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.

It was Fox’s most watched event ever. If that doesn’t move you I give up.

If you chaps had any decent sport, you wouldn't have to watch this shit.
1.9 billion people watch Formula 1.
Hell, on a good day 10 million watch Doctor Who in Britain alone.

In the first place, Fox is Trump's wingman; maybe it was the most watched and maybe it wasn't.
Secondly, what does 'watching' mean? Was it 'watching' versus 'had the TV turned on'?
I think poll demographers would have to do interviews of the TV watchers to get any kind of an idea of how watching him on TV will directly translate to the voting booth.

It was already predetermined before the Oklahoma rally started that it would be spun as being a disaster, low turnout, etc. You see, the Left has tried to destroy the man from the day he first announced he was running for the office. They hate him with a passion, for xe eral reason.. they had put a black man in the White House, and they didnt do it because he was a good leader, they did it because he was black. They wanted to follow that "first" up with another one - a woman. They didnt care that she was corrupt to the core, she was a woman. Trump denied them this back to back "first", a goal they wanted to achieve more than they cared about the country. Next, they heavily invested in a mocking of Trump, saying he couldn't possibly win. The proof that the Left doesn't give a damn about the country is evident every direction you look today, not the least of which is by looking at the senile empty suit they are supporting today. They only care about power. If they have to destroy the nation to get it, so be it. Because they just flat do not care.
BUT that's politics. What really bothers me is watching normally intelligent people fall for it, participate in it, apparently incapable of seeing what's really happening and who is causing it, and like a herd of sheep buying into it. That's sad.
Trump had a rally. Thousands of people showed up in spite of a deadly virus and the possibility of violence and physical harm from Leftists currently engaged in destroying the nation. Joe Biden hand picks 20 people to sit through a Biden "rally". They struggled to stay awake. Yet the media doesn't report that, they spend all their time telling you Trumps rally was a disaster.
And some of you don't have sense enough to figure it out, and become sheep.
Jesus. Stupid is just oozing.

It's all very reminiscent of the late 60's and early 70's. Protests... riots, looting, destruction.
The Silent Majority is watching and listening this time too. While the left is trying so hard to erase history, it would do them well to understand they are repeating it.
And I believe they will be met with the same result as back then. A landslide victory up and down the ticket for repub's. Not because they are so great, but because the Silent Majority is coming (again) to understand that the left is that bad.

Fake news! Biden speaks only from his basement.

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

- Probably

- Not necessarily. The ticket requests were very high.
- This is Tulsa. People in Oklahoma don't give a damn about protesters in Washington. If anything, the Bible helped.
- Maybe. But look at how many people The Dementia Patient had at his rally. 20. Handpicked.
- Still early. Very early.

Not necessarily. The ticket requests were very high . . .I wasn't listing these because they were true, but as what the rallygoers themselves thought.

Dozens of Secret Service officers and agents told to self-quarantine after Trump’s Tulsa rally
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/dozens-of-secret-service-officers-and-agents-told-to-self-quarantine-after-trumps-tulsa-rally/2020/06/24/22c08b36-b55f-11ea-aca5-ebb63d27e1ff_story.html‘ Dozens of Secret Service officers and agents who were on site for President Trump’s rally in Tulsa last week were ordered to self-quarantine after two of their colleagues tested positive for the novel coronavirus, part of the fallout from Trump’s insistence on holding the mass gathering over the objections of public health officials.
The Secret Service instructed employees who worked the Tulsa event to stay at home for 14 days when they returned from the weekend trip, according to two people familiar with the agency’s decision.

All of President Donald Trump's campaign staffers who attended his rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on Saturday are quarantining this week after interacting with several colleagues who later tested positive for coronavirus, CNN has learned.
"As a precaution staff who made the trip to Tulsa are working remotely, and they will be tested and return working to the office after that," said Tim Murtaugh, communications director for the Trump campaign, in a call with reporters.
After eight staffers tested positive, several of the campaign's top officials decided to quarantine for the week instead of going into the office, two sources familiar with the situation told CNN. Staff had only recently returned to the office after months of working from home because of coronavirus restrictions.
White House staff who attended the rally are continuing work as usual and are routinely tested.
