My take on K-Pop and the Rally. Brad knew something was up.

[tulipsandroses]

From what I am reading, people signing up for a rally and not attending is not a new phenomena. They usually account for the fake signups. So why did the trump campaign get it so wrong this time?

Brad is supposed to be some wunderkid when it comes to social media marketing and campaigning. I think he would have know that the number was inflated. I think he knows Trump is tanking. But like all the people around trump, he's a grifter. He's going to tell trump what he wants to hear to keep the grift going to benefit himself. He knows he only has 5 months left to ride this gravy train.

In April there were reports of trump blowing up at brad and threatening to sue him due to low poll numbers. I think Brad told trump what he wanted to hear about the Tulsa rally. 1 million people have signed up, knowing full well that the number was inflated.

1. I think he'll be gone next week-- Brad. Or Jared will be installed on top of him.

And you know how powerful Jared is! He is coming off solving the Covid crisis, and before that bringing peace to the Middle East, and curing opioid addiction too.

2. Considering the size of Oklahoma, Tulsa, surrounding areas, limited flights to Tulsa to even

assume there would be a large turnout was stupid. His staffers just try to appease him with false expectations. Trump doesn’t want to hear the truth, so they bs him. I think republicans are going to start distancing after this.

3. yep - he's a parasite

But like all the people around trump, he's a grifter. He's going to tell trump what he wants to hear to keep the grift going to benefit himself. He knows he only has 5 months left to ride this gravy train.

pretty much nails it.

4. Anyone in the campaign who believed there were 1 million ticket requests

has started believing their own BS.

[RockRaven]

5. He's perfectly happy to have 1M email addresses he can sell to all sorts of grifters,

marketers, and disinformation authors.

9. Yeah, but good luck contacting JackMehoff@gmail. com n/t

[GopherGal]

13. Yeah, it gets him what he really wants

fodder for his database.

It's buyer beware when he resells that contact info. I'm sure they expect a certain rate of false info, but it's looking like 99% BS. Pretty much like their candidate. So I'm failing to generate much sympathy for his potential customers...

6. They were boasting over a million and knew the number was not there. Maybe they figured there

would be enough to be able to fake news there way thru. But everyone, including my dumb isolated self KNEW a million was beyond ridiculous.

7. He had his thumb on the Parscale

n/t

[empedocles]

8. par scale has been slavish, thats where his income came in

10. Brad is not happy

11. That statement is very telling, and I am glad they are putting it out there. It reiterates what I

I'm thinking. He knew the number was inflated. He pushed the narrative of one million signups for 2 reasons:

1: To tell trump what he wanted to hear. This benefits brad to keep his grift going.
2. Somehow trying to fool other trumpers that 1 million other trumpers were hyped and excited to see trump - in the hopes of exciting them to sign up.

12. I don't Think the Trump Campaign Knows what "Unprofessional" Means

[Nevilledog]

17. And they still couldn't get 19k trumphumping COVID-19 deniers

This statement is just arrogance. They'd be better off playing the victim of teenage pranksters.

But, please proceed Brad. Keep telling us how you worked so hard vetting people and couldn't get 19k mouth-breathers to show up.

[Blue_true]

14. Personally, I think Brad has until Trump wakes up today and get

his hairdo and spray-tan. By sundown, a Trump lackey will let Brad know he has been fired.

[rusty fender]

15. Trumpass will have

Barr issue a statement that Parscale has stepped down

[Nevilledog]

18. I'd rather have Brad than KKKarl.

[ProfessorGAC]

16. Who Said They Had 800,000 RSVPs?

Parscale, that's who!
I didn't brag about the number. Nobody here bragged about 800,000 requests. Brad did.
Then 0.75% of the number actually showed up.
And the media doesn't know what they're talking about?

[gratuitous]

19. Maybe he knew something was up

But he didn't dare voice skepticism because he knew it would displease Needy Amin. This administration is growing increasingly like the family in the "It's a Good Life" Twilight Zone episode: "It's good that you done that, Donny. Real good."
