Ten bucks in the kitty to discuss the million ticket requests.
People like AOC are saying how clever the left is to have signed up just to be able to have a laugh at Trump's expense. This may be partly true, but many people signed up in support of Trump. While I was not one of them, I have read of a few Freepers who did just that.
Being lost is how many people did see the rally electronically. I don't have those numbers but I watched on RSBN and at one point it topped 80K. That is much higher than I have ever seen.
My other issue is the number who were physically there. In my opinion we are a much smarter group and don't just follow like sheep. The Wu Flu is out there. True stats on it are unknown. I'm sure that was a factor.
The black panthers were there and our media did very little to cover that. We all know that red hats and American flags trigger them. They also chant that white lives don't matter.
The campaign needs to charge a 1 dollar ID fee starting now. It does two things. It isn’t a cure but will help. That’s a dollar per ticket, not for 50.
You couldn’t say this on an already existing thread?
Meh.
Trump only had 15,000 enthusiast voters show up to his first post covid campaign rally rather than 20,000. Despite all the roadblocks.
It’s like saying the Patriots only won by only 40 points over the Dolphins instead of 50 points.
And PS. 2 million viewed it on YouTube real time alone. Plus a bunch of other real time sites.
OAN reported 4+ million viewers across all forms of electronic media, including TV, and internet broadcasts.
Watched on my computer...135,000 were watching with me.
Must be rather crowded around your desk.
; )
“Watched on my computer...135,000 were watching with me.”
So much for social distancing!
It’s a paid for vanity. I’m sure Jim would like to see a lot of them.
Thank you for supporting Free Republic.
Charge $10 or $5 for tickets. If your ticket gets scanned at the arena or at the overflow (if possible), your fee gets credited. Or something along those lines..
I don’t think there are actual tickets required to enter.
Agreed. The glass is WAY MORE than half full.
It’s Fathers Day!! Nobody is paying any attention to fake news!
Good one...!
I don’t think that accounts for all the excess requests. I have read of many people who order tickets in support of Trump with no intention of attending. I’m not saying this is a bad thing.
I guess the Trump Rally thing doesn’t work like I thought it did.
I always figured that, let’s say there were 100,000 ticket requests for a 20,000 seat area, and then the first 20,000 in line get in, with the leftovers getting to watch on big screens outside.
So let’s say that half the 1+ million requests were bogus, that leaves 500,000 real ones. So only 15,000 were in line last night? Photos I saw looked like more than that for sure.
Good come back, you win
