Trump rallies attracting thousands of first time voters

 Epoch Times:

Attendee data suggests that President Donald Trump’s base is expanding and not only limited to Republicans or those who voted for him in 2016, according to Republican Party Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel, who has been regularly sharing the data on Twitter.

At Trump’s third rally in Martinsburg, Pennsylvania, on Monday, there were 11,593 attendees, 14.1 percent of whom were not Republican, and 21.6 percent of whom did not vote in 2016. At another rally in Lititz, Pennsylvania, on Monday, there were 18,894 attendees, 22.2 percent of whom were not registered Republicans, and 20.8 percent of whom did not vote in 2016. Earlier on Monday, at Trump’s first rally in Allentown, Pennsylvania, there were 13,331 attendees, 23.8 percent of whom were not Republicans, and 21.9 percent of whom did not vote in 2016, according to information gathered from signups for the events.

“While Joe Biden holds ZERO events today, @realDonaldTrump is firing up supporters all across PENNSYLVANIA! From his first rally!,” she wrote on Twitter, referring to Democratic nominee Joe Biden, who has scarcely held campaign events.

...

 Meanwhile, Trump has continued to hold large-scale outdoor campaign events. At a rally in Manchester, New Hampshire, on Sunday, McDaniel said of the 13,263 who attended, 20.4 did not vote in 2016 and 44.8 were not registered Republicans.

 “Our supporters in NEW HAMPSHIRE are ready to turn the state red for @realDonaldTrump!,” she wrote.

At Trump’s Oct. 17 event in Janesville, Wisconsin, McDaniel said that 47.5 percent of 13,850 attendees were not Republicans and at his Oct. 14 rally in Des Moines, Iowa, 29.4 percent of 10,134 attendees were Democrats.

At the president’s first rally after recovering from the CCP virus in Florida on Oct. 12, 24.4 percent did not vote in 2016 and 31.8 percent were not Republicans, McDaniel said. Meanwhile, 16.3 percent explicitly stated they were Democrats.

...

Only a handful of people are turning out for Biden and Harris events even when he brings real rock stars with him.  I get the impression that pollsters are not able to quantify this type of support for the President.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t
