The democrats and Project Lincoln are proclaiming the Tulsa rally as a huge loss. “The bumbling President is laid bare...”
But I’m not sure what they are seeing.
Teenagers (who cannot vote) scooped up hundreds of tickets, depriving those who wanted to go of the opportunity. Those teenagers, then of course, didn’t show so the upper deck of the stadium was empty. But what did the teens actually accomplish?
Attendance at a rally means nothing to voting behavior. If anything, someone deprived of a ticket by a selfish, immature teenie-baby would be MORE motivated to vote for Trump.
What am I missing?

It just feeds the stereotype that those on the left want to control people (getting tickets in order to stop others from attending) while those on the right just want to be left alone.
Has there every been any type of Democratic or left leaning gathering where those on the right pulled this crap in order to try to disrupt the event?

What you're both missing is the fact that they sold 1 million tickets to a venue that holds what....18,000 people? They weren't expecting a million people to show up but what they did get in attendance was far below their expectations. Teenagers didn't trash this event, trump supporters didn't show up for whatever reason, and that has the trump campaign a little worried. If they can't fill a venue in solidly red Oklahoma, what does this portend for his future rallies? We'll see.

By looking at these is there any wonder the media and the children on the left are trying to spin the Trump attendee narrative ways from the Biden....
Seriously, these are real from Bidens event last week......,

You're right of course...we should be talking about Biden in this thread titled "The Trump Campaign"...talk about spin. ROFL.

I’ve noticed some snowflakes feigning outrage at those attending the Trump rally on Saturday weren’t wearing masks.
I DID get to attend a local Trump rally back in 2016. Of course, I might have just missed it, but I do not recall a single mask at that rally: Not one outside in the line, not one inside the hangar (he arrived in his Jet and walked down the ramp right onto the stage). I mean, it was right in the midst of cold and flu season, but apparently no one was concerned about spreading their germs.
another thing I recall, or rather don’t recall: No article, no report that I read during that time was about flu cases on the increase or “spiking” after his rallies. Flu, as I recall, was life threatening to people in high risk groups: Wouldn’t you expect masks on everyone and reports of spikes in flu cases?
🤔

Hmm...it seems no one here has an answer as to why the trump campaign failed to fill his speaking venue in Tulsa. Any guesses?

Hmm...it seems no one here has an answer as to why the trump campaign failed to fill his speaking venue in Tulsa. Wrong. There are a couple of reasons: 1) The successful trolling by many on the left to request tickets & then not go. It created an image for many who wanted to go that trying to get tickets and actually going would be unsuccessful, so they didn't try; 2) The media talked up rumors of conflict by groups protesting, making it seem as if it would be dangerous to go; 3) The continued fear-mongering that Covid19 was going to leap out and kill everyone who attended the rally; 4) It was on TV. Attendance in person for events is always lower if the event is also televised. Now, do you have an answer as to why folks on the left are so preoccupied with what others do that they feel the need to try to undermine it? Why does the left have such control issues?? The lefts actions towards this rally showed why they are in favor of mail-in-ballots, it gives them an opportunity to game the system.

I watched the rally, because I really thought he'd be on fire, and let the Left have it. Hopefully get his reelection campaign back on track and off to a great start. I have to say I was really disappointed in his speech. Not much to get excited about. All the time he spent about his day at West Point was not what we wanted to hear.
The Dems and the Left have spent the last couple months trying to destroy our country. Please Mr. President, tell me what you're going to do about it!!!!!

Tickets are requested and reserved, not sold. What an idiot. RSM is right, no tickets were sold, moron. But they did not even give away a million tickets. Once you learn to read, you will understand they had over a million REQUESTS for tickets, which was why they wanted to give out tickets in the first place... because the one thing you got right is the size of the venue which they knew would be overwhelmed. so congratulations on getting one thing right. I guess it is true: Give a monkey a typewriter and enough time, eventually he will make a real word.

And no, I have no idea why you believe what you do about "the left". I suspect it's just intellectual laziness on your part but that's just a suspicion.

Perhaps some psychological counseling could help you with your problem.

And no, I have no idea why you believe what you do about "the left". I suspect it's just intellectual laziness on your part but that's just a suspicion. I have no idea of whether or not they tried to reserve tickets, I was just answering your question. It is human nature that when you learn an event is going to be full that your expectation to be able to get in yourself will diminish. You have been holed up in your apartment, wearing a mask and staying away from people for months. Does that make you a snowflake or in your mind does that just apply to Trump supporters? This reserving of and then not using tickets by the left was a prime example about their control issues, yet you claim it is just something I believe. Your deduction of those facts shows that the intellectual laziness is actually on your part, if there is any intellect at all there to deal with.

Interesting that you love to post on subjects while making glaring errors and then refuse to retract or even acknowledge said errors. Perhaps some humility could help you with your problem.
