Politico: “Trump views rallies in battleground states as the linchpin of his closing argument, a means to excite his supporters and ensure they vote on Nov. 3. But many Republicans close to the White House, former senior administration officials and political advisers say the rallies are largely a way to keep the unscripted and undisciplined president occupied, since they do little to persuade new Trump voters.
Rallies, they note, do not woo senior citizens, independents or suburban women, many of whom have moved away from the Trump ticket this election cycle. Most of Trump’s rallies are no longer televised nationally as they once were.”
“And with coronavirus infection rates climbing, the Trump rallies often draw negative headlines in local news markets because the packed events defy public health guidelines, featuring few masks and almost no social distancing.”
7. Whether they are "working" depends on what they are meant to accomplish
If they are meant to rally a hard core group of potentially violent zombies to react when he claims victory despite all evidence to the contrary...
Then they might be working just fine.
People don't just wake up believing all that shit. It has to be drummed into them over and over again.
