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.

some have been posting on FR 6,000+ figure for attendance. Tulsa World estimates 10,000:

20 Jun: Tulsa World: Tulsa Trump rally coverage: First protester arrested in Tulsa tells her story; Did TikTok users and K-Pop fans inflate ticket numbers?
The Tulsa World estimates that about 10,000 people were inside the BOK Center for today’s rally for President Trump...

..
It shouldn’t be hard to make a meme with total attendance from actual source sites, and showing # of ticket requests, and on line viewers, and CV19 limitation requirements...then tweet it ad infinitum.

Don’t believe the AOC assertion about tricking the Trump campaign. Each request for a ticket must include an email address and a phone number. You can’t download a ticket without it.

Bet the Trump campaign will debunk this alleged dirty trick.

Democrats obtained tickets and didn’t come. This is a fact. The nyt is saying what it desperately wants to be true.

You can create as many fake email addresses as you like. With stuff like Google Voice creating fake phone numbers is easy too (if anyone bothers to call and check). My guess is none of the data entered was validated.

The campaign needs to wake-up and smell the 21st. Century.

Let them push that narrative.

I’d prefer them to be over confident about Biden’s chances. It worked out so well for them in 2016.

Lord, Please, confuse their counsels and cloud their thinking.

PLEASE give us another four years of President Trump. Defeat their attempts at vote fraud, in Your mercy and grace.

Spellchek sabotaged me once again.

It consistently tries to substitute Geico for Fauci.

Poem is not even in context. Some algorithm.

Did they not see that local restrictions kept the attendance capped at 19,000?

The announced attendance was 19,000.

It’s all first come first served, so those fake ticket requests did nothing but give Trump their cell phone numbers and contact info. I think the Democrat kids and adults are more stupid than anything.

The Trump campaign has an app.

Best move for them is to require you to download the app and make your ticket request through that.

This will open a censor-proof communication channel with supporters. It will also collect phone data from downloaders which will allow pranksters to be identified.

Not to mention these basement kiddies would rather catch a scorching case of herpes than have a Trump app on their phone.

Blocking the voting booth? Won’t happen in my precinct. I’m the chief election judge and the local county officials will not allow that crap either.

Ours will be an uneventful but honest election. Period.

The evil radical millionaire Maggie and her co conspirators appear to have plotted this cyber attack with the dnc.
The Slimes had the story because they plotted with them .
Its obvious .
Dumb ass puppet AOC let the cat out of the bag .
Where is the DOJ
This is Rico
act stuff .
BLM and Antifa blocked the main entrance and the street leading there
.
where are the slimes stories on the Attacks on trump supporters .coming and going .
I would not go with my family considering the lack of safety .
If the nation guard is needed then no thanks . Trump team needs more dafe and secure sites including parking and roads .

The outdoor rally last year at the Melbourne Fl was ideal .
No more cities unless in the far out suburbs .

See my prior post. Fake emails and phone numbers are very easy to create in 2020. I can create a Google Voice phone number today and ditch it tomorrow.

I doubt the campaign bothered to validate in any case.

I agree. More research into those requesting tickets. I thought they were doing that all along. What happened here?
