Trump rallies have become their own bubble of facts and feelings. And in that bubble, the campaign is going well.

“I’m feeling good,” said Scott Abbott in Ocala, Fla., on Wednesday afternoon, pressing his face against a chain-link fence to catch a glimpse of Trump’s motorcade pulling up to the Southeastern Livestock Pavilion. He acknowledged he’d be stuck outside during the speech, but he was chipper rather than disappointed. The thousands inside the pavilion and many others waiting in line must be a good sign, he said.

“It's going to be a landslide with Trump,” said the Tampa-based software developer. “It certainly looks like it."

The polls, which showed the GOP candidate falling further behind in national surveys and in key battleground states, were not to be trusted inside the bubble. They simply didn’t align with what Trump supporters saw themselves.

The real media bias are the manufactured evidence free realities created in Fox News, RW Talk Radio, and extremist media outlets like Brietbart.

1. They are going to lose their minds when he is crushed in November

I remember seeing a Tumbler when Romney lost. White people mourning Romney.

I saved it because I am looking forward to seeing the Cheeto supporters get destroyed.

7. Thanks for posting this.

Reading these were interesting, to say the least. I can't wait for the one after this election.

9. Yes. Please share. I want a framed picture of the Fox News gang with Rove

when they called the 2012 election for Obama.

2. Poor 'ol Scott Abbott.

He can't even get into a Trump rally - in a livestock pavilion

Maybe the livestock are on the wrong side of the fence.

3. Trump's defeat will lead to a violent response to some of these supporters encased in their bubbles.

They've been so insulated from what's really happening that all they can think is that the fix was in.

12. I think life has been rigged in Trump's favor. How else could such a loser even be in the race.

It took a lot of very gullible, narrow minded, haters to propel him to this point.
