Make no mistake about it.
The Regime wants Trump to stop drawing massive crowds at outdoor rallies for one reason only, and it's not for safety.
This, along with manipulated polling, is to fool people into thinking it's a close race and to eventually. legitimize the steal.
I think they should simply do their job and stop trying to allow Trump to be taken out.
Crazy idea I know

Translation: They are blaming Trump for July 13th.
@SolidMareRepublican2yrs2Y
Why, so they can corner him indoors next time? No thanks.
