Donald Trump’s Georgia crowd didn’t make it through a half an hour before they started walking out on him.

Usually Trump’s crowds bail on him when he gets close to the hour mark in his incoherant rambles. This time the crowd couldn’t even stick with Trump for a half an hour.
A more savvy candidate would notice his crowd getting bored and leaving and tighten up their speech to get it over with faster, or start giving shorter remarks to keep the crowd from heading to the parking lot, but Donald Trump is not smart. These speeches aren’t for the crowd. Trump isn’t giving anything to the audience. He is taking from the crowd to fill his endless need for love and affection.
Trump’s events have been low energy throughout the entire campaign.
The problem is that Donald Trump has gone from low energy to flat out boring, and people aren’t sticking around anymore.
