What if the rally is in a city with a population of 100,000 or so, as they often are? Why didn't the other 90,000 come to it? Trump's rally in Janesville attracted "several thousand" people (whatever that means), but the population of Janesville is about 65,000, which is a lot more than "several thousand," and obviously more people didn't show up than did. Trump seems to believe that a big crowd is everybody. He's not good at math, I think.
