Atlantic Writer Skips Pocahontas Humor to Claim Trump Rallies Are Stale
Newsbusters ^ | July 6, 2018 | P.J. Gladnick

David A. Graham of Atlantic magazine, using the July 5 Trump rally in Montana as a basis for his evidence, is claiming that such rallies have become stale. Actually they have become stale but only if you believe Graham's very selectively edited version of that rally. Of course between his fantasy and the highly entertaining reality there is a yuuuge gap.

As we shall see, Graham on July 6 only very slightly touches on the highlight of the Great Falls, Montana rally and carefully avoids why the attendees were entertained by it and why much of the mainstream media was thrown into an uproar over it. Whether you enjoyed the rally or hated it, one thing that can't be said about last night's rally, or any of his other rallies, is that they are boring as Graham absurdly claims in What Is the Point of a Trump Rally in 2018?

This is what happens when you very carefully edit out the very thing that undermines your case.

Graham is more stale than a rack full of marked-down baked goods...

He does tend to follow a theme but DJT is also very focused and good at following the theme and mocking his political opponents.

At the last one, he didn’t mention the evil media in the back and shame them into panning the crowd.

I usually watch on RSBN and they always show the crowd.

At the Montana rally, he said they were going to start bringing in sound systems and video screens so the overflow crowd can watch. Great idea. RSBN and others should also plant a camera outside and cut to that a few times to see the size and scope of the overflow.

the media have down-played Trump’s rallies or lied about them since the campaign.

The Trump rallies are so bad that Trump will hold about thirty more this election cycle. I only have one question. where are all the Democrat Rallies that were supposed to be led by Barack Hussein Obama, the man that destroyed the Democrat Party during his eight years in office?

Trumpie, you is doing just fine and dandy!!! And...sir, your political rallies are just the right ticket and awesome to boot. Keep it going...Trumpie....the overwhelming majority of the American people & voters are behind you, DJT!!! Go, Trumo, Go, MAGA!!!

Atlantic is like the new york daily news, except that they use bigger words.

Understanding completely, the author misses the point on purpose.

For those attending the rallies, the red meat being served is very fresh kill.

The point is to have rallies in new places with new folks attending

The point is to serve as many of the people as can be served. A onetime service is not to be forgotten

The problem with the Pocahontas story is that it didn't work, and it is not likely to work the second time around.

But, Pocahontas has become a valuable tool for Donald Trump to raise campaign money.

They don’t sound stale on audio or video replay.

Trump rallies are like going to a WWE event. They have a formula. There is clear good verses evil. And the good always prevails. Its like going to a concert where your favorite high school band is playing your favorite songs from 40 years ago. Lots of gratuitous cheering because like minded people enjoy each others company. And at least for a few hours you don’t have to be politically correct.

As performances, Trump's rallies are getting better, in part because he is getting better as a performer, smoother and more subtle, and fully in control of himself and his audience. On Friday, Limbaugh praised Trump's effectiveness as a speaker and was especially taken with Trump asking the crowd to keep secret his intention to ask Elizabeth Warren to take a DNA test. As a rhetorical device, it was humorous and drew in the audience as collaborators.

Oddly, in suggesting that Trump's rallies are becoming stale, this idiot reporter is not just misinforming his readers but is providing false assurance to Trump hating Lefties. He is adding strands to their cocoon of delusion that Trump is failing.

Everything that Trump does is painted in the most terrible light that they can muster. Biased, and deceitful, which is why they cannot hurt Trump. The DNC-Media has cried wolf, one too many times, and removed the bust of MLK one too many times, and now no one believes them. They are shut off in people’s minds.

The DNC-Media have made themselves ineffectual and have a hard time getting people to believe them, even when they report the truth, on rare occasions.

Couldn’t have happened to a nicer bunch of people.

Wow. Trump really is a Master Persuader. He had the lefties giving their own side disinformation that helps him in the mid-terms.

Don’t worry Atlantic readers, all is well.

Indeed sounds like he’s confused with Obama’s speeches one speech for all crowds for 8 years.
