41. They made the Trump campaign look like utter fools.

Bragging over and over again that the place was going to be jammed full, and setting up another stage outside because they thought there would be tens of thousands who couldn't get in. They look really stupid now.

Also, I bet a bunch of Trump fans wanted to go and didn't, because of the stories of huge numbers of tickets issued and people camped outside for days. They figured they'd never get inside, so they stayed home and watched it on teevee instead.

I ordered a fake ticket. Only 10,500 showed up out of 19,190 seats. Alex4Martinez Jun 2020 #9
+1, two thirds full is giving WAY too much and no overflow. Spoofed tickets don't explain that uponit7771 Jun 2020 #15

Regardless, the magats failed to show. C_U_L8R Jun 2020 #12
No, the overflow was empty and it didn't need tickets. Spoofing wouldn't get 10,000 tickets either uponit7771 Jun 2020 #13
