President Donald Trump’s rally on Wednesday night in Fort Myers for Ron DeSantis and Rick Scott packed the Hertz Arena to the brim whereas Bernie Sanders and Andrew Gillum struggled to fill half the floor of the CFE Arena during their competing rally held earlier in the day.

The Hertz Arena has a capacity of 8,284:

This is reminiscent of the 2016 campaigns where Trump would pack ‘em in and the opposition could barely have enough for a staged photo op. I hope the election results are the same.

It’s not a Red Tsunami

It’s the Red Tide.

Gentle. Inexorable. Lifting all boats.

This is all nice and good, though I remember just before the 2012 election Romney was drawing huge crowds, while Obummer was attracting in the hundreds and the Halfrican still won.

Just sayin. So everyone, get out and VOTE.

JOBS NOT MOBS!!

Modern Democrat rallies consist of the MSM reporting what to think, and throngs of minions staring at their view-screens to ingest their programming. So when a traditional political rally occurs, it’s considered quaint and redundant.

If 8300 Democrat voters showed up somewhere, there would be a lot of violence.

PROJECT VERITAS CAUGHT THIS LITTLE BLACK BASTARD ON TAPE.

Omar Smith, a Gillum staffer, on PROJECT VERITAS tape stated the Gillum campaign has “to appeal to white guilt.”
Smith indicated on tape that Gillum is a bald-faced liar. "If Gillum is elected “None of the programs Gillum is promising would happen.”

<><> “Raise the corporate tax in Florida from 7 to 11 percent. That will never happen.

<><> Raise teacher’s pay to $50,000, that will never happen.

<><> Medicare for all will never happen."

=======================================

But a high paid govt job for Omar WILL happen

I have a distinct memory of going to a rally for the elder Bush he had Colin Powel with him and other notables at the time. Huge, swarming, excited outdoor crowd. Still lost the state and the election. Just vote.

Don’t you think that the 2012 election was stolen? Yep, it probably was.

The ‘rats from here on out should always nominate blacks. Blacks seem to be difficult to motivate to the polls. The fact that so many will “vote for the brutha” is what is making the Florida race close.

The media and the Democrats are pulling out all the stops to convince Republicans to stay home - all is lost - Nancy Pelosi will be the Speaker. Republicans can’t keep the House!

Must admit, it is working a little on me; felt so confident after Kavanaugh; feels like it is slipping away.

But - mailed my Absentee Voter form back today (out of town Tuesday); and hoping that we all respond to this feeling the same way - by voting!

Trying to think positive by imagining the joy we will all share on Wednesday morning when we keep the House! Won’t be as much of a thrill as it was November 9th, 2016; but seriously beats the alternative!

Better yet, call someone - tell them to Vote!

(If you are reading this - you’re a Freeper, I already know you are voting!)

Some of the largest crowds I recall seeing were at Walter Mondale rallies late in the ‘84 campaign.

Wasn’t the Hillary campaign spreading around a photo of a rally crowd that was photoshopped to look like there were a lot more people?

How nice it would be to see the MSM wave a white flag of surrender after the midterms!

Watching Miami tv coverage of the campaign unintentionally hilarious.

The local stations, in an effort help avoid Democrat embarrassment, rarely show wide shots of Gillum’s “crowds”.
