4:22Now PlayingDonald Trump’s rally sizes continue to grow smaller, and the number of people that are leaving his rallies early continues to increase. This could be a bad sign of things to come for Trump in November, according to George Conway. If people can’t be bothered to sit through the entire event – or even to show up at all – it could be a sign that they aren’t very enthusiastic, which could lead to his “supporters” staying home on November 5th. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this.

It's no secret that Donald Trump is not only holding smaller rallies than he used to with fewer attendees, but also that in each and every rally you've got tons of people, dozens, if not hundreds, in some instances, leaving early. And according to a recent report by the Washington Post where they had a reporter in the back of the room counting people walking out, there were 200 people at a recent rally who walked out within the first 20 minutes of Donald Trump speaking. So he can't lie his way out of this. He can't say the fig news media is lying. No, they have documented this. There is video of this. People leave because they don't care what you have to say. And the few people that remain is only a fraction of what you used to be able to pull in. Let's face it, Donald, you simply don't have it anymore and nobody wants what it is you have now, trust me.
But George Conway, right? The ex-husband of former Trump, uh, counselor Kellyann Conway, thinks that there may be something to this, right? The fact that he is not only pulling in smaller crowds, but the fact that people are leaving so early could be a very bad omen for Donald Trump for the 2024 election next month. Here is what Conway said during a recent appearance on M-S-N-B-C. I think if there is exhaustion factor, I mean, maybe it is anecdotal for people saying they're looking at these crowds and looking for yard signs, but you don't feel the level of energy they had before. I think his own base is exhausted, and I think the whole country is exhausted. But the people who want to vote them out, who have been against him all along, and the people who have come to understand his true evil, those people are motivated to get out. The other people sick of him are his own people. And it's like, all right, I don't want to go to another rally. Do I really want to, do I have to give up on election day? How many envelopes do I have to these envelopes are bad. I'm not going to vote.
So Conway thinks this could be a sign of a lack of enthusiasm brought on by Trump exhaustion. And he brings up an, an anecdote here, and it's an anecdote that I've been wanting to share for over a month now, and I'm gonna share it now. And, and again, this is purely anecdotal, but here it is. I live in a deep red part of Florida. Matt Gaetz is my congressman. Every election cycle, there are Republican yard signs as far as the eye can see, okay? That is not an exaggeration. Every street corner, right? Every empty lot, there will be these massive signs for gates, for Trump, if it's a a presidential election year. And all the other Republican candidates here locally we're less than a month out from the election. And that's not happening. It's literally not happening. I have seen just as many Harris bumper stickers in this area, this deep red area of
Florida than I have seen Trump stickers. I was driving down a main drag on this, uh, uh, uh, uh, through this neighborhood, basically last weekend. That is a neighborhood, by the way, that is always filled with Republican yard signs. Every election cycle, every yard almost. There were two Trump signs down that entire three mile stretch. Two, there were four Harris wall signs. Again, it's anecdotal, but I literally see it every day. But more importantly, I'm noticing what I'm not seeing there is a lack of enthusiasm. Maybe it's embarrassment, maybe it's exhaustion or maybe that many people have woken up and that's why they're not going to his rallies. That's why once they start hearing him talking, they're like, oh my God, I can't do this. I gotta leave. Whatever it is, it's certainly not good for Donald Trump. And I think that is going to, uh, pardon me, play a big role in the results that we see coming on November 5th.
