And havent seen or heard any comparison of the crowd sizes. In Arizona Harris packed a 20-30K arena. In Montana, Trump only half filled an 8K venue.
Maybe I just missed the comparisons. If anyone saw any please let me know.

Perfect time for comparison. Dueling rallies.
Media fails AGAIN.

(19,519 posts)It must remain that way right up to election day. The only way to determine the actual horse race winner is to examine the photo finish record to see which horse's nose crossed the finish line first.
This neck to neck horse race -fictitious or otherwise - maximizes the political advert income for the MSM - significantly increasing their bottom line income and profits due to the endless expensive political ads required for the candidates to win.
The more advert sales the MSM can ring up in their cash registers the more profits they realize.
Catching - catching $$$$$,... - profits are paramount,... Democracy is an after thought or does not even enter the equation at all.
Ain't hyper-capitalism grand ? The ways money corrupts and contaminates the American political process is sickening, shameful, and so detrimental to democracy itself.

These are the folks (yes, corps are "people", sometimes) who made billions from the Trump tax cuts.
I wonder who they favor?
