Bullcorn. When I was coaching HS baseball and we won a squeaker that should’ve been a blowout, I railed on my kids, telling them that if they’d have been playing arch-rival __________, they’d have had their asses handed to them.

Bear Bryant would lay into his team at halftime if they were leading by 20 points. But if they were trailing, he would build them up and encourage them instead of yelling at them.

It was kind of a flop and not just for the empty seats. Trump basically says the same things at every rally, and the sidetrack about saluting and the slippery ramp was just goofy

I thought he just needed a few more applause lines. Attack Biden then follow-up with an accomplishment. It went too long without getting the audience revved up.

What people REALLY want to hear Trump say is:

- I’m going to end the chaos in our streets
- I’m going to push back against this drive to destroy our culture.
- I’m going to get us out of COVID mode and back to normal as quickly as possible. This includes dealing with recalcitrant governors who won’t reopen and ending the mask culture.
- I’m going to see to it that China pays a price for what they did.

The story about the ramp at West Point, entertaining as it was, did not address any of that.

Yes. That’s the idea. If DJT laid into his campaign team, it was just that — to motivate them to get their asses in gear and act like they’re in the fight of their lives (even if they aren’t). That’s how great leaders lead.

Calling it a "flop" is bull$h!+. Yes, the numbers in the stadium was less than his normal crowd, but the viewership online and on TV was off the charts great.

The speech itself was very good I thought, laughed a lot listening to it. The critics who are disparaging his speech don't know much about successful rally speeches.

“ Huge CAVEAT - there is still the impression of that we are still in a pandemic. Not one mention of Covid or Pandemic in the article.”

You’re right. I am continually amazed by the number of people who are scared to death of the Wuhan flu. The fact that all of his pre-KungFlu rallies were packed, and that millions watched on TV or online, tells us that the enthusiasm for the President is still sky high, much to the chagrin of Commie News Network and the Slimes.

It may just be that lots of folks are still too scared of the Wuhan to sit shoulder-to-shoulder in an arena for hours with thousands of others.

[Since 2016 I’ve traveled to several Trump rallies that were held hours away from where I live.

If I had a ticket to a rally and I was told that a million others had also ordered tickets, I wouldn’t have left home.

The first lesson to be learned here is: Don’t give the ticket count until AFTER the event is over. ]


Agreed. But I bet it was Trump who wanted this information shouted from the rooftops. And I bet he’s blaming Parscale for not telling him this was a bad idea. Or not trying hard enough to dissuade him.
