of 100 to go to their boring events. Bush eg, had about 168 people at his event and many of them said they were just there because 'I like Town Hall Meetings'.

Donald Trump is just entertainment. What is shameful is how the media is giving him so much coverage. But then, that is all THEY are, entertainment.

Fortunately few Americans watch them for NEWS anymore. So while they put on a show, people who want news go to the New Media.
