2. Visibility.

6. The photo op is paramount.

In close camera angles as Fux Gnuz will deliver and no pan the room shots. The place will look crowded so trDumpie can brag about the astounding attendance.

No camera shots of empty seats allowed.

Propaganda 101- at all costs perceptions must be fully controlled and managed.

4. I just saw a few more pack in behind Pence. You know they want that space packed.
