By going to California--twice recently--by booking a rally in Madison Square Garden on Oct. 27, by going to places where he has no hope of winning, he is dominating the news cycles. "I'm going to sell out the Garden," he has said. These are the largest media markets in the world. His rally in the Coachella Valley was covered as if a Shock & Awe event had occurred and was the top story of any kind that day. Kamala meanwhile was in swing states in traditional venues doing traditional politics. Trumpie's campaign thinks they suckered her into doing the traditional, and getting comparatively no attention, while he was grabbing all of the headlines.
But Coachella and even L.A. are nothing compared to Madison Square Garden. Hoover, Roosevelt twice, and Kennedy all made must-book reservations. The most famous speech there was FDR's in 1936, one that I urged President Biden to replicate when he was still a candidate. "They hate me, and I relish their hatred!" According to biographer James McGregor Burns, the crowd moved ominously like a serpent and roared like a lion.
trumpie knows that 20,000 MAGAts will move and roar with equal power and hate. And where better than in Manhattan, where trumpie has been convicted of 34 felonies and found liable for hundreds of millions of dollars in civil suits? Manhattan is the media capital of the WORLD. They will cover this rally like they have never covered any other rally in political history.
Kamala has a track record of taunting trumpie by appearing at venues that he has appeared at, in Wilkes-Barre, in Erie, for example. I urged Biden in 2020 and 2024 to show up at trump rallies! Security nightmare, I realize. She won't do it for many good reasons, but if she did, if Kamala Harris got a ticket and gained admission, she would freak trumpie out. Might get killed too. Might get roughed up. Will get taunted. That's what we want! (Not the getting killed part.) Just be there with her Secret Service escort and just watch quietly--but noticeably to trumpie--listen, and film. She urges us to attend trumpie's rallies. Do it. What courage that would show, and what a show-up of trumpie that would be!
