McCaskill: The Trump supporters going to multiple rallies are "a traveling sideshow of cultists."

Link to tweet

How many of those at Trump rallies are “repeaters”? I see reports of people there that have been to dozens. What percentage of his audience has traveled from out of state?These are not organic support in the community where held..rather a traveling sideshow of cultists.

I have seen numerous interviews where rally-goers admit to following him around, much like a parallel universe Deadhead. Which makes this rally even more egregious, and they'll be carrying COVID-19 back from where they came. This is why it's being called a "super-spreader" event.

Except that the risks of going to see Jerry Garcia’s band were far less. OK, you might get busted for grass (or run out), your tickets might be bogus, you might get sunburn (if the concert was held outside during daylight), you MIGHT get Mono (if you encountered the right fellow-deadhead), but you didn’t risk catching an airborne virus that could kill ya.

They will truly become DEADheads. Good riddance. Mandated cremation. Do not waste another square inch of earth to bury their fat asses. Already destroyed enough of the planet and wasted enough oxygen mouth breathing. Spread the toxic ashes over trump properties.

served one purpose and one purpose only. No not to boost Trump's ego. This rally which Trump wanted to be held yesterday is a diversion from the removal of Berman from SDNY. Something happened on the way to the forum though, Berman didn't go quietly.

I wish that msnbc and cnn would do more coverage of Berman today than Trump's rally but that's asking a lot.

A woman interviewed on MSNBC said this was her 36th rally in 19 states. I think that many of the people travel to sell crap. Like Deadheads without the music.

This is on there now.

All you need to do is go to craigslist.org, put in the city of Tulsa, and go to events. It's NOT a rumor. I found it myself. The first one was advertising was for "minorities".

How many of the attendees are real, die hard cultists, and how many are simply bored and looking to be entertained? We may find out in November.

I saw the Concord NH stop, from "backstage". Mrs. Mopar worked at the State Library, which is a block north of the State House Plaza. Our bank was in the block south. Main Street blocked for 6 blocks, and DESERTED. Other than the 2 TP Tour buses, and 3 satellite trucks, there were NO people outside the tiny little scrum crammed onto a set of Little League bleachers, the Rec Dept keeps on the corner of the plaza.
Imagine your inner life so bleak, that you would consider becoming a "Deader`n Dead Head"!
