Biden won an election with that size of crowd (or even smaller ones). I'm not impressed by the crowds overall lately for Trump or Vance and the Harris/Walz show has the momentum for the moment. The honeymoon will last for as long as the willing media allows it and also as long as the base is excited by the candidates. If the media never feels that VP Harris should sit for interviews and/or answer questions at a presser, then the honeymoon might last until the election. I have a feeling Walz will fare better than VP Harris in any interview or presser. I do like that Vance is answering press questions at some of the stops he is making. The Democrat ticket is far too liberal for me. Loser? Maybe, but he has not lost yet. Elections take unexpected turns all the time. |

Yeah, can’t imagine why Dems didn’t want to gather in large groups in 2020. Maybe they could ask Herman Cain. Now, in the year 2024, Kamala is getting Obama sized crowds. Donny is campaigning once a week in between golf outings and naps. “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

It doesn't matter "why" they didn't want to do it. They still got the job done and won the election. They proved that having large gatherings of the "base" is not all that important because it is the swing voters who make the difference. Those people likely won't go to campaign events but they will decide the election.
I doubt the size of her crowds will touch those Obama drew. Those were legendary. He had a message. He was to the right of her. He did not have a record to defend but he is a great speaker. She has a record and she is not a great speaker.
I don't disagree that his schedule is not strong right now. Overall, I still believe that it is his election to lose more than it is VP Harris' to win. He is his own worst enemy. |

Uhh, you sure about that? Have you seen the crowd at her rally RIGHT NOW in rural Wisconsin? She’s flying to Detroit this evening and they couldn’t find a venue big enough for all the RSVPs so they had to move to a hangar at the airport. I keep saying we are in 2008 territory. But I guess Donny’s one good election night 8 years ago keeps giving the righties hope, even though he hasn’t had a good one since. “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

Yes, I have seen the crowds the past couple of days. I expect them to be large since she just brought her ticket together. I just don't see her doing Obama numbers in the long run. Filling a hanger is not drawing 90,000-100,000. I also expect Vance's crowds to be smaller. He's getting some attention and answering questions. I think that is his job right now. |

Obama was not drawing 90-100k to every speech. At the very least we can say she’s doing 2016 Donny numbers. “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

I never said that. She's not Obama. Not even close. She will draw good numbers for a while but not as well as Obama. I disagreed with him, but he did great speeches. They were worth the listen.
Right now, she is. |

At least he practices safe sex. “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |
