I Went to a Trump Rally Expecting Violence, What I Found Was Quiet Desperation

A palpable sadness consumed the Newtown, Pennsylvania recreation center Friday night as Donald Trump took to the stage for his final rally of the day. But what was even more shocking than the somber mood of the room was how much the audience size paled in comparison to the majority of the nominee's prior events.

A mere 25 miles outside of Philadelphia, Trump could barely fill a gymnasium.

The audience demographics, however, mirrored that of the town [3]. The rally was nearly 100% white, with the majority of women in attendance over 40.

"We're going to be bringing jobs back to Pennsylvania, folks," Trump announced along with a myriad of other classic campaign promises.

His attack on the media, particularly CNN, seemed to rile up the crowd the most.

"CNN sucks," they chanted at the press pen while the overflow crowd outside was scanned by members of the heavily armed Bucks County police department.

But if there's one conspiracy mainstream media can be faulted with perpetuating, it's that Trump supporters are "working-class" rebels. Because with a media household income of $65,000, Newtown residents hardly represent Trump's mythically impoverished base [4].

In two weeks, Donald Trump will most likely lose the election. But it's unclear if his supporters will accept its result, much less who they will rally behind next.

Wikileaks proved conclusively that CNN works directly for the Clinton campaign.

i was just offering everyone a channel that covers 100% of trump rallies so you can see the size of the crowd yourself. Most of it is live footage too so they cant really sue editing tricks.

They are big -and the part about violence was done by Democratic operatives as we just learned

Trump was a lousy vessel for populism - but give him credit for the message.
the best thing that can happen now is the split of the Republicans, since the Republican base voters do not want the establishment.

The Democrats are hopeless tools of the rich and powerful, and until they lose they aren't going to split -
but we do see splits between the Clinton and sanders camp along the same lines.

Even the DNC is corrupt,bt it's going to take the sanders peeps to grow nauseous of the Clintonistas

Always trying to prop up the narrative that the right is violent lol.

There's been a consistent enthusiasm advantage for Trump and the left knows it. Hence, the OP. They won't admit it, but it's a little worrisome going into the election in a couple of weeks.

Recall that Trump consistently out preformed the polls in the primary.

well i wouldn't put toomuch stock in that -Trump is anathema to traditional campaigning in that the media can point to his word salad, and stubborness..
It lets them ignore the message, which we saw in the debate he actually did win/counter Clinton's Big Gov't effectively

The big question for me is what happens next. can we finally start to unravel this plutocratic nightmare called the 2 party system?
