Political horse race aficionado John Heilemann, speaking on MSNBC, noted that the Malignant Loser's crowds in New Hampshire are underwhelming compared to previous campaigns:
"It's the SNHU Arena across the street from where I am now. It's a big sports arena, they do hockey games and basketball games stuff there. We were there together four years ago....We were all out there, there was a huge snowstorm. It seats 10,000 people and it was packed to the gills in 2016. The other night here, there were empty seats all over the arena...
They said there were a few thousand people there, and there probably were a few thousand, but that seats 10,000; it was way less than half filled, and even in the lower level, you could see just seat after seat after seat with no one in it....Last night, you know, he did an event on Sunday night in Rochester: the place as a capacity of 700. I mean he filled 700 seats, but, you know, Trump used to brag about the 10,000 people, 12,000 people. 'We kept 10,000 people outside, as far as the eye can see.'" (our emphasis)
Nikki Haley-supporting Gov. Sununu noticed the same thing. Others have noticed a drop in enthusiasm for the Malignant Loser this year, most likely because his grievance and hate-filled appearances have become tired and predictable. His cognitive abilities, as witnessed in his frequent ramblings and confusion about people and places, have notably declined (although they were never good to begin with). Let the decline in attendance and his mental acuity continue.
