1. Pollsters and influencers

You got some big time 'splaining to do.

[dalton99a]

2. Kick

[spooky3]

3. Those darn edumacated people don't like TFG. Nt

[Grins]

4. Understandable. The well-educated.

The people Republicans want to suppress/hinder their voting in elections.

[wnylib]

9. My thought, too. I heard a lot of whistling and loud cheers.

Could not hear much booing because the cheers drowned them out.

[Owl]

11. That's what I heard as well.

[Bristlecone]

12. Seemed like that to me also

But the cheering wasn’t all that uproarious, that’s for sure.

[brush]

14. I dunno. I heard pretty sustained booing.

Even if it was 50/50 that's a good sign for Dem possibilities in a red state.

[Igel]

22. At a university football game.

Where almost everybody in the stands is (a) local in a university town, (b) a college student, (c) parent of a player.

Demographically, that's a lot of Biden supporters.

The booing wasn't initial; it was reactionary, following cheers from Trumpers. Then the main burst was mixed, sort of the high strings whistling and cheering and the cellos and basses booing. High pitches are more salient to humans than low pitches.

[brush]

24. I took it as a good sign for Dems in a red state.

[SharonClark]

33. That's just selective listening and wishful thinking.

[brush]

45. Your opinion. And we are on a Dem site promoting Dem wins...

I would think you wouldn't be putting down what I feel I heard. Seems you'd be rooting for Dems too.

[keopeli]

55. I don't think there is a good reason to put down a fellow DU member.

We're not fighting each other over whose subjective opinion is more valuable.

I happen to disagree with your opinion interpreting the volume of 'yeas' to nays'. But it is totally subjective, so why would I call you out for it? After all, no one really knows the percentage of pro- vs anti-tRump voters at that football game??

Your opinion on DU has value to me, as does the other poster.

Have a wonderful day!

[SharonClark]

32. Maybe in some states but not Iowa.

61,000 people from probably all 99
counties. Iowans who follow sports love Iowa, Iowa State, and the Cubbies. It’s in the DNA of Iowans.

I have a relative who flies back from Reno every year, bringing his two kids, so they can attend an Iowa game. It is a highlight of their year.

[mzmolly]

27. I heard a mixture of cheers and boos as well.

eom

[Skittles]

35. he said AUDIBLY BOOED

meaning disapproval could be heard

[Fiendish Thingy]

39. He makes his living off of click bait like this.

Even though he’s on our side, he’s pretty scummy.

[Alexander Of Assyria]

47. Meaningless and uninteresting. As is most stuff on a cell phone,

[intheflow]

49. I don't understand it either.

The photo of people giving him the finger is stronger than his claim of boos. I heard a few dissenting voices through the crowd but mostly cheers and adoring fans right in front of him. Probably plants, I can’t believe he’s there for the love of football. 🙄 So thank you, BTC, for helping to spread his propaganda.

[FakeNoose]

6. WTF was he doing there anyway? What did he think would happen?

People are there to watch a football game and root for their favorite team. It's not a Chump rally!
He deserves to be booed.

[Shrek]

17. The governor of Florida was there too

He sat in the stands with the governor of Iowa.

[magicarpet]

7. da worm is turning....

trDump is a losing proposition.

The Nazi AmeriKKKan Republican Party needs to be kicked in the teeth some more come November election 2024.

[lpbk2713]

8. Trump and the SS are the only ones in the stadium wearing suits.

Feel awkward and out of place much?

[Midnight Writer]

16. Don Jr told the tale of when his dad picked him up from college to go to a football game.

Jr was wearing the school colors, and dad hit him. Made him go back to his room and change into a suit.

[Maru Kitteh]

44. Didn't just hit him, punched his own kid in the face.

He seems to have a special level of hate for that kid. He mostly seems to ignore Eric and Tiffany. We all know how he feels about Stanky, who is basically a younger version of him with a whole lot more plastic surgery.

[sinkingfeeling]

10. But did he pay for tickets for him and his posse?

[SharonClark]

29. He was a guest in Gerald Kirke's box.

I worked for Kirke for 9 years in IT. My clients included the airplane pilots association and the retired officers association. They never put me on the NRA account - Kirke knew my politics.

[Mr.Bill]

13. I'm beginning to think

the only ones not pretty much done with Trump are the people that run cable news networks.

[we can do it]

19. +1

[SharonClark]

34. Trump leads DeSantis by something like 30 pts

among Iowa repugs. They’re all Qanon believers now.

