The Guardian lies. It wasn’t packed. The interwebs has pictures of many sections “blacked out” to make it look more full.

There were a lot of people there for a Demon Rat party event, don’t get me wrong, but it wasn’t packed.

One interweb guy supposedly did some electronic tracking of cell phone data and found lots of the signatures came from individuals that are normally far far away from the site of the rally...which, if true, means people were coming from other sites to “fill up” the room.

I have heard this is true but have not seen the pictures. Very careful staging.

There are Trump rally attendees with three or four hour drives. One guy was explaining, on Twitter, why he had to leave the Montana Trump rally early, because it was delayed for hours due to engine problems. As it was, he got home at 2:30 AM. Rallies attract zealots, the political equivalent of Deadheads. That’s why big rallies aren’t just expensive, they’re pointless. I hope Harris does more of them, and Trump does less. That cash would be better spent hiring people to get out the vote. That’s the only rally that matters - the one that directly fills ballot boxes.
