I remember seeing one of his earlier rallies think in Pennsylvania and every single person behind was male with hard hats.
Trump wants to give this guy carte blanche over anything health related in the US.
Jesus. The guy who said he had a dead worm in his brain? You couldn't dream this stuff up!
This was obvious clear as day.
Michael is right. I suspect this is going to be a very one sided election. The polls haven't made sense for weeks. Simple observations could tell the most casual observer this. Crowds for Trump and Vance at their rallies are incredibly low, where as Harris is filling stadiums. If you compare this to 4 and 8 years ago, Trump was filling stadiums. So are we genuinely expected to believe that his crowds have dropped off so much yet his vote has skyrocketed to compete beat the levels of the democrat vote?
They would be all republican workers made to do it too.

Rallies don't really look like fun to me... particularly if there are a chance of bullets flying...
At least this is the final day of election campaigning & soon we get to deal with aftermath. I see the officials are taking no chances this time with any potential protesters enforcing all areas... particularly Trump has ramped up his rhetoric that the election is rigged if he doesn't win.
There are sore losers & then there is Trump...

Who'd actually go to a rally for anyone? Can't imagine anything more boring than listening to a politician speak

Just barely within my guess of Dem and Rep returns needing to be within 6,000 to have a snowballs chance.
No matter how bad it may get tomorrow night for me—I am glad I ran
Zero regrets…and was interesting experience.
I plan on wearing some Crows gear tomorrow

Talking about crowd engagement - not even considering Harris crowds smashing Trumps - the the stark difference in engagement is just so blatant. Harris rallies people are excited, joyous, positive and LOUD. Trumps the complete opposite. A snorefest with his incoherent ramblings. Even the strategic crowd behind Trump are often bored shitless - playing on their phone, talking to each other, appearing brain dead whilst looking at themselves on screen and often leaving as they are so bored.
Such a massive contrast this election in so many ways,
I doubt any of this correlates with how people vote but Trump has always been a braggart and obsessed with his rallies so it's going to get under his skin when people make light of the thin crowds, people walking out early or looking half asleep. You could see the rusty old cogs in his brain start turning when Kamala mentioned it in the debate.

Sage advice for everyone:
They showed one y/day on Meidas touch with Vance appearing with one of Trumps disgusting sons - the bearded REALLY arrogant looking one - and there was literally less than 100 people there.
From Herald Sun today
Trumps rich backers - Musk (180m),
Harris - Michael Bloomberg, Bill Gates
Plus 2-3 other names each I wasn’t familiar with but worth 20b+
Billionaires have donated at least $A1 billion, or about 18 per cent, of the record $A5.8 billion raised during the election so far, according to campaign finance filings.
Mr Trump, himself a billionaire, relied most heavily on his high-society brethren with about one-third of funds raised by his campaign and associated groups coming from billionaires, according to an analysis of the filings by The Financial Times. Ms Harris’ billionaire backing was about six per cent.
Here are just a few of the 144 billionaires, out of the US’s 800, who are using their fortunes to help bankroll the election.

I'm still leaning towards a Trump win tomorrow.
Same reasoning that I had when he was against Clinton, I just think when push comes to shove that there's a percentage of swing voters who through unconscious bias will gravitate towards a male candidate over a female.
I think it's going to be super close, but that will be the difference in the end.

they only guess I have, is it won't be close.
As Nate Silvers has said the chance that all these polls are so close so consistently is extremely low.
It's going to be lopsided.

For those playing at home, can you just explain again which side are the "goodies" and which are "baddies"?
I'm seeing a lot of these Harris = Clinton posts but I don't know that it's a reasonable comparison. Clinton had a lot of baggage that went beyond just being a woman. I don't think Harris is a particularly charismatic candidate but she was able to fly under the radar in a way Clinton really couldn't.
I don't know who is going to win. My guess is Harris, comfortably
I've occasionally come across tweets over the last 6 months equating the % of voters who turn out to the end election result. No idea how accurate the figures are, however it does go along way to explaining why the GOP in red states go out of their way to make it as hard as possible for some people to vote
Early and postal voting in some states is already at 55%
Would personally love to see 70+% to witnessMitch McConnell's Lindsey Graham's premonition come true
