Democrats are trying to get under Donald Trump’s skin hours before his debate with Kamala Harris.
The Harris campaign released an ad Tuesday featuring former President Barack Obama’s eyebrow-raising moment from the Democratic National Convention in which he meaningfully glanced down at his hands as he joked about Trump’s obsession with crowd size.
“He’s a 78-year-old billionaire who has not stopped whining about his problems,” Obama said from the DNC stage.
The ad appears to be an effort to shift attention to Trump’s age and unpopular aspects of his personality ahead of a debate in Pennsylvania that could prove to be a pivotal moment in the campaign.The 30-second ad shows a series of seemingly small and dispirited crowds at Trump campaign rallies — and then flashes to a Harris event with a packed arena.

Trump started it. This is just a tactic - turning one of his favorite claims back on him. We WANT him to get apoplectic over Harris/Walz crowd numbers!

Don’t forget that Turnip’s literal first act as president (or a guy playing one on TV) was to complain and blatantly lie about his reported crowd size.

But really, it’s not crowd size that’s the issue. It’s the quality of the ideas and feelings that motivate the crowd that really count. The blue crowds, unlike the red ones, have the best interests of the country, of our democracy, at heart. And they want intelligent, experienced, honest people to lead them and solve the many problems that we face today.
If you agree, Vote Blue up and down the ballot AND, if you’re ready, willing, and able, help Democrats get out the vote, the Blue Vote and in big enough numbers to win the White House and both houses of Congress. Donate. Volunteer. Organize.

People go to see Trump for the same reason they go to NASCAR races; they expect wrecks.
