Crowd Shrinkage? Many Activists Registering for Trump Rally but Won't Attend

[TexasTowelie]

Nothing seems to get under President Donald Trump's skin like an undersize crowd.

That's all the ammunition Arizona activists needed to devise a peaceful protest strategy for Trump's campaign-style rally on Tuesday at 7 p.m. at the Phoenix Convention Center.

The plan is simple: Rally-goers must register online for tickets to attend the controversial affair, so activists and social media users plan to sign up for as many tickets as possible with no intention of attending the actual event. They figure this will leave Trump speaking to a smaller crowd while taking a spot away from actual supporters.

J'aime Morgaine, the founder of Indivisible Kingman, says the "empty seats" rally is the perfect way for her to peacefully protest from roughly 200 miles away.

4. Just got ours

Apparently they still have seats, even at this late date (24 hrs before event). After the NOLA and Boston lite showings this past weekend maybe his base isn't going so there should be a small crowd after all.

5. Anyone planing on protesting

on the inside? Strength in numbers and while I have my tickets I am not exactly sure when I should get to the convention center so I can get inside.

They announced on local tv today that people will be allowed in "first come, first served", tickets or not.
