Maybe it had something to do with the Tulsa/OK health dept?

Maybe a competent campaign working with a friendly governor and mayor could have figured out how to screen enough people to fill the arena.

Just doing a rough glance at analytics of typical channels streaming Trump’s rally and the live viewers are INSANE. 3-4x higher than any rally I’ve seen.

Oh, good...when do YOU start taking over, as Trump campaign manager, Mr/Ms Perfect?

The campaign obviously needs your ‘competence’ to get through this election.

I’m ready now if they pay me what Parscale’s pulled out of the operation.

LOL...yeah, sure.

Again...I’m sure they’d give anything for your ‘expertise’ and ‘competence’.

Troll elsewhere.

One feels prompted to ask “why are there only a couple of still photos and no video of this event available ?”

From what heard, the venue or the RINO city government closed the upper balcony, due to the Wuhan flu. We still aren’t allowed to have full stores, public venues, etc.

There is no cost to the tickets. There is no money involved at all But perhaps there should be in order to keep at least some of the disrupters from requesting tickets.

I think you have a good idea. Some low level cost before you get the ticket. Don’t make it so easy for troublemakers to sabotage your event.

But you know what? If this is the biggest issue with today’s rally, I’m fine with that. Trumps Team will learn from this rally how to avoid it the next time.

I was more concerned that there would be widespread violence from the intolerant ones. So far, it’s not happening in any huge sense.

Does the media matter if a person hurs it out of their life?
I have no problem turning off the anti Trump Googleverse.

This was a perfect outcome if you ask me.

Just think of all the negative scenarios that didn’t unfold.

There could have been riots, looting and arson long into the night.
People could have been badly hurt or killed.
BLM and Antifa could have instigated another police brutality allegation.
The event could have been cancelled or interrupted.
President Trump could have been whisked away by secrets service.
POTUS could have given a poor performance (unlikely, I know).
Trump supporters could have been provoked to violence.

Against all odds, none of those things happened and we are talking about attendance. The big story is that Trump’s rally was only “super amazing“ rather than “super duper amazing“.

Meanwhile, the whole nation got to witness tens of thousands of peaceful, well-behaved Trump supporters in stark contrast with the lawless brutality and destruction displayed by anti-Trump factions in recent weeks.

I think President Trump got his point across perfectly.

I am so relieved and happy - this icebreaker rally went so well that all anyone is talking about is whether Trump got 19,000 or 15,000 attendees.

Winning.

Well said. I turn off the tv as soon as a rally, news conference, round table etc is over. I do not care about the opinions of anyone on TV. They may not have even watched the entirety anyway. Some members of the White House press corps appear not to even listen to previous answers during press conferences.Talking points is what they focus on.

The rally was terrific. I look forward to many more.

Yep - and they started “reporting” a 2/3 full place a couple hours before it started...We watched the last hour and not one camera panned the place so I’m guessing it ended up full.

Some of the most beautiful words ever spoken!

“THESE are the times that try men’s souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated.” ~ Thomas Paine

I’m surprised that even these photos got out to be distributed across America.

Let me straighten out the “ticket” situation.

Anybody that signs up to go gets a ticket. There is no limit on tickets, so nobody was keeping a ticket from someone else. When I went to a rally in 2017, we didn’t even have to show our ticket to get in (may have changed since then).

They gave out (they are FREE) over 1 million tickets to this event, but the venue only holds 17,000. Do you think that they expected 1 million people to show up? Of course not.

What really messed with the crowd was the gang of street thugs blocking entrances and threatening families that wanted to get in to see the rally. If the people standing in line were all armed and angry like me, they would all have gotten in (except they wouldn’t get in armed because the SS carefully screens every person before entry).
