Trump’s Tulsa Rally Fizzles as Seats Go Empty
NYT ^ | June 21, 2020 | Michael D. Shear, Maggie Haberman and Astead W. Herndon

TULSA, Okla. — President Trump’s attempt to revive his re-election campaign sputtered badly on Saturday night as he traveled to Tulsa for his first mass rally in months and found a far smaller crowd than his aides had promised him, then delivered a disjointed speech that did not address the multiple crises facing the nation or scandals battering him in Washington.

The weakness of Mr. Trump’s drawing power and political skills, in a state that voted for him overwhelmingly and in a format that he favors, raised new questions about his electoral prospects for a second term at a time when his poll numbers were already falling. And rather than speak to the wide cross-section of Americans who say they are concerned about police violence and systemic racism, he continued to use racist language, describing the coronavirus as “Kung Flu.”

the 19,000-seat BOK Center was at least one-third empty during the rally.

IN OTHER MSM NEWS——Bidden’s “rally” was an outstanding success——four people attended.


Steve Bannon suggested Biden needs to do a regularly scheduled “proof of life” podcast.........
just to reassure nervous Democrats setting up the 2020 voter fraud operation.

Heck, Democrats have already done the impossible.......getting dead people to vote.

So it would be an historic first if Dems had a dead person who was an actual candidate

This way they could eulogize and inaugurate Biden at the same time......rotflol.

Simple solution per my prior post is funnel all ticket requests thru the Trump campaign app.

Tik Tok kiddies won’t go there. And if they do the campaign will know who downloaded.

Conservatives tend to be more circumspect than leftist rioters about COVID exposure in dense crowds.

What are the chances that the current spike in COVID cases following the riots is mere coincidence?

How large have all of the recent Biden rallies been? Were they secret rallies?

88 million figure is wrong. No evidence supporting that.

Stuff popped up on my FB feed before I figured out how to turn off autoplay videos.

I can’t get them out of my head and possibly never will.

FYI ZagFan’s account was created in 2015 in the middle of the last campaign.

Take that for what you will.

>>The four of us watched on RSBN. We also sent them a donation<<

Thanks for the reminder, It's time for me do the same.

What TikTok, AoC,and the NYT. have failed to glean is that millions of us watched on television and LOVED it. His rather long story about the FakeNews coverage of his West Point speech was hilarious -- we're reminded about how fearless he is and why we love him so much.

Btw, after the Tulsa speech, Greg Guttfeld's show with Charlie Kirk and that redhead who despises Juan Williams doing a recap and showing highlights was great "dessert."

Oh, TikTok, your "cuteness" has energized me to double my contribution.

>>>Demoncrat kids on Tik Tok registered Hundreds of THOUSANDS of tickets

With over a million ticket requests, it appears many Trump supporters also requested tickets with no intention of going.

But you can’t get a ticket without a valid email address. They send the ticket to the email address. I know because I have attended a Trump rally.

Just the announcement of the 800K number deterred a lot from even asking.

And were they astute enough to cancel a ticket if the email bounced? I doubt it.

Biden ... wants all the negative media coverage on Trump, so he can sneak into the White House, without doing much

He's a surrogate for Rosemary's Baby.

Size matters..? Lol! I’m thinking of Biden’s latest campaign stop. And George Costanza. Let’s just call it Joe’s “SHRINKAGE TOUR”.

Actually, when you consider
*ticket fraud by the leftists
*rioters preventing people from getting in
*the China Virus
*the mayor’s edict a couple of nights earlier that forced ALL those people who had waited days out of line-—which meant (to them) they might not get in at all

I think it was pretty successful.

This was a very good dry run for the upcoming rallies. It was necessary, a sort of Dieppe before Normandy. Parscale will get the work-arounds and the next one will be full.

If I could be guaranteed of actually getting in, I would attend. I went to Columbus in 2015 and got in. I went to Phoenix in 2017 or 2018 and couldn’t get in. I stood in line for over an hour (we were late cuz the person I went with couldn’t get off work), and was about # 1,000 in line. I counted about 2,000 in line behind me. Well, this plays into people’s plans. No one wants to stand in the AZ sun for 3-4 hours and not get in.

That whole bit was 20 minutes very well spent. We loved his ability to be in the absolute most serious position imaginable and yet able to be very self-deprecating in front of millions.

Something absolutely no leftist could ever do.

600 Times!!

In that regard, I agree wit you. The same for the curfew on/ curfew off stuff. I’m sure it was off putting.

Because the left is crowing about underhanded tactics they used, it exposed them to the work for the hucksters and cheaters that they are.

The stats will never say that because attending a protest is the one thing they leave off the questionnaire when you go for your CoVid test.
