Donald Trump has long equated crowd size with success ― reportedly even bragging of the size of the mob that attacked the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, in an attempt to block the certification of the election and keep him in power.
GOP strategist Susan Del Percio said Trump’s now falling short by that measure as his rally crowds shrink.
“That’s what you saw there,” she told MSNBC’s Cori Coffin one day after Trump addressed a surprisingly sparse crowd in Selma, North Carolina. “A very shrinking base.”
Local newspaper The News & Observer said Trump spoke to about 1,000-2,000 people ― a far cry from the 15,000 that turned out for him at the same venue in 2016.

I watched the rally. The venue appeared smaller to me so naturally a smaller crowd. I would say more than 2,000. If he comes to Atlanta he’ll get 50,0000.
Trump lost my support with his endorsement of Dr Oz.
But don’t be so damn stupid. Another thing that the media is making a big deal about to control you. Trump makes mistakes but he has to take some risk. He did not do this blindly.
He wins more than he loses. We can’t ask for more than that.
No. Dry and temps in the 50s.
You articulate my sentiments
What’s the political analysis when four people show up at a Biden rally?
These 50-IQ progs look more stupid every week.
I will always support Trump but i don’t have to support everyone he supports. I will vote for Carla or Kathy. Haven’t decided yet.
Yes that was a weird decision on Trumps part. It makes him look not serious.
To early for large crowds midterm months away then they will be bigger than ever.
“Trump will get my vote mostly because he is the only candidate that I trust to actually oppose the globalists and has any hope of winning.”
Same here.
I have often wondered the same thing.
“Trump lost my support with his endorsement of Dr Oz.”
C’mon man, I don’t believe you. I doubt Trump ever had your support if you would dump him over this one endorsement.
” if Trump continues to back up Kevin McCarthy ...”
Trump is USING McCarthy for now. We will have to see once Republicans take back the House.
Could be smaller crowds because we are still 2 1/2 years from Trump’s re election? Typically, fewer people bother to vote in mid term elections.
Partisan Media Shill, Concern Troll, and Stooge alert.
Yep, continuing to endorse Bush League Republicans after everything they did to hobble his term and assist with the Big Steal is dampening my enthusiasm.
You can’t square MAGA with amnesty and yet he endorsed Micro Rubio.
No, it is not over one endorsement....it is over multiple bad endorsements and bad staff choices.
Enough is enough. Don't forget, Trump endorsed Romney.
But the US Senator from Pennsylvania is near to my heart because I live here. I want a constitutional US Senator, not just the most popular pick.
People like Mark Levin were for the ineligible Cubanadian.
33 for 33 in Texas any questions? - Didn’t think so.
What have we learned about electing senior citizens in these roles, he is to old for this position. I get it you liked Trump and some of his policies, but vote for younger candidates with similar leanings. He had his chance, he nominated a couple of good judges, but little else lasted because he could not get laws repealed or new ones into place. He is unable to build bridges between people of different beliefs so he will always be a failure at leading in offices that are political in nature.
Why do you think Trump will surround himself with better people next time? He could not beat slow joe who rarely came out of his basement. He didn’t stop the Covid money transfers, and didn’t try to stop the closures and lockdowns (two weeks to slow the spread). Has he admitted to handling all that very poorly? Is he even capable of seeing fault in himself and doing things differently? Why do you think a second go round would be better?
Doodledawg is our resident concern troll. As a result, posting crap like this from the Huff Post is not a surprise in the least.
