WSJ reporter: 70 minutes into Trump rally, his supporters are heading for the doors.





70 minutes into his Cincinnati rally, Trump supporters heading for the doors. There are a handful of empty seats behind him in the “VIP" sections and a steady stream of people are leaving from the floor.

This comes after Trump says it's “boring” when he reads from the prompter.

...for almost an hour without a teleprompter or notes, he was fascinating to listen to. But he was talking economic policy, not hate and racism. I was disappointed when he wrapped up.

He is a fascinating man and rarely ever stays on script. He has a lot to say and rarely is dull.

His schtik is getting boring. Same old hate and bigotry. Same old catch phrases. Same old chants over and over and over. And he's really gotten nothing to brag about in the form of true accomplishments. He runs the risk of becoming something he himself hates -- boring.

(And I apologize , for the name escapes me, but most of you would probably recognize her or have heard her in the past) that if Trump were in her line of work, he couldn't get booked to do the lobby bar at the Airport Marriott in Des Moines.

His shtick is so overplayed and worn out, it's no wonder even his most die hard fans are getting tired ot it.

The "Send Her Back" bullshit is about as new as it gets for this dipshit-in-chief and that's saying something.

are just crashing bores.

Trump is a very boring man. He always has been and always will be. He has no interests in anything but himself and golf. Oh, and fast food, diet coke, pretending to be a big "deal-maker", porn stars and under-aged females. He is a disgusting specimen of humanity.

Anyone who is as self-obsessed as he is will eventually end up turning off even their biggest supporters. Hopefully, people are finally tiring of his pathetic schtick.

He is vile.

And not only that, saying the same thing over and over and over? Seriously you get bored after 30. I'm surprised that the audience held on for that long!

And Trump still got elected.

His base is not losing interest. They will be voting and Dems need not be complacent or believe these articles about his rallies. These people who left early will still vote for him.
