Trump Faces Thousands Of Empty Seats At Campaign Comeback Rally | Talking Points Memo

TULSA, Okla.

Empty majority as well.

1/3 of the seats were empty? What were you watching? He’s lucky if that place was 1/3 full (it wasn’t).

As crowds go, it was on the same scale as his manhood hands.

Oops. Never mind.

So the story was to show how much he was loved.

No matter what he says is an excuse, it is still an excuse.

If your pitiful ego says you need a rally to demonstrate you are loved, and no one shows up - only excuses like blaming the media and the protestors are your message.

A sane man would sulk back into their hole. I suspect Brad is looking for work by Wednesday.

Oh, and the Berman/Barr battle. Another punch in the face. What a week.

And, the best is yet to come!

On the other hand, Dr Fauci was pleased, since the rally barely reached what is defined as a “gathering.”

There were still maybe 5,000 unmasked fools breathing on each other. That’s going to start something.

“ But the smaller-than-expected crowds may only increase GOP worries.”

And thus, the foundation begins to crumble. This rally represents the beginning of the end.

And the outside rally? They were taking in down early in the afternoon.

When it sucks, it really sucks.

Let’s wait two weeks and see who is now sick.

Sad - truly sad. :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

It’s going to be glorious. And it’ll start on the plane ride home when he finds out everyone is focused on his tiny, little, miniscule crowd.

I’m trying not to be overly optimistic here. But this completely botched comeback rally almost feels like we’ve finally turned a corner in American politics…

I’m hoping that the post-rally stays non-violent.

As posted in the other thread, Mr. Parscale should enjoy his “data haul” and hopefully he’s merged the 1 million records into the rest of the system already.

This makes me so happy. I love it. I love everything about it aside from the fact that the imbeciles that went are 100% spreading COVID. But for Trump. Fuck you.

Is this a metaphor? And not necessarily hands.

I’m just hoping Trump gets it and has to hit the ICU like his idiot twin in the UK.
