Maybe. I think it suggests there are a lot of people drawn to spectacle. Maybe it turns into votes. Maybe it doesn't. |
Has anyone posted the NYT article about his decline yet?

PP here Maybe you're right. I just can't imagine going to see anyone in a crowd when I'm not interested in voting for that person. |
There are actually a lot of really, really dedicated Trump fans who travel to his rallies. I’m sure they’re voting for him, but it doesn’t necessarily mean he’s getting more votes overall or where he needs them. |
They are all wearing maga hats |
The test will be if they write another 100 articles over the next month. |
It’s in the Trump cognitive decline thread too. But it’s relevant for half the threads on this forum. |
+1 But also I’m looking forward to his response to this. 🙂 |
In 2020, 3.38M people voted for Trump. But 3.46M voted for Biden. There are millions of Republicans in PA. But even as of September 2024, there were still 300K more Democrats in PA. So, the presence of a couple of thousand people at a rally in a Republican part of the state, is not really significant. That enthusiasm was there in 2020 when there were far more Trump/MAGA signs all over the state and it still amounted to a loss by 81K votes. And Musk is not popular in Pennsylvania (or anywhere). His negative ratings are far higher than his positive ratings. With the Dobbs decision, Trump's repeated insults against Philadelphia (which boasts 50% of the state's population in the metro area), the Trump/Vance recent insults to Haitians, the stumping around the state of Harris, Walz, Shapiro and Fetterman, J6, all of Trump's court cases, his misogyny, his sexual assault, it is highly unlikely that he has convinced that many more people to vote for him than he has repulsed away from his ticket. Additionally Harris has a lot more minority and women support than even Biden had. That is what Trump is facing. I expect, despite polling suggesting otherwise, that Harris will win PA by more than the 81K that Biden won it by. |
Many of those registered Democrats are old school Democrats that vote Republican in Presidential elections. No way Harris does better than Biden in Pennsylvania. She is a far left California liberal. Biden was seen as a home state moderate “ Scranton Joe.” |
She's not, though - and Trump is melting before our very eyes. Do you think that "old school Democrats" are interested in this deranged clown you people keep foisting on us? It is a close race and it is going to be a close race and that is making me feel crazy. But I think your analysis is absolutely nuts. |
