At least if the Twitter comments are to believed that video was from 1.5hr before the Trump rally. I'm sure it annoys him the same as if it were real, but this isn't beneficial to ensuring Democrats realize the urgency to get out and vote in November.
I think the latest Harris rally was packed multiple hours before it started so that may be the angle they're going for.
If Trump is gonna make bullshit claims like he had a bigger crowd than MLK I don't care if she takes a few creative liberties in her ads.
It's apples to oranges honestly. Unless they're both at the same venue in a particularly mixed state, he could be further out the fringe and she could have been more in a city center, as each of their bases demographics are apt to be.
From what I saw of the two rallies he is straining to fill the venues whereas she is training to find seating for people.
But it doesn't really mean anything until they're filling the mall in DC.
That said I hope she keeps it up. It's been a long time since the left has had somebody in that's willing to play the game and not just lose on dignity.
Woah woah woah. When did we decide to stop using the grammatical abomination "get out the vote"? Is this another benefit that the Harris campaign has done? Winning the pedant vote!
