"The Airport does not allow political rallies on the airfield, regardless of which candidate requests it. Biden is hosting a small private meeting with about 12 people. This is the difference between a 12-person private meeting inside a building vs. a 20,000-person rally on the airfield, compromising the safety and security of airline operations," said Harold Mester, director of public affairs and marketing for the airport.

12 people. In other words, a typical Biden rally.

One has to ask why do you need to travel anywhere for a 12 person meeting? Why not a Zoom conference call? Maybe because in a Zoom call you can't hand over bags of cash. Perhaps things are being discussed where you want a zero probability of someone leaking a recording of the meeting.

It's reminiscent of the tarmac meeting between Bill Clinton and then AG Loretta Lynch during the 2016 campaign.

Biden knows he's about to be crucified.

"The Airport does not allow political rallies on the airfield, regardless of which candidate requests it because and airport is an inanimate object. The people running the airport are Dems, and so we rejected Trump. Our lie, that Biden is hosting a small private meeting with about 12 people is a noble lie. This is the difference between a 12-person private meeting inside a building vs. a 20,000-person rally on the airfield is what could sway the election to Trump, compromising the safety and security of airline operations plans of the Dems," said Harold Mester, director of public affairs and marketing for the airport.

And the twelve people are:
1) Three representatives from Chinese intelligence
2) Hunter’s defense team lead lawyer
3) One representative from Turkish intelligence
4) Two representatives from Iranian intelligence
5) One representative from the Quds forces
6) One teacher’s union leader
7) Two representatives from GLAAD
8) One person unknown, might be male or female (or any of 55 other categories.

Makes perfect sense to me.

If you want to avoid crowds - hold a Biden rally.

This is so illegal. Prosecute the admin for violating conservatives’ civil rights.

Then you’re ignoring and end up supporting liberals in power violating conservatives’ civil rights.

“8) One person unknown, might be male or female (or any of 55 other categories)”

“It” will provide an update on the status of the Wisconsin Dem. Voter fraud operation.

Parody of Jesus was just too easy.

Biden flying to Milwaukee to meet with twelve people, huh?

I see it differently. This is strictly a media event, rather than a retail political event.

Every time he does one of these, there are TV cameras present--he gives (or tries to give) an impassioned speech in front of some flags or pumpkins or other props. It is broadcast like an important event--the camera almost never focuses on the crowds. And, any narration shrugs off the negligible crowd size as limited by Biden's concern for COVID infection rather than a lack of public enthusiasm.

It's a gamble that a completely virtual campaign broadcast through TV and internet reaches people as well as a retail speech to cheering crowds. For a party that hopes to harvest votes from the marginally interested who wouldn't otherwise be motivated to attend a rally or vote, it might not be such a crazy bet. They're seeing Biden on every channel.

Of course, anyone who thinks that crowds are a measure of enthusiasm thinks this is ridiculous and ineffective. I find it ridiculous, but I'm not sure that it is ineffective.

Of course, if the media weren't so in the bag for the DNC, they wouldn't give these "events" coverage, and they'd be useless. But the MSM is playing their part here.
