Of course you don't! why? because if a man or woman is willing to wait hours if not days in a line over 2 miles long to get in to see a man speak dozens of miles if not hundreds of miles away... why who they not then turn out to vote for the same man a few miles away with a max hour wait time if it is not an in and out process?
Quote:2. Precisely my point. The size of a crowd that attends a political rally has absolutely nothing to do with that individual's qualities as a leader. It was stupid of you to compare the size of Trump's crowd to Biden's. Trump is a boob. If he draws ten million people to a rally, he's still a boob. If he draws just two people and a choleric dog, the boobosity remains intact.

1. I should have that example for you in about 16 months.
2. You won't smash it because you can't. If large crowds were indicative of quality, you'd have to say that the Pope, Hitler, and Mussolini were not boobs.
