In 2016, both the Sanders and Trump campaigns promoted the idea that large crowds at their rallies were an indicator of the level of enthusiasm they were receiving from voters. Of course, Sanders went on to lose the primary and although Trump eked out a victory in the electoral college, he lost the popular vote by three million. All of that happened in a year when pundits had decided that populist anger was the theme of that election.

On Saturday, Sanders supporter Michael Moore took to Facebook before Trump’s rally in Tulsa to issue this warning.

They started lining up on Tues in Tulsa for Trump’s rally today. 100,000 are expected! Trump has lost none of his base and they are more rabid than ever. Sleeping on the sidewalk for five nights just to get in to see Trump? THAT is commitment. Do not take Trump for granted. Don’t think he can’t win…If you are once again not taking my warnings seriously, then I have a question I want you to answer, and I ask you to answer me honestly:
“How many people would line up for five days just to hear Joe Biden talk?”…
Don’t think we don’t have a problem here. Don’t get all smug laughing at these Bubbas in Tulsa today & snickering over how many of them are going to come down with Covid-19. They live, eat and breathe Trump — and none of us do that with Joe Biden.
