6. Here's the truth: His followers won't do it.

They simply won't. They'll cheer, but they won't go into those heavily Democratic neighborhoods and raise a ruckus. They're frightened little people, who are only tough in their own minds.

They know they can't do what Trump is suggesting, and they won't even try. A few might, and will find themselves ejected from the premises or arrested and put in the back seat of a patrol car.

Trump's full of shit if he thinks his supporters are going to go out and change the election. They won't. They simply won't. They couldn't, even if they tried. Instead, they'll stay in their little neighborhoods and hold up a sign outside of their own polling place. That's all they'll do.
