Trump's rally turned a voter into a Kamala Harris voter because of her insults and tardiness

Going to a Donald Trump rally turned at least one attendee into a Kamala Harris supporter.

At the Las Vegas rally, the 22-year-old undecided voter grew tired of the insults and wanted to leave, the Washington Post reported. “22-year-old Anastasia Bennett quickly got tired of the insults and was ready to leave. Bennett was undecided before attending the rally with her aunt, who supports Harris. But after listening to Trump speak, he said he intended to vote for Harris.

“It was insults and only an hour delay,” he said.

People consistently leave former President Donald Trump's rallies early, so the Washington Post asked why. Most stay, they noted, but Trump is often late and long, “prompting many to bow out because of other responsibilities, priorities or sometimes waning patience and interest,” according to Washington Post interviews and observations of dozens of events. Some said they wanted to beat traffic or had work the next day. Others complained about the sound quality. A man wanted to go home to his French Bulldog. Another had to get home to his daughter. The third had York with him, which began to act. A fourth man said his phone had died.”

Some examples from their report:

In Atlanta, “as he continued to speak, bashing Republican Gov. Brian Kemp and going off script, hundreds, if not thousands, left the arena.”

In Indiana, “attendees walked out as Trump falsely claimed that “every legal expert” wanted abortion policies rolled back in the states within an hour of his speech. More remained as he repeated his warning of 'World War III'.

“At 9:20 p.m., about 90 minutes after he started, empty seats were evident at the Kowalczyk Convention and Sports Complex while Trump called the nation's capital a 'horror show.' He finished his speech about five minutes later.

Indiana is the state Trump won by a wide margin, but I've talked to die-hard Trump supporters there, following the same people from the 2016 campaign to now, who tell me they wish he would stop holding rallies because he sounds good. . He gives whining and fainting. They still support him and still want him to win, but even they can see that he doesn't do well when he speaks publicly.

We see evidence of this in the visible decline in support for the former president in western Pennsylvania. there are fewer Trump signs and a surprising amount of Harris-Waltz signs. More amazing Harris-Walz signs appear every day. Tokens don't vote, but they can be seen as a sign of enthusiasm.

In Tucson, even Republican Senate candidate Kari Lake left early, in fact, she was one of the first, the Post reported.

Trump won't cut the two hours because “They want a show. They want two hours,” according to an ally who spoke to the Post.

Gone is the charismatic populist who made sweeping promises he couldn't keep, and for which he would go on to show he had little real interest. He rambles on, gives them two hours of a “show” of stale, old, immature grievances to pet in public, going off script, saying insults, slurring his words, and that's after he shows up late.

In fact, listening to Donald Trump these days is enough to turn off potential supporters. I've heard this many times from die-hard Trump supporters in Pennsylvania, and now we have at least one Trump rally attendee. To know Donald Trump is to dislike him.
