49. No ever said rallies weren't important

Tue Oct 8, 2024, 09:10 PM

Oct 8

but a presidential campaign is more than just doing a bunch of rallies. And I trust that Harris and those running her campaign know what they are doing.

As far as Trump, he’s doing far fewer rallies this year than he did in the past. https://www.axios.com/2024/09/22/trump-2024-rallies-schedule

Actually: sheshe2 Oct 6 #13

This is not true. Self Esteem Oct 6 #12

See post 13. sheshe2 Oct 6 #14

Most rallies are SocialDemocrat61 Oct 7 #25

Nope. Harris' rallies are not planned months in advance. That is not a thing in presidential politics. Self Esteem Oct 7 #26

No they are not SocialDemocrat61 Oct 7 #27

It's not unfair. Self Esteem Oct 7 #28

Yes it is unfair SocialDemocrat61 Oct 7 #29

No it's not because the campaign's infrastructure hasn't been up for only a few months. Self Esteem Oct 7 #30

They are a useful part of a campaign SocialDemocrat61 Oct 8 #35

They are imperative. Especially at this stage. Self Esteem Oct 8 #38

Again, it's unfair to compare to the Obama 12 campaign SocialDemocrat61 Oct 8 #43

No it's not. Self Esteem Oct 8 #44

It's not playing it safe SocialDemocrat61 Oct 8 #45

The issue isn't 'just having rallies'. It's 'having rallies'. Self Esteem Oct 8 #46

Trump likes rallies SocialDemocrat61 Oct 8 #52

Holding one rally a week won't cut it. It's that simple. Self Esteem Oct 9 #53

Cut it for who? SocialDemocrat61 Oct 9 #55

I trusted Hillary's campaign would make the right decisions too down the stretch. Self Esteem Oct 9 #56

Well like I said SocialDemocrat61 Oct 9 #57

I've told the campaign already. Self Esteem Oct 9 #58

Great SocialDemocrat61 Oct 9 #59

Yes, but there have been hurricanes, an intense conflict with Israel and the middle east, Quiet Em Oct 8 #40

Good point. Fortunately, we have a president who can deal with a lot of that since he's not running. Self Esteem Oct 8 #41
