rallies with as many big names as possible.
The kind of rallies that get covered by national media.
Rallies that energize voters, rallies that focus on young voters, etc etc.
In terms of the national stage, It just feels quiet.

Speeches by celebs, pols, and regular folk. Lots of music.
Everyone wear blue.
Sing songs with the words blue and wave in them. Make it fun.

All f tRumps rallies are covered by national media, and take on importance that just does not exist.
It is simply not true that there are more of them than us.....but how would you know unless it is touted and on display??

We need everything.
Democrats are famous for not voting in the mid terms.
Democrats voted in very very small numbers in 2010, democrats staying away from the polls made room for the tea party.
I am sorry to say that people just don't vote.
I also disagree with those that say big huge rally's will not get the attention of the media. The media will absolutely cover a big rally even if it's just a short clip.
