No one was blocked out. Tickets were unlimited. If you wanted to go you could have gotten one. I hope that's true. I just saw an article of some trump supporter saying she couldn't get a ticket. You think they hit a million and just stopped giving them out?

My bet is that handlers on the ground would have seen the small crowd and let anybody in without a ticket except that armed division of Antifa radicals wouldn’t let them.

Of course it was! Otherwise, why else would they have given out over a million tickets for an arena that seats 19,000?

What does supporting a worthless pos make you. Any excuse for supporting him now is ridiculous. His main job is protect all Americans, not just his base, and he has failed miserably, as 100k dead attests. Then he criticizes Biden over the H1N1 response when this has killed 10 times as many. And he continues to lie about the virus. How can you support him, his administration, and the Republican party’s total abdication of leadership on this issue. As they say, fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. Vote for him again, and you have told me all I need to know. You support 1 lying every time he opens his mouth 2 name calling 3 locking children in cages 4 separating children from their parents, and not even being competent to get the information to reunite them in the future 5 making fun of the military and their families 6 threatening to use the military against American citizens on US soil 7 the complete failure at any attempt to contain the virus 8 holding rallies in the face of overwhelming medical advice against 8 hawking an unproven and potentially dangerous treatment for the virus, and refusing to correct it when it has been discredited 9 refusing to provide leadership about mask wearing, so it is now seen as a political point instead of a public health issue 10 encouraging armed protesters in the michigan state house during a pandemic So, excuse me for judging What makes you think that Molly supports Trump? Look at her history and you will see that she doesn't. To me, it looks like she supports not generalizing a group of people as idiots because that group doesn't be lieve in what you do. [br Why not, the Republicans generalize about everyone who doesn’t support trump. My post stands, giving him the benefit of the doubt is debatable the first time. He is running on his record now. Vote him in again means you approve of his record

Exactly. Fine you made a mistake. Take responsibility and work to counteract it. But if you vote for the outcomes he stands for... my only recourse is to assume you want those outcomes. You don’t get the benefit of the doubt any more.
Especially when you have the audacity to look me in the eye and suggest that you are the Christian...
obviously speaking generally here... no one on the board... much of my irl.

If early on polling had shown a significant percentage of those who identify as Republican supporting the selection of a nominee with similar policy positions but wasn't Donald J. Trump, it would give credence to there being limited support for his behavior. There wasn't so I don't feel the need to cut anyone any slack.

My daughter's friends all had reserved tickets for the rally. They went to a BLM walk instead.
My husband told me the next level up would be to get thousands of people to actually go to his rally and sit absolutely quiet through the entire thing. No booing, just dead silence. Keep the seats from getting filled with supporters.

They call people who are offended snowflakes. They get called deplorable sand get their nose bent out of shape. They call people like me who supported NE republicans rino. They like that trump makes liberals cry, and that “he tells it like it is.” Sorry. I am supposed to care about their feelings. Screw that. I am sorry if I misinterpreted the original post. Did not mean to offend her

Then I’m guessing it was their error. Trump campaign never shut down tickets.
Last week I thought a system i was using was down because it would not let me submit something... realized I was using an email not a user name... totally my fault. No indication on system I was making an error.

According to the media, every event that Donald Trump has is a "rally", as opposed to Biden who has "campaign events". It's very divisive, as is most media coverage, and if anything, it's alienating voters who have legitimate concerns that Trump's economic policies seem to answer. Rather than expend so much time and energy bashing Trump, maybe the democrats need to better market their policies in order to sway voters. I'm not saying this to support Trump... I just think the Democrats strategy is horrible.

Trump gets hours and hours of free publicity a day. Mostly over inane bullshit. They said the same thing about Clinton but her policies were all out there.
Seriously you think Trump has solved economic problems? Which ones pray tell...

I agree. Having the Democrats react to anything and everything that Trump does since day 1 distracts from the real harm that Trump is doing. Yes, I find Trump drinking a glass of water funny. How is that significant news when he had Barr fire Berman?

How is that significant news when he had Barr fire Berman? It is not that him drinking water is funny, it is more WHY is he drinking water like this? Has he had a stroke? Does he have some sort of condition that affects how well he can do his job? We have watched him deteriorate in front of our eyes the last few years, this is just one more example. Don't you think that this is a legitimate concern? His physical and mental status affects everyone in the US. We are depending on those we have NOT elected to keep him from doing something incredibly stupid. At this point, we aren’t playing offense but defense with this presidency. Quite frankly, the more he deteriorates, the more uncomfortable and scared I get.

I agree that he appears to have deteriorated, but why is each symptom or appearance of a symptom treated as an unique occurrence rather than a cummulative list? 1. unable to hold a water glass with one hand 2. unsteady gait 3. trembling 4. forgetfulness 5. added weight 6. increased age 7. poor eyesight 8. lack of exercise 9. lack of sleep 10. quick to anger
Wouldn't a cummulative list have more of an effect on the populous than a single event? We know from Tulsa that the rumor of Parkinson's disease rattled him. What would happen if everyone started asking about his health at the beginning of each briefing or appears on ads?

Because it is that largest elephant in the room that those who can do something about it are ignoring. Maybe if the public points it out (once again) that we have noticed problems, maybe.....just maybe.....something can be done? Nah......not gonna hold my breath. The emperor has no clothes.

LOL! You are as cynical as I am. FDR continually lied about how poor his health was and Reagan had Alzheimer's. No way would Trump allow anybody to say that he wasn't in the best health and that he has the best genes. Which is why I think media should focus on his performance and physical/mental condition rather than be distracted by the next shiny thing. If the Democrats had spent longer on the investigation on impeachment, he may not have been able to wiggle out of the consequences.

He is right about one thing, he could shoot someone on 5th avenue and not lose support. He also stonewalled the investigation and was allowed to get away with it because of support from the republicans

Now that this trick is out in the open, I bet more teens will get in on the action. Will be hard to counter, as they are likely more tech savvy than his typical supporters. If they raise the price, he might price some of his supporters out. And if the local party controls it, might not get his most rabid crowd. Will be fun to watch. Also interesting to see what his supporters will do if cases continue to spike in the places he wants/needs to go It is a double edged sword. What teens can do to trump rallies they can also do to Biden rallies. Biden rallies?

I just read something online where it was noted that based on the kids ordering tickets, the Trump campaign now has 500,000 people named Haywood Jablowmi in their database.
