      No one thought it was possible. But with the help of President Trump a Republican managed to win a governorship in Mississippi.

      The fact that Trump is so often holding rallies in deep red states is not, when you think about it, a sign of strength.

          Especially when you consider Trump pushed all his rhetorical chips into Kentucky as a safe state and still got his teeth kicked in, relatively speaking.

          And yet he draws immense power from them each time. It is like a sci-fi movie.

          You're right. I maybe wrong but its more for adoration and his ego. Prior to winning the 2016 election, he said he wanted to do Trump rallies for the next 8 years. People cheering for him and buying his merchandise as if he's an ultra famous world pop idol or rockstar.

          FIXED IT: The fact that Trump ONLY holds rallies in states that rank 48th or 49th in health, income and literacy rates speaks for itself.

          Of course he does, because it's what worked in 2016 and there's nothing to say it won't work again.

          The problem is in trying to apply "facts" to Trump. You can't apply logic to what is more accurately energy. When Trump holds rallies in red states he is creating energy. Energy, both good and bad, is what won him the Presidency.
