with maybe an exception of Reagan. And IF we would have had Republican Senators and Congressman who did NOT CATER to power and money and who truly supported this President and listened to the voters , I believe this country would be in awesome shape.
This is so cool!

I think of the comparison as more illustrative of relative crowd size.
Obviously Disney draws crowds like that on a continuous basis. The most ardent Trump supporter (myself included) will admit that The Donald couldn’t do that every day in a similar fashion. Although he can to some degree, just not from the same location every day.
But the point of the size of his crowds is well taken. And don’t think for a moment that the Dems aren’t getting tight sphincters watching this.
Well he's smarter than a schlep that claims to be a long distance bike rider, and then provides the statistic that he lives in the state that has the highest bicycle death rates in the Country.
Good luck on your next long distance death wish ride.
Disney world is dead to us...overpriced and garbage...Walt would hate what his ‘Happiest Place On Earth’ became...
What incredible nastiness. I didn’t attack you. I didn’t attack anyone. I just voiced an opinion on the facts. And then there’s you wishing I would die on a bicycle ride because I did that. Wow. Just incomprehensible.
