The Trump Rally

The President held a rally in Oklahoma last night. There had been 100,000 ticket requests, but it turned out that a group of opponents organized phony ticket requests to try to create empty seats. They succeeded so that Trump drew “only” about 10,000 people into the arena.

It’s amazing to me. Earlier this week Joe Biden held an event and he couldn’t even draw twenty people. Most of those who came were media. There was almost no mention of this in the media. Trump draws 10,000 in the face of an organized dirty trick to keep people away and the media treats it like he failed in a major way.

I don’t really care how many people show up to these rallies except as they indicate some sort of trend. Biden’s flopped rally was an actual indicator of a total lack of enthusiasm. Trump’s not so much.

Let’s see where this goes next.
