Why is MSNBC giving so much air time to the Trump rally?

[Kyblue1]

[Ptah]

1. Apparently, people are watching.

[nolabear]

2. Because when the circus comes to town everybody wants to see the show.

Morbid curiosity.

[Cirque du So-What]

14. And who's the star of the circus?

[grumpyduck]

3. Because it generates ad revenue.

5. Maybe because there

will be about 100,000 people there.

[jorgevlorgan]

12. Same reason people like to rubberneck bad car wrecks.

Humans love sensationalism.

13. Joy Reid is explains the 'why'

right now. If I am understanding her correctly it is because of this historical significance of this weekend.

[fleur-de-lisa]

15. Because people will watch.

Tune into another channel. Read a book.

[Hekate]

16. Because it's not every day you can watch a train drive right off a cliff at full throttle.

Mark your calendar -- it should hit the bottom of the canyon in about 14 days.

[manhattan123]

22. The same reason NASCAR gets aired

Hoping for a fiery crash.

[Binkie The Clown]

23. They want cameras on him when he makes a bloody fool of himself.

There could be some real goldmine bits of footage from his speech as he repeatedly puts his foot in his mouth. They can hammer him with that footage for the next week or two.

[eissa]

24. It's 2016 all over again

With the press following this clown and his mouth-breathing supporters everywhere, sucking all the energy out of an election year, while our guy stands around trying to appear presidential.
