Sour grapes.
The rally was entertaining and a success. I'm sure Trump would have liked a packed house, but times are what they are.
Can anyone even imagine The Dementia Patient pumping up a crowd like that?

No, but he’s leading a broad-based political movement, not a cult.
Trump drew much larger crowds than Hillary and still got fewer votes. Bernie drew bigger crowds than Biden (and Hillary) and still came up short on the voting.
Crowds just aren’t a great metric. Or at least not a reliable one.

People may vote against Trump, but they ain't voting for Biden.

That depends on how much they are paid.

No, there are millions who will vote for Trump. There is a definite enthusiasm gap.

Agree, but also millions who will vote for President Trump because they do not like the alternate.
@Mik (I apologize if I am remember wrong) I think said something like, "I will hold my nose and vote for President Trump". And I am sure he is not alone.
At the end of the day, it does not matter your reason behind your vote, what only matters is how you voted.

Hell, I went to pick up my Peach Truck order this morning, looked at the situation and split. Chaos, no real distancing, few masks, hundreds or thousands of people. This is in one of the zip codes that are on the way up, so I suspect many infections will result.
Bummed out about the peaches (they really are fantastic) but I don't like them THAT much. I sent them and email and they promptly refunded my money, which was actually quite nice of them. I expected they might not.

I will vote, but truthfully I have not decided how yet. Sadly the libertarians aren't running anybody good this year. Trump's lack of leadership lately is concerning to me. He seems to be floundering.

"The sources said that Parscale, reading the tea leaves, is planning to step down. “He knows he can’t survive,” one source told me."
Ha! Did I call it or what??? I knew we should've had a TNCR office pool!

Wait wait wait - this event was a success. I read that here.
And the reporting about Trump being livid came from ABC - it can only be fake.

I think it was a success. Eight million viewers ain't bad. I think Trump on offense is better than Trump on defense, and Trump was having fun flaying The Senile Patient.
No, the crowd wasn't as large as hoped. Virus, you know.

What makes more sense is that people stayed away for more than one reason:
- Virus
- Fear of protesters
- Unrealistic estimate of needed capacity; there was never going to be 20,000
- Clearing the White House protesters and the Bible stunt turned people off
- Enthusiasm for Trump diminishing from 2016
- Why bother if Biden is going to win

Well, at least the lackluster turnout is a good answer to all those idiots who say that Trump is like Hitler.

Except the 8 million who watched it on TV. Seems like one way or another the turnout was as predicted.

Come on, that's pretty feeble. It takes no effort to turn on the TV and watch it, even while doing other things. You can't call that showing support. And you can't call it a 'turnout'.

Hard to say now that people are tiring of Trump with those numbers on the board. Ask an expert. Also turnout was likely tamped by Covid concerns, so they turned on the TV instead.
Oh and if you think turning on the TV is a nothing burger think about sports.

It takes a lot less effort -- and a lot less enthusiasm -- to turn on the TV than to pack up the Igloo and schlep to the venue. People whose enthusiasm ranges from lukewarm to zero will watch him on TV; you can't count it as support for Trump.

OK, sorry, he is like Hitler after all.
