Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump consistently draws large, enthusiastic and rowdy crowds to his rallies and other campaign events. And yet, at nearly all of them, another trend is clear: Scores of people leave early.

It's fun to dunk on him and all, but is this really the most important story about his campaign? (spoiler alert, no, it's not, it's frivolous and the post loves this shit.)

"trying to get out ahead of the traffic" wasn't one of the reasons??? i feel like that's the exact demographic who would attend the rallies.

It’s the same people at all of his rallies. They travel to the freakshows like Deadheads did.

Why does @washingtonpost.com suck donald trump's tiny misshapen cock all the time? You're the first ones he would put up against the wall if he were president again.

Seeing Trump has become more a hobby than a rally for Trump’s voter base. Point out how racist they are all you like, they’re still mostly middle class rural folks who work till they sweat on a dead end job that’s been losing income for 30 years now. There’s a life outside of Trump.

Maybe they want to show support for orange man but are unwilling to take a bullet for him. The latter I wouldn’t blame them for!

I’m more interested in the psychology of why people show up for a seditious rapist in the first place. When are we, as a country, going to hold Right Wing media accountable for their leveraging of bigotry and hate, to brainwash people into a separate reality?
