was it pre-planned, deliberate and an intentional chant prompted by Trump's campaign people?
It's almost like Trump told his campaign people that they need to come up with a new chant for the rallies to replace 'Lock Her Up'.
I just can't believe that this crowd came up with that chant all by themselves. I would like to hear from the media people in the room as to how this chant broke out. Did they think it was prompted by Trump's campaign people?

(3,430 posts)...worked at least on one news channel that was reporting on the chant. What was broadcast clearly and repeatedly was Trump's claim...that's the message that was clearly conveyed.
Both sides, you know.

When they do this without fully examining whether this was spontaneous or pre-planned they wind up providing Trump with the desired outcome he was looking for - to bolster his re-election strategy.

(5,275 posts)This is so like some of the early rallies of Hitler and Mussolini. His fans either never had the capacity for critical thinking or years of Fox News have tamped that down deep. They are like puppets, most of them in a financial situation that is being hurt by their hero.
This is the full bloom of long time resentment by the unwashed masses of all the moves and laws of the Civil Rights Movement. Many still see the Civil War as the war of Northern Aggression.
I have to think Orange Creeps recent overt up front racism, sexism, and homophobia is turning off some of his more moderate, more educated, supporters, particularly College educated women.
I see no way that Idiot can win the popular vote but because of the stupid and antiquated Electoral College.....well that makes it worrisome. Get out and vote like your life depends on it in those swing states!

(5,810 posts)They instruct and demonstrate for the crowd what to say, what to chant. Eventually the crowd knows when to say, Push em back or hold that line, etc. tRump and his rally planners know this is how you get a crowd to say or chant what you want them to. Plant a few leaders in the crowd who blend in to look like everyone else. At preplanned times, they erupt into the desired chant. After a few rallies, the crowd had been taught their part. All it takes is one or two leaders to start the chant. Easy peasy.
Anyone who has ever been to a ball game knows there is an emotional element to it, too. Get the crowd revved up enough and they will tear a stadium apart celebrating. They will trample each other, tear down goal posts, set cars on fire and create havoc. And this is often done by the winning side. All brought on by an emotional frenzy. tRump is playing with fire. It can easily spin out of his control so he better be careful what he tries to create.
