They think they have a right to commit vote fraud because their lazy-ass handout-dependent constituents won’t drag themselves to the polls on voting day.
Baloney, Paul never attracted crowds the way Trump does, and also you may not have noticed, but his rallies get widespread local and national news coverage. You can’t buy that kind of publicity.
“Giant rallies do not gain supporters”
You might be correct but Trump is having lots of them and why would he be doing that if his staff didn’t think they were working?
I listened to one of his rallies yesterday. Down pat. Very good. Polished.
Could be that the videos of the rallies are viewed by many more people than actually attend.
You know, Trump has worked very hard in this campaign, especially compared to Hillary. That’s one reason I’ll feel real sad if he loses.
Rally attendees are an excellent predictor of the candidate’s ground game. The ground game is 90% volunteers. The paid staff (offices) just organize them. This puts a myth to Hillary’s ground game. It it just a cover for her voter fraud. The dems are reaching a crucial tipping point where the fraud would be so obvious it couldn’t be denied in several states. That is the main reason they are dropping states.
“Giant rallies do not gain suppoters. Advertisement does. Only committed supports come to rallies, not undecideds and not soft supporters of the opponent who might be swayed.”
I agree. The airways in North Carolina are filled with anti-Trump, anti-Burr, and anti-McCrory ads. All of the ads are negative and most are targeted at women and minorities. They are constructed to stir emotions with the objective of not only getting the target to support Hillary as the nice person, but to generate enough anger to make the person go to the polls.
These ads are not only from the Hillary campaign but also from a number of groups.
I saw my first Trump ad last night. I’ve seen a McCrory ad. No Burr ads. It almost seems like the Republicans are not putting up a rebuttal or fight. Don’t they realize the undecided people watching these ads are getting their news from the biased mainstream media and newspapers? If there is no counter message what they are seeing is the only thing they know.
Burr is invisible and his challenger is a virtual unknown? Why isn’t he criss-crossing the state? http://www.politico.com/story/2016/09/richard-burr-carolina-senate-228297
Larry Sabato put North Carolina back in the Hillary column today and showed Burr as extremely vulnerable. He has McCrory losing his seat as governor to the Dem who has been running some very effective law and order ads.
If Trump loses NC, he likely loses the election. If Burr loses in NC, the GOP likely loses the Senate. For a state this critical I see very little media activity from Trump or the Republicans.
The only crowds that matter are in the VOTING BOOTH. And if Trump f**ks up the next debate too, he can kiss the oval office goodbye
What’s a ‘quire’?
LOL!
I wish Trump would hold rallies very near to major media and governmental buildings.
I wouldn’t put it past them to show Hillary way ahead in an attempt to dishearten Trump voters.
My greatest fear in all of this is that Hillaryites aren’t showing up at her events, because they aren’t masochists, and don’t want to subject themselves to her grating voice, her demeanor, but intend to vote for her regardless as they are of progressive perspective.
“My greatest fear in all of this is that Hillaryites aren’t showing up at her events, because they aren’t masochists, and don’t want to subject themselves to her grating voice, her demeanor...”
I think that is their plan.
How the hell could NC be in play for Hillary after the BLM riots in Charlotte?
Nah, I call BS
UH.....hadn’t thought of that. I’ll keep that in mind to ward off my recurring nightmare.
“How the hell could NC be in play for Hillary after the BLM riots in Charlotte?”
NC is 22% black, 9% hispanic and 3% Asian. Its major urban population centers are liberal - Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill, Charlotte, Greensboro, Winston-Salem, Asheville and tend to vote Democrat inside the city limits. There has been significant migration into the state over the past 10 years from liberal northern states. The state went for Obama in 2008 and Romney narrowly won the state in 2012 with 50.4% of the vote.
The infamous “bathroom” law has hurt the Republican Governor. There is a significant amount of out of state money being poured into the Democrat campaigns for President, Senator, and Governor.
If they poll 100% of Dems and Hillary is 10 points up?
We have a trust issue in this country. Nobody of traditional note are trustworthy in these times.
Ugh, that is scary. I knew Obama took it in ‘08. Didn’t remember it was that close in ‘12.
Large minority pop, but I’d still figure post-riots that 70% of whites would go Trump and cancel em out. If the bathroom law has legit hurt the Gov, in a southern state, thats a very sad statement on where we are headed.
“Large minority pop, but I’d still figure post-riots that 70% of whites would go Trump and cancel em out.”
Lots of liberal whites in the state. Northern liberals are moving to our cities droves and bringing their Democrat politics with them. Many from the northeast retire to our coasts which have mild winters and are less expensive than Florida. The transformation of NC is similar to what happened in the western states except our new residents are from cities in the northeast and mid-Atlantic, not California.
In addition the current administration is settling large numbers of foreign refugees in the state and has refused to share information about the resettlement program with the Republican governor.
Yeah, I’m in FL (lil north of Tampa) and I hear a lot of ppl migrating to NC for better/cheaper living conditions.
I work in real estate/rental homes...FL will go blue in coming elections I fear, with so many hispanics from up in NY/NJ moving here, 7-10 to a house along with the usual northeast white lib types retiring here. (I’m originally from NJ but long gone since 11 yrs old thankfully. lol)
The explanation offered by the left is that Mrs. Bill’s backers are so confident in their early decision to support her that they don’t need to go to rallies to reinforce their decisions.
