Trump campaign screwed up this Tulsa Rally badly😂

They set expectations waaay to high. And the funny thing is, with the coronavirus this rally could have been a success if they would have stated that although the arena holds 19,000 people that they would practice social distancing precautions so a limited amounted a people (Say 6,000) would be allowed to attend. Then they could have claimed success and said that they sold out

and just an entertainer. I can't remember many politicians who can keep the audience cheering like crazy for 90 minutes.

I knew carnies as a kid, growing up in Fla. They had far more morals, principles and ethics than Comrade Dumbass ever has.

oil and water. They never mix.
But I am still impressed with his ability to entertain for 90-100 minutes.

They were bragging that almost a million people had signed up online to attend an event in a venue that holds 19,000. Together with the virus (evidently at least some of Trump's fanboys think it really exists), this might have encouraged a lot of people decided to stay home and watch it on tv.

The campaign overpromised and underdelivered. You're supposed to do it the other way around, but the campaign had to hype expectations because Needy Amin demanded a win to make himself feel better. I look forward to the day we have a president who doesn't have to be coddled like a cranky toddler.

social distancing and responsibility, the would have had a win and even with that, they failed an opportunity.

That means that they had 1 million actual people sign up and only 6200 showed up.

Trump got pwned, and deserved it. Pascale biggest mistake was in not questioning why they were getting such unrealistic numbers.

It is all about the "grand image" with the idiot that they work for, he would not allow something that is sensible.

But yapping about 800k or a million requests, they likely scared some possible attendees away.
Self-inflicted wound.
