There is a chronic problem of self-deception throughout that cluster of phenomena, from Trump himself down to the simplest most trusting acolyte.

To be honest, I wouldn't have cared about how full the arena was, except for all the bragging and chest beating ahead of time. Trump bragging about how big it was going to be. Parscale trying to gull us into believing his inflated attendance projections. Endless posts about how a million people wanted to attend. All nonsense. There is no way to spin this as anything but a huge failure by a loser and his losing team.

That's not what's happening, but I guess the poor guy has to come up with something. The left is mocking the premature bragging - the entire little-finger-to-mouth "one million RSVPs" bit. It was a worthless figure, indicative of nothing, and bringing it up only served to underline the risk of taking the victory lap before crossing the finish line.

Agreed, the rally flopped entirely on its own merits. A weird point to bring up, but - poor guy, has to come up with something, etc.

I would feel bad for the poor fools who slept on the sidewalk to be sure of seats, except I simply can't.

All those kids were just fooling around when they were playing with the Tulsa rally.

Trashing Trump's Tulsa was as easy as pie.

Imagine what they can do when they get serious.

Getting off the pane from Tulsa Trump looked like a high roller who left it all on table.

That was truly a walk of shame. I almost felt sorry for him.

damn, parscale is doubling down. so now he's claiming that the "1million +" were legitimate requests plus there were an additional "tens of thousands" of bogus registrations and still, only 6,200 showed up.


when you're in a hole, stop digging.

I try to feel sorry, but I'm too busy laughing.
