@Right_in_Virginia Actually, dear, even a stock response from you would be a grand improvement, lol.
I like it when you call me dear. It speaks of your affection for me. I think we should be best friends!
Here's the difference: Romney had huge crowds in the final weeks of the campaign. Donald Trump has had huge crowds for 15 consecutive months....and now they're growing larger.
And it's great news!!
Is it really?

and
"However, general-election campaigns require major-party candidates to expand their reach, not just keep attracting the same voters over and over again. That isn’t measured by crowd sizes, but (until Election Day at least) by polling"

and
"Yet every election, candidates and aides, seeking silver linings when beset by bad polls, indulge the wishful thought that bulging rallies will mean a stampede at the ballot box."

People, though, should stick to reality..."
