The K-Pop/teenager hijacking story is fun, but the narrative needs to remain on the no-shows. [View all]

I've been proud of the youngsters using technology to prank the Trump campaign, but it doesn't explain the lack of an overflow crowd. It's possible the "Zoomers" reserved thousands--perhaps hundreds of thousands--of tickets, but ultimately only 6,200 people showed up for an event that was billed to possibly be in the millions.

So I've had a fun night and day, and I've been proud of the kids springing into action, but ultimately the reason this flopped is because Trump's campaign oversold expectations for a rally that was a bad idea to have in the first place. He is a disorganized mess, and America is tired of him.
