(83,751 posts)They must have planned to pipe Donnie in from the rally.
Donnie was going to speak outside to the overflow before going inside.

(15,084 posts)I doubt there will be that many people inside either.
Sucks to be you, Donnie!!

Better go buy that other yacht now, Brad. The money train ain't gonna last for ever!

(15,084 posts)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.

(15,084 posts)Donnie gets his news coverage. And he also has to see the embarrassment footage of a nearly empty arena.
Works for me.

(64,931 posts)But they are too fucking stupid to do that!
Squinch
(50,949 posts)Imagine the moment when all the ones there start thinking, "But WHY is no one here? Is something going on? Is there a reason they're staying away??... ooooh... "

(65,013 posts)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".
Squinch
(50,949 posts)to get enough even to fill half that arena.
I hate that Donny Bodybags makes me someone who gets satisfaction from that.
ProfessorGAC
(65,013 posts)...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.
Squinch
(50,949 posts)(Ok, ok. AND for the sake of my schadenfreude.)
ProfessorGAC
(65,013 posts)I'd love to gloat, too.
But, not just yet.
Squinch
(50,949 posts)Then I can feel the satisfaction all over again in an hour.
ProfessorGAC
(65,013 posts)Now, we can gloat!!!
Squinch
(50,949 posts)I'm enjoying it way too much.

(38,601 posts)With fewer peeps.
Hell, he can claim they turned away the sick, thats why the low number. I dont mind at all.

(15,805 posts)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.
