Some members of this forum occasionally point to Trump's filled-to-overflowing rallies as evidence of his popularity and support. Trump himself likes to talk about his crowd size compared to that of other candidates. There is some truth to that. Trump can clearly draw more supporters into a stadium than any other candidate now in the 2020 presidential race.
But a planed event that targets one's pre-identified supporters is different than strolling into an event filled with the general public, like a baseball game, where Trump event planners are not in control.. The response Trump received at last night's baseball game was quite different than what he receives at his rallies.
That does not mean the cheers Trump receives at his rallies are false. Clearly they are there and real. But that's not the whole story, is it? This general-public baseball game response is also an indicator of his popularity and support. While there were certainly Trump supporters in that crowd, they either did not cheer or were out-cheered by those who booed.
Boos and chants of 'lock him up greet Trump at World Series baseball match
While "lock her up" and "lock him up" have become popular chants, I've never liked them. They degrade civic discourse and thus our democracy. Had I been in that crowd, I would not have booed or changed "lock him up." We can and should express ourselves politically on a higher plane.
