His official campaign launch rally y'day in Philadelphia (his home town, essentially, since everyone here in the "Delaware Valley" = Phila media market & part of the suburbs of Phila) was pretty sparsely attended. Weather was perfect, Saturday afternoon, shoulda been much bigger

Agree. But... my parents were very similar to your grandmother politically and I live in his home turf so I get the mindset. The rally still should have been much bigger. Hillary's numbers were huge too, early on.

Maybe. I wonder how much effort they put into publicizing it.
