You know your rally is a bust when ...

15. These rallies are all he has. Had?

Remember the early weeks of the administration when he had a few rallies that the media called "campaign style rallies" because it did not compute that he could be running for reelection so shortly after starting? It's like if someone enjoyed the job interview process, got the job but hated it so scheduled more interviews. I don't remember Lincoln having Stephen Douglas brought back for another debate when the war wasn't going well. Except for cutting his own taxes, installing judges and neutering the EPA, all Trump has done is run for a second term. What would be the purpose of the second term?

We all know he is self centered, but it is not as simple as that. We have all had to expand our notion of how self centered a person could be to explain what we are seeing. It's like one person growing to 15 feet tall and redefining how tall a person could get. His ego cannot be understated, he has to be stroked all day everyday, and anyone not stroking him has to be explained away.

So what now? The rallies are about having everyone in the room love him but now there's not enough to fill the room. Expect him to play smaller and smaller rooms until it's just him and the nursing home employee who's just there to change his diaper.
