and we are talking more about setting a tone that will lead to positive election results. Watch Trump go crazy, for example, if crowd size gets brought up during the ABC debate. It could completely go haywire for him and make him look demented on live TV.

Trump has made the last three campaigns about optics, and the discussions about crowd size, are key to that whole optics vibe.
