20. I wonder if the resisters did this?

President Trump “resisters” are urging people to sabotage his New Hampshire rally this week by reserving free tickets and leaving the seats empty, instead protesting outside the Manchester arena — a strategy political operatives on both sides say won’t hurt Trump, and could backfire.

Sergio Siano, who describes himself as a progressive and a democratic socialist on social media, tweeted over the weekend about Trump’s rally this coming Thursday: “Let’s hit him where it hurts: his rally attendance. Book your two free tickets to Trump’s New Hampshire rally, don’t attend, and join us in protesting outside. Let’s make this go viral!”

Siano’s tweet surpassed 10,000 retweets and 15,000 likes Sunday afternoon.

People can reserve two tickets per phone number for the Thursday night rally at the SNHU Arena in Manchester — with seating capacity ranging from 10,050 for end-stage concerts to 11,770 for center-stage concerts, according to the venue’s website.
