[ABM]

For a guy with such low ratings, he sure does know how to draw a crowd.

Every. Single. Time.

You do know how ratings work, right?

How could I forget...the crowd is getting paid to attend.

Not sure what that has to do with what I was talking about. I was saying that at best a 3rd of the country supports him...and if you only go to areas where you know you are supported, of course your crowds look big.

It works for both sides. It's all a show of smoke and mirrors.

K, got it.

I don’t think Trump won NM in 2016.
Primarily democratic state over the years.

I don't think he will win New Mexico in 2020 either. Good on him for trying though. Surprised he didn't say they need to build a wall around it.

"We're going to build a wall around New Mexico...and New Mexico is going to pay for it."

He didn't win Oregon, but I'm sure there are areas of Oregon that he would sell a lot of tickets in. He'd probably sell a lot of tickets in an event in Portland, but he'd probably be outdrawn by Bernie or Elizabeth in Portland.

It depends on location and size of building.

Kanye West draws big crowds too. Doesn't mean he should be president.

I think he lost there by 8 points.

Well, Trump sure liked him.

Hillary won by 8.2%.

That speaks a lot about Portlanders.

It was really funny looking at voting results for 2016 with my friend in So Cal a couple years back.
Ojai which is in Ventura Count went about 76% for Trump.
It was over whelmed in Ventura county by Oxnard which voted for Clinton by more votes than Oxnard's registered Voters. It sort of fucked up the percentage calculations.

True, and the Dem candidates seem to draw like Nashville wannabes. But, I'm sure once a nominee has been determined, that will all change. I was always impressed by the enormous crowds Obama drew. That said, he was an agent of (about face) change. So is Trump.

By agent of change, you mean pushing us closer to war with Iran, farmers going bankrupt, reducing or eliminating regulations that make the USA a safer and cleaner place to live and on and on. The art of the deal is now called the myth of the deal. Oh, but wait, trump has announced another middle class tax cut. Probably be the same deal we got when he promised a middle class tax cut right before the 2018 elections, which was a nothingburger.

Portlanders? More US citizens voted against trump than for him by about 10 million votes.

huh? his ratings are around 40% and he was in New Mexico where the metro area population is around 1 mil so if there were 20,000 at his rally that's around 2% of the people in that area.

He pulls everywhere he goes. Kinda reminds me of summer/fall of 2016

People also slow to see train wrecks and car accidents.

Garsh, what a cool analogy.

I don’t think New Mexico will flip this election. Trump should be more worried about losing classical republican Texas in 2020. It’s on the verge of a flip, that would be huge.

Warren drew 20,000.

Compared to Trump and most of the Dems, Kanye’s looking not too bad.

Warren drew 20,000.

How's that compare to Captain Bone Spurs? Because a "packed house" means nothing without a definition of what "house" they were in. I.e., if BS packed a 1000 seat banquet hall, vs Warren drawing 20K (in an open air stadium/much higher limit), I'm not so impressed with the "packed" house.

Unless the link ABM provided was masked (and I didn't see it), I had to look for some kind of numbers. Here is something I found.

https://www.krqe.com/news/albuquerque-metro/trump-campaign-hopes-win-new-mexico-in-2020/

which in the article states "Saying he’s fighting for New Mexico, the president believes he can turn New Mexico in 2020. President Trump spoke for about an hour and a half to a capacity crowd at the Santa Ana Star Center in Rio Rancho."

I edited this because I had misread the quote as saying "half capacity", where it said "hour and half TO a capacity crowd".

as you were.

Hmm. Upon further reflection, I'll go with a different rapper.

DAME D.O.L.L.A - 2020

I had a packed house at debate watch party, 8 people & 1 cat.

The Santa Ana Star Center has a 7,000 seat capcity

So 7,000 vs 20,000
