While I hate to admit it, this reasoning is flawed. People who show up to rallies are generally the more fervent supporters. However, even people who are not fervent about a candidate (and hence don't attend rallies) can vote for that candidate. This is not to say that we aren't being lied to and that there is no fraud occurring, but crowd comparisons aren't necessarily an indication of it.
Thank you. As much as I hate Killary, face it the kind of people who support her are not the kind to show up at rallies. They are the lazy who just want the gibs or who just want to virtue signal their support for xyz online and the most effort they can make is to vote.
