46. And after they got into the rally, there was only halfhearted cheering and chanting

They couldn't even get a hearty 'Sleepy Joe', 'Lock Her Up', or even a 'USA! USA! USA!' going for more than a few seconds. It was like the 'crowd' (such as it was) just really wasn't into it at all.

Major infighting going on over in freeperville about why it was so empty. Some are trying to push the idea that the venue was limiting attendance to 50% capacity and had blocked off the upper level, when you could clearly see that this was not the situation. Instead of the rally attendance they're boosting the online viewership, without knowing why people watched. (I admit it - I watched it, hoping to see him go even more off the rails than he did. He seemed very reserved compared to what I was expecting. Maybe the Xanax did a little better at counteracting the Adderall tonight.)
