(1,446 posts)and none of them would ever go to a rally. Well, I'll take that back. They have all paid to go to local fundraising teas and women's groups. They even have a book club that is dedicated to Hillary fundraising. For them attending a rally is just not something they find enjoyable...driving far away, parking, walking to some large venue and standing in a crowd of thousands for hours. As my mom said, "You couldn't pay me to do that! I'll gladly donate another $1,000 to NOT have to go to a rally...but I've already hit my limit."
As for my dad, he is also a Hillary supporter, but doesn't have the same type of friend circles. He tells me that he would be fine with a Hillary rally, if it happened at a sporting event. Otherwise, he is also content to just vote and make campaign contributions.
