Donald Trumps Rally in Georgia Was a Total Bustby Patricia Murphy at the Daily Beast

"SNIP...............
With each event, Trump put himself in the same leaky boat as the crowds, and they believed him. America is getting screwed, he told them. I am going to make America great again. Youre going to be so proud. Heads nodded, soon-to-be voters hooked on every word.
But the Trump rally in Macon, Georgia, on Monday night was something else. Trump spoke to a crowd of roughly 6,000 in a coliseum that could have handled 10,000. But more glaring than the empty seatsa rarity at most Trump eventswas the overwhelming whiteness of the faces in the crowd. Out of thousands in attendance, I saw maybe two dozen or so who were black or Latino during my three hours there.
............
Instead, Trump began rambling for more than an hour of about the incredibly, horribly unfair treatment of white menin particular one white man, Donald Trump.
Trump rattled off his list of people who have treated him poorly. The press: These are really dishonest people. His Republican opponents: These are horrible people. Karl Rove: Some people are losers. Bobby Jindal: Some people are vicious.

He might not have filled the arena but still, 6000 people showed up. On a Monday night.

And Rove is certainly a loser.
