I hope all BLM folks and other dems do stay home.

So:

Low turnout? Check

No Overflow crowd? Check

No "violent thug" protesters? Check

All good.

I just wish MSM wasn't filming in real time. Stick a camera in there and show a clip or two on the evening news.

Donnie gets his news coverage. And he also has to see the embarrassment footage of a nearly empty arena.

Works for me.

Remember, this is a cult of personality.
Many people attending don't care a whit about the other speakers including mother's boy.
A bunch may just be planning to get there in time to see the "Leader".

...I doubt it would be a big issue to plan getting there and seated by 6:30.
Especially since some % of their population would be smart enough to stay as far from the circus as possible.
A solid reason to adhere to stay at home
I'm guessing close enough to capacity that we won't have the modest lies they'll tell to mock.

waiting in the overflow area. There were still plenty of seats inside the area so everyone who wanted to could get in. The place looked maybe only half full.

Lots of older men in the audience, 50 and above, overweight, red faced and struggling to climb steps. Did not see one person wearing a mask. No social distancing at all. CNN interviews revealed these ignoramuses have lots of misinformation about the corona virus that could very likely get them in an ICU or dead. They take no responsibility for their actions.

A raised dias ( 6 ft?) had been built for Trump under a shady area in the overflow area. It had a lectern and was completely enclosed by clear panels to protect Trump from his diseased fans. Evidently he was supposed to com out and entertain the millions who were waiting out in the sweltering heat to see their demigod.

Hope they hired enough paid actors to fill in all those empty seats in the arena.
