LOL, the only thing that's "hurr durr bullshit" is your self-inflated ego on a gaming forum. However I digress, please tell me more about how informed you are. I really enjoyed your link to the young fellow on Twitter, whose picture of a Trump media pin before the rally had even started, received a whomping 19 re-tweets! Or the one about the gentleman who declined to sit in the designated media pin & was asked to leave when he tried to take media pictures. Then I loved the one about Trumps "media enemy list" it was really compelling. Then your bullshit quote you posted was referencing how apparently the media isn't "allowed" to leave the pen to get close up shots of altercations in the crowd. They can swivel their cameras to encompass the crowds size any time they pleased. Don't come at me with that delusional bullshit, I'm obviously way too informed for that. Although I am interested to hear your take on why Trumps ralllys consistently garnish larger crowds than hillarys, or is that part of her genius campaign as well ?
Nice try. I don't blame you for giving it a shot.
They're journalists dummy. They have exactly one POV of the crowd and Trump: from the pen they're forced to enter before the event. Those links are a small sampling, like I said this was debunked months ago. I'm actually a little surprised even the dead-enders are hanging onto this fantasy.
I'd be happy to explain why the Trump campaign chooses to stage Trump the way they do vs. Clinton's campaign's way of doing things (it's something everyone should learn), but amusingly you're going to hate the answer because it only underscores how weak of a candidate Trump is. The principal reason for the "big" rally is to keep him away from voters, because his campaign is scared to death of him being in closed confines with them since in that setting the press would demand he allow questions and his campaign is terrified of how he'd try to answer them. They'd rather let Advance find a venue and move Trump in and let him talk in circles and give whatever stream-of-consciousness speech he wants to give on that day than to do all of the bottom-up planning involved with clearing a restaurant or community center. Their way is also easier for them to just to bill the locality for the security costs too, which they've made a habit of doing because they're scumbags.
Clinton's people go the complete opposite direction since they know the value of infrastructure for GOTV. They want the benefits that come from organizing. They want the volunteers/interns, emails, donations, and everything else associated with a scouted venue. Because Trump's rallies bring in so many people that won't actually vote for him and thus are just wasted expense, other campaigns won't waste that money.
