K-Pop success of sabotage will have started something

[mysteryowl]

that won't end. All trump rally's will be sabotaged from now on.

[Cirque du So-What]

1. Even legitimate requests

will be viewed by a cynical eye from now on.

[mysteryowl]

6. They won't be able to trust any future tickets obtained.

[Alex4Martinez]

2. People just didn't show up, Trump continued to send emails, ask people to come

The K-pop effort didn't have an actual impact on attendance because the campaign didn't turn anyone away and, in fact, continued asking people to come.

4. Thanks for this comment.

I wondered about that. I guess since they did not put a cap on the # of tickets.

7. I wondered about that

Seems to me even his idiot cult members might have listened to the warnings about getting the virus.

8. This is a very germane point, and I'm glad you're bringing it up. The kids didn't change anything

except getting trump's hopes up. His "people", his "fans" just didn't show up.

[mucifer]

15. Yes, that's actually huge it all depends on how many fake requests were made

If it was 2000 then not a big deal. If it was 100,000 that would blow their minds when no one shows up

[BComplex]

17. Even if it was a million fake requests, they were still advertising to try to bring in more people.

They might have thought they already had 1,000,000, but they were still asking for MORE. That's the point. "More" didn't give a shit. Only 6200 people came, no matter how many more tickets they were willing to sell.

The kids punked them on getting their hopes up that a lot of people would show, but there were still millions of more tickets to sell, because they never stopped ticket sales.

Just nobody showed up.

18. The problem is something stupid like "the Dean scream" kills our candidates. But for trump it's just

another day...

10. Did you order a fake ticket?

I think most of these RSVPs are mostly data hauls.

Trump was stupid to announce that 800,000 were going to physically attend.


Does he not understand campaigns? This happened in 2016...but I didn't pay attention to any of his pre-rally announcements. Parscale used these RSVPs to generate ads, calls ad nauseum. (I'm still paying for trolling a 2017 survey)

[Alex4Martinez]

24. Yes i did, now getting hilarious texts and email ads for Viagra...

Miracle cures, investment advice, push polls.
I’ll need to post an OP with samples.

[LeftInTX]

25. I posted a screenshot of my email inbox

I trolled Trump and it has haunted me. The RNC is constantly calling my house too!!!

[Laelth]

3. At this point, they can't trust their own data.

They’re screwn.

5. The power of teenagers!

[crickets]

22. Yep. The larger the false data haul, the less likely it is to sift out anything genuine or useful.

Gee, I hope they didn't dump it all into the master database yet. 😏

9. They didn't sabotage the rally; they sabotaged Parscale's attendance prediction.

All of the people who wanted to go were able to go. But there was no limit on the number of tickets you could sign up for online. The purpose of doing online ticket requests was to harvest email addresses for fundraising, and if a million K-Poppers signed up that didn't prevent anybody from attending because there were no reserved seats (which is why a bunch of morons camped out overnight - as it happened, they didn't have to do that). If a million people had showed up, obviously only the first 19,000 would have been let in.

What the fake ticket requests really did was cause the campaign to brag about what they expected to be huge turnout - the sabotage was not of the rally attendance because only 6200 people wanted to be there in the first place, but of the expectation of a huge turnout. This made the actual turnout look even more pathetic than it would have if Parscale and Trump hadn't bragged about the expected million fans. The moral of the story is, either don't use rally tickets as a way to harvest data, or if you do, don't brag about the numbers and risk ending up with aa shit ton of egg on your face.

11. Hey, but now Parscale is stuck with some bad data!!!

Call everyone and verify LOL

I need to troll his next event, but I need a get a junk email address. Wish I had burner phone...LOL

[Generic Brad]

19. There's always the White House switchboard number

As for email addresses, just make one up and add "@gmail.com" to it.

[LeftInTX]

21. They verified phone numbers/emails

prior to issuing tickets.

According to the Tik Tok video.

[ahimsa]

12. It might have had an indirect effect

If a lot of people who might have gone chose not to go because the apparent odds of getting in appeared astronomical.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

13. That's true. If I'd heard that a million people were going to show up

at an event I was interested in I would be disinclined to deal with that kind of traffic. Of course that was absurd in the first place, and I wonder if any but the most brain-dead Trumpers ever even believed it - the entire population of Tulsa is about 400,000.

[mucifer]

16. yup and it just makes trump look weak. they hate that

[stillcool]

14. how could they not know people weren't showing up?

they could count the ones outside, they could judge by the hotel rooms. Kind of hard to be missing 90,000 people and not have a clue.

[Generic Brad]

20. That would require intelligence

That is something the executive branch is short of in more ways than one these days.

[crickets]

23. A few phone calls about hotel availability would have cleared up any false hopes quickly.

Too bad it didn't occur to them to check. I'd say it's strange news media didn't bother to check either, but...

[LeftInTX]

26. It was all about the data

Trump made it about the "Really big show"
