I'm on my second bottle of wine this weekend. I bet I'm having a lot more fun than those fuckers at either the Trump rally or the protests, and all I'm doing is watching frankly quite hilarious cat videos on YouTube. Much smaller chance of contracting Covid, and furthermore I don't have to listen to Donald Trump or wonder why people keep mis-spelling 'racist'.
I know, I know, I should be reading Schopenhauer or something, but fuck, Mr. Tibbles accidentally falling in the toilet is a lot more inspiring.

@xenon you made me go onto YouTube and watch some of it, he is totally in his element. It’s actually very entertaining. Almost reminds me of WWE (wrestling) speeches.
Also not a surprise that some black Trump supporters coincidentally got seats directly behind him for the TV angles.

Made a slight change to your statement. LOL

Trump campaign blames protesters for disappointing turnout at Tulsa rally https://www.politico.com/news/2020/06/20/trump-rally-tulsa-coronavirus-reset-2020-campaign-330248
There is always someone else to blame.
Is that your big take away? Was that your observation? I watched the first hour and the crowd look very large and enthusiastic.

Some numbers:
" ... a tally taken by the fire marshal clocked the turnout at just under 6,200 people"
Of course, that's still 6,200 more than Mr. Biden's non-rally.

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.

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.

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.
