I thought Dallas was now blue

[packman]

But the crowds to see Trump at that rally lined up 2 days early, formed lines two deep for 10 blocks to get into his shitshow. Rather disheartened to see that many morans from, what I thought, was a city in our camp.

Yes, I know I can get a crowd to see a performing monkey spinning on a spike while quoting lines from Mein Kampf , but still....

1. uh, people can come from all over? It's not like it's city-limited?

2. Groupies! They follow him all over.

15. Yep. Like Parallel Universe Deadheads.

They follow Dear Leader around the country, much like Deadheads followed around the Grateful Dead. But, that's the only thing they have in common. It's all hate and anger, instead of the Dead's "Be kind to each other."

3. Dallas and Dallas County are blue.

Deadbeat Donnie gets groupies that go to every rally. Newspaper here talked to one guy from Vegas who was attending his 58th. Also, remember we're an island of blue in a sea of red. The rural areas ares still by and large red. East Texas is real RW and I imagine a lot of those people drove in to see their hero. And yes, some in the Metroplex are his cult followers.

4. Dallas is Blue

The DFW Metropolitan Area is the 4th largest in the United States. It is not hard to find that many of the Trump Volk here. Also, he is extremely popular in East Texas, Gohmert country, which is a short trip.

5. People were flying in too..

I flew through DFW yesterday and saw three groups of 5-8 or so who had flown in for the rally. Dont know where from, but obviously not Dallas .

6. We have our fair share

Of brain dead losers...aka tRump supporters. Some in my own family, of which I no longer claim or speak to.

7. Dallas is very democratic

but he probably pulled in most of the attendees from outlying rural areas.

8. There are 7.5 million people in the DFW metroplex

1% of that total is 75,000

9. The people two days early thing was show business.

All part of American reality.

10. Most of them probably came from surrounding counties and rural areas

11. Thanks for that post - I needed it

Now if we can only get out that blue vote-

I heard a radio guy speak yesterday as to why Trump won in '16

Some Dems swallowed the Hillary crap and didn't vote for her
Dems didn't show up in enough numbers
Corruption at state and local levels
Majority (I think he said over 50%) of voters didn't bother to get off their asses
Hillary votes were siphoned off by other Dems on the ticket

-- I forget the other reasons , but he gave quite a list

If only, if only.... but, the fickle finger of fate has written.

12. The city and county of Dallas have been blue since 2006

I do not think that there are any county wide republicans holding office and all of the judges are Democrats. The suburbs are turning blue that takes time

[Midnight Writer]

13. Illinois is Blue, but you can't find a Democrat in most of the state.

14. Not that part of DFW was bright red until 18, there's still work to be done in Texas suburbs and

... exurbs

[book_worm]

16. Oh good grief, Dallas is a city of 1.345 million and not even counting the suburbs around it

and in Dallas itself Trump got 262.945 votes in 2016 or about 35%. His attendance at the rally was between 18-20,000--he hypes that but it's not all the spectacular.

17. Its a free show for these idiots.
