***NOTE***: K-Pop story has a couple of big holes in it; No set ticket limit and the empty overflow

EDIT: I looks like there was no set ticket limit so whom ever was spoofing tickets could've spoofed 2 trillion of them if they wanted to the people who wanted to be there would've shown up en masse to fill the arena if the demand was there.

NO... Do ... LET the polling companies off the hook !!

Make polling companies explain how in the hell could Red Don not fill 20,000 seats in the reddest state in the union.

Also, if it was about a static amount of tickets the overflow would've at least had 1,000 people there it had NO ONE but the take down crew.

No, this was horrible for trump seeing Oklahoma is more reliable red than Alabama yes, there are tons of black republicans in OK.

Look Obama can get 20,000 people to show up in north eastern Mississippi with 2 days notice to watch him switch shoes.

When a person is popular they will pull crowds and diverse ones too.

This was Red Don's "Open UP" rally, it has LITTLE to do with K-pop emptying the stadium they couldn't logistically do it seeing there wasn't a set amount of ticketing and the overflow was empty.

Trump had a really bad night in a really red state

Your take?
