I've lived in some deep blue areas over the years. Both Slick Willy Clinton and Hussein Obama were able to draw crowds like this, especially of young, brainwashed, doe-eyed college kids and scraggly, aged 60s-era hippies.
What they can't do, and what Trump can, is fill entire stadiums with tens of thousands of people on short notice anywhere in the country at his Trump rallies. People really aren't going for him. They're going to feel patriotic, to be around others who share their ideals and who just as desperately want this country to live up to them again. They go because of a dream that they want to see made into reality. And for a few short hours, Trump reminds them that we are still great and can rise again if we stick to our ideals and fight for the truth.
I'll even go further than that. Around the world over the last century or two, people fell in love with the dream of a free society in which we ruled ourselves and gave ourselves all of the opportunities for prosperity that Americans had won for themselves in their country. We wanted the chance to live our lives, get married, build families, build successful careers, earn a good living, buy some property to call our own, and give our kids a better life. We all want that, and it's in danger now because of this creeping nightmare of Communism which has been infiltrated by stealth into every aspect of our lives.
We're (the whole world) looking for a leader who'll champion the values of that dream. If he or she will just step forward and pick up the sword, a whole army worldwide is ready to fight with them. That's what the Trump rallies are about. That's what the Canadian trucker protest is about. It's what the mass protests all across the EU and into Australia are about. We don't want to live as slaves to these people. But we're still search of those leaders.
I think he was talking about the full motorcade with medical and comms vans.
