Donald Trump claimed Republicans were coming out in unusually strong numbers for voting early this year. He then asked the audience how many of them had voted early and only a small minority of hands in the crowd appeared to go up. Trump appeared displeased by the muted response, and then asked who was going to vote-which elicited a far stronger response and many more hands.
"Republicans like to vote on a thing called election day. The old days we had election days. Today we have election day periods. They go on forever," Trump said. As the Journal has reported, Republicans are embracing the practice of casting their ballots before Election Day more than they have in past election cycles, despite Trump sending mixed signals on the issue.
