General Discussion

I promise you, presidential campaigns are not planning out their October rally schedule in July because the nature of the race is so fluid that boxing yourself into holding a rally that far out upends the race entirely. States you maybe thought were competitive in July, might not be competitive in October - and states you wrote off in July? Well they might actually be competitive in October.

No campaign is planning out their rallies months in advance. It doesn't happen that way. In fact, once you get to October, it goes by week - as in the campaign will plot out its schedule for next week probably some time THIS week. Certainly they weren't planning it out months ago.
