The TikTok Kids Did Not Effect The Crowd Size at The Rally.

They are awesome and I applaud them but the low turnout was entirely on Trump. There were tickets available for days, the Magats just didn't want them.

Actually, what they really did was much better. They played on his Narcissism and had him convinced that there was massive enthusiasm for him. They got the campaign to spend millions on an overflow area that they were never going to need. They knew he would brag all week about how huge his rally would be and he didn't disappoint. They made a fool out of him.

It concerns me that the Media, and even many resisters, are saying today that the TikTok kids are the reason the rally turnout was down. That ignores his low poll numbers, his low approval ratings and the general mess he has made of everything. People, even Magats, didn't feel like celebrating that shit. It wasn't a lack of tickets that kept the crowds away.
