“Sean Spicer, a spokesman for the commitee, offered a breakdown of debate attendance on Saturday night to show the relatively small number of donors in the audience. Of the approximately 1,600 people who attended, 300 tickets were given to Republican “grass-roots” activists and elected officials, 600 were divided evenly among the six candidates, and only 10 went to R.N.C. donors.”
There were 7 candidates on the stage - Trump has 26-?% support - and yet he wants 74% of the audience to kowtow to him - make him happy - make it “fair?”
Art of The Steal
Trump flourishes best when he can extort.
So:
1. Trump had as many tickets from the RNC as the other candidates. Trump knows this.
2. If Trump has any beef with distribution of the remaining tickets, the complaint should be directed at the South Carolina Republican Party and CBS. I have no idea how they distributed their tickets. I would not be surprised if the SC GOP distributed them to county chairmen, donors, and other party workhorses, as this would be a very sensible way for a state party to reward the faithful. But Trump has no complaint with the RNC.
3. So, once again, we see that Trump is merely lashing out wildly, making a ridiculous false charge with no support in the facts, and known to be false to Trump when he makes it ... assuming of course that he stops to think about such things when lashing out in anger.
3. Trump will now double down on the lie. The false charge will now be leveraged for extortionate demands for special treatment, or as a reason for Trump to renege on a commitment.
4. And once again, none of Trump's supporters care in the slightest what their man does. I have never seen collective insanity of this type in U.S. politics. It stinks of Latin American caudillo politics.
Sean Spicer better work on his math>
