Bullcorn. When I was coaching HS baseball and we won a squeaker that should’ve been a blowout, I railed on my kids, telling them that if they’d have been playing arch-rival __________, they’d have had their asses handed to them.
This same kind of reporting would’ve headlined “Local HS Coach to Shake Up Lineup Following Debacle Win”.
Tulsa, like the nationwide re-openings, represents a populace sticking its collective toe in the water. Next outing will look more like ankle-deep, then knee-deep, waist-deep and finally back to doing the backstroke again. Tulsa was a bold foray into a strong headwind.
So, 6200 claimed as attending by the Fire Marshall while the count of those passing thru the metal detector is over 12,000? It seems one is an estimate while the other is an actual tabulation. Why is the “guess” reported as fact?
There were and there continue to be China Virus warnings and along with that warnings of violence so it is not a surprise many chose the safety of their homes where they can (and did) watch the president.
AS for the polls? They may in fact be true as far as the demographic numbers used. If a pollster uses an oversampling of one group over another than the results will necessarily skew towards that group.
For some reason many here (some likely trolls despite being long time registrants) love to report stories like this and they all follow the same form. References are made ti “insiders” who all seem to have the magical ability to read the mind of the President and assess his feelings.
A rally is to pump up enthusiasm and spread the message to as many as possible. Well it seems as if the President has reached over 10 MILLION people with his speech and yet many claim the Rally was a flop?
I personally have never attended a Trump Rally but I have watched all of them and I promise you each time I do I am both enthused and uplifted by the President.
The mistake made was by making a big deal over the requests even though they probably were accurate and then playing up the expected attendance. It is always better to under promise and over perform than the opposite.
I don’t think any harm was done in the long term and it still remains that his Rally was seen by millions and millions of people. How many have viewed Bidens “Rally’s”? Do we have any numbers? Is it not weird the media makes such a big deal over Trumps “low turnout” without also comparing it with Biden’s literally non existent turnout? Not really and the question was rhetorical in any case.
I agree. Bad date. Someone who was there in line with tickets said they were prevented from entering due to several things told to them had happened”
1) Temperature takers left early so no one could enter after they left.
2) Security was told that stadium owner told them the stadium was a max capacity but it wasn’t.
3) It was hard to find the entrance gates and they had to wander around and ask people and then was directed to one of the gates that happened to be shut down due to no temperature takers.
They said poor signs, directions showing where all the gates were was major.
I wished the President had focused more on history of the Republican party vs. Dem Party. How Repubs were first to appoint black reps, how we voted vs. dems, like Jim Crowe and other amendments. How few dems voted for the civil rights act.
But he talked about ramp incident, drinking glass of water with two hands; how he got the price down for Air Force 1 from 5M to 3 million range, etc.
I wish he would invite the Black Republican party to speak at his rallies.
Just so much he could have talked about with what is going on with the ANITFA, tearing down statues, etc.
He didn’t mention they didn’t tear down Lenin’s statue in Seattle, haven’t removed Senator Byrd who was a KKK member, etc.
Our messaging and what we did for black american’s over our history never gets out in force, with repetition.
The Rove crowd is *desperate* to get rid of the extremely effective Parscale.
One would need to dig into the campaign staffers deeply to see who noised about the 1 million ticket requests number: recall too that if a million people requested tickets for a 19,000 seat venue...and then the Governor called a curfew two days before, and there were bussed-in rioters keeping attendees from being able to reach the screeners before being let in — this reeks of “all stops pulled out” dirty tricks: and all they could do was have half the upper deck empty.
Compare that to the over-the-top enthusiasm (by the press) at Biden’s Bargain Basement Remnants.
10 million plus viewers is a flop?
Guy (the Gay) Benson has hated Trump from Day One.
I don’t believe any of this. Over the past 3 years Trump has used cheese in the maze “Jared & Ivanka vs Bannon,” *Jared and Ivanka vs Parscale” to distract from genuine forward movement on policy issues.
You've hit on something. I'd love to ask Kellyanne when she's going to leave that HINO of hers.
There is also still the impression of the BLM/Antifa goons roaming the streets in the larger cities. People may have stayed away for fear of clashing with, or getting caught between the police and those hoodlums too.
Often if 'a source' won't go on the record it means it's the lefty one desk over in a newsroom making a guess...
There is a cancer on the Presidency.
And that may have kept those with health issues away, because they don’t want to take the risk that might prevent them from casting their vote for President Trump. But the reality is millions tuned in to watch the rally on the internet, as well as, broadcasts of it on TV.
They would love the President Trump to dump Brad. He is one of the most valuable assets Trump has, but he needs additional help because this is going to be a particularly ugly fight.
I watched along with the silent majority and , i will remain silent and keep giving this country the love i’ve been commanded to give it.
Dems did their own Operation Chaos. They requested tickets with no plans to show.
Thus, as in all things, the Party of Satan got it’s way.
You must have read a different article:
News emerged that a half-dozen advance staffers had tested positive for coronavirus, a revelation that angered the president ahead of his departure for Oklahoma and further amplified fears that the event could spread the disease.
No mention of the record numbers who tuned in on TV and streaming. FOX News had its largest number of viewers in its history.
I don’t accept the premise of this article that it was a massive disappointment — that’s the line from the Left. It was an enormous social media success, which is the more important fact from this event.
More BS from Never Trumpers Gay Benson and crazy Jim with CNN
sources .
I will pass .
I thought he was also. This is the biggest hit piece yet.
Don’t believe a word of this crap.
But where are the media talking about Biden's low attraction numbers? Hmmmmmmm?
