I imagine the majority went there to sit on their hands.
It was only the ones planted in the front row who clapped and they didn’t get any help from the others.
“silence”
“crickets”
“nothing”
I watched some of it on TV and they were bored out of their noggins, lol, plus they know he lies. We’ve all seen ‘rapt’ audiences, but this audience was ‘in motion’, shifting, looking around, whispering, and one lady was rolling her head around to exercise her neck - I guess.
It was funny to watch their ‘clapps’ as they seemed slow motion - and an effort. Obama has a mean look anymore and you can tell he doesn’t want to be doing what he’s doing.