[Boomerproud]

36. CNN can't quit him.

Even when he's not the top story, which is 99% of the time, there will surely be a video of a magat singing his praises. ENOUGH!

[Mr.Bill]

37. MSNBC isn't much better.

Trump farts and it's wall-to-wall coverage for 48 hours.

[paleotn]

41. I think you're right. He's yesterday's news.

[calimary]

50. Not done enough.

The perception seems to be that it still sells papers and grabs eyes on TV.

[Mr.Bill]

56. It probably does.

So does Porn. That doesn't mean you should be broadcasting it every day.

[calimary]

59. Exactly.

[Quixote1818]

58. Yes, I'm wondering if this could end up a huge blowout with Trump just winning in the redist of red

states. If Trump is convicted just once I think it will be a total blowout!

[aeromanKC]

15. 50 50 at best

I would have lost my booing voice!! Ahhhhh, who am I kidding, I would have been booted out by Secret Service.

[Midnight Writer]

18. Did TFG promise free beer and hot dogs for everybody before he ducked out?

[Takket]

20. but wait the media is telling me everyone wants drumpf elected because Biden is too old...........

drumpf's handlers be like:

[Xavier Breath]

25. Damn, beat me to it.

Boo-urns is gold.

[Cairycat]

21. Iowa State is hosting the game

it is in central Iowa, which is redder than eastern Iowa, where the University of Iowa is. I see from the picture that he is in the Iowa State section, hmm. I've wondered how it would have been if the game had been in Iowa City instead of Ames. Would he have participated in the "Iowa Wave" tradition? He'd have a hard time with even a couple minutes focused on the kids in the Childrens' Hospital that overlooks the U of I stadium and not on him.

I'm pretty sure Iowa State and the City of Ames are eating the cost of Dump visiting.

ETA:Go Hawks!

[Xavier Breath]

26. Yeah, he wouldn't have handled the Wave well.

Why are those children way up there? Those losers should get jobs and pay for better seats. Kim, can you get'em a job on a kill floor?

[SharonClark]

30. Well, the white players on the Iowa team

may have endorsed him like they did the last time. That was embarrassing.

[magicarpet]

23. trDump saw all the red outfits in the stadium ...

... and got a hard on thinking it was all his cult worshipers.

Not realising it was the sports team's colors.

○•○°○•○°

The biggest crowd in history,... even bigger than Obana's inaugural. Oh,.. I sorry,... they don't seem to give a fuck about me. Many are even booing.

Here,.. let me toss out some free MAGA red hats, made in China,.. anyways.

USA,.. USA,.. USA.

[tanyev]

28. Does he stay for the whole game when he does these things?

I can’t see him having the attention span for an entire football game that’s not about him.

[ProfessorGAC]

31. Not Likely

Once the game gets back underway it wouldn't be about him. The game would be what mattered, not him, and he couldn't stand that.

[Warpy]

38. Yep, the kids are all right

They seem perfectly able to see straight through that heap of malignant adipose tissue.

Keep it up, kids.

[paleotn]

40. Damn! Beat me to it.

If he can't get at least a lukewarm reception at Iowa / Iowa State, he's fucked.

[Wonder Why]

42. In some places, local team is more important than God or even Trump. It's a religion.

That's why church services are on Sunday. Nobody would go if it were on Saturday.

[COL Mustard]

43. I'm not really a fan of

The one-fingered salute, but if you’re gonna do it, do it like a boss, where he can see it!

[twodogsbarking]

46. I would take great pleasure in giving tangerine face half a peace sign.

[COL Mustard]

51. We're number one

But not THAT number one!

I like what you did there!

[LisaM]

48. Donald Trump, the coed's nightmare.

May he visit every college campus in the land, at least the normal ones in liberal college towns.

[Shanti Shanti Shanti]

52. The one thing sports fans really, really hate is a Whiny LOSER! LOL

[republianmushroom]

53. Good

[iluvtennis]

54. Good. n/t

[Kaleva]

57. I saw one report that tfg has no ground game in Iowa

[dalton99a]

60. Kick

[ecstatic]

61. He tried to overthrow our country

And people still support him. It's incredible. I just wish there was a way to know how much support he really has.

[musclecar6]

62. I couldn't agree more

He mounted an insurrection against our country. What could anybody possibly be thinking that would give this guy the time of day let alone even consider voting for him again?

He’s made it perfectly clear in recent months that he is going to take apart our government, and turn it into a totalitarian dictatorship. What the fuck is wrong with people that are not are scared to death at the proposition of him getting back in power ?

[Blue Owl]

63. Suck it Donny you fat piece of shit
