    I'm not blaming anyone for anything, other than providing factual multiple-choice causes for why turnout was low. You can insist on "only one cause" all you wish.

    The rally was a successful one for Trump and his supporters, all things considered.

    Oh look: A tribe of flies. Ask any Democrat and I expect they will claim the flies are oppressed and offer them a government-paid EBT card so they can go to the store and get more cheap sh!t to nosh upon. lol

    Remember Covid when Trump was out of the gates and twice around the track before you guys even left the barn...and you said he was an over reacting bigot? This is much the same. We are off to a rousing start under the circumstances. Perhaps you best get your own contraption into gear before worrying about ours.

    I remember:
    The CDC issued its first warning on Jan 8.

    Trump held campaign rallies on Jan 9, Jan 14, Jan 28, Jan 30, Feb 10, Feb 19, Feb 20, Feb 21 & Feb 28.

    He golfed on Jan 18, Jan 19, Feb 1, Feb 15, Mar 7 & Mar 8.

    The first time he admitted the coronavirus might be a problem was Mar 13.

    Home viewership of the rally is impressive, and still rising.

    Except there is no Jim Crow south. But if there were, as bad as it was it would be generally far superior to mob rule. BTW, many, if not most blacks practice and believe in segregation under the radar.

    The harm imposed by the virus is not limited to death.

    The Obama Administration was filled with great promise. Hope and change, ah I remember my political adolescence. Unfortunately, his domestic "policy"(so much as it was a policy) was to stir up controversy whenever, and wherever controversy would strike. Despite the hope that he would be the people's President, he didn't even try to fill in those shoes.

    I was at most in approval of his foreign policy, until the Arab Spring which Obama called the worst policy decision of his administration.(It was pushed primarily by Secretary Clinton). Essentially, the Obama Administration ended up in the same folly as Bush did in Iraq/Afghanistan thinking they could revolutionize democracies, instead they had given us ISIS and instability in the region.

    And then towards the latter stages of its administration, we had to seemingly deal with months of terror attacks(what happened in San Bernardo and the Orlando pulse shootings, gave Trump a major boost as it convinced me personally that the administration was weak on national security.)

    In today's world, we saw the riots(mainly in democratic states/cities) further elaborating the point. Democrats are weak on national security until they show otherwise.

    A few points:

    1) Trump went more than 100 days without a press conference during one stretch.
    2) Demands for press conferences, much like a demand for more debates, is a sign of weakness from the side which is losing.
    3) Biden will give a press conference when a press conference is warranted.

    The pro-trump narrative appears to have coalesced around pretending that they planned on merely filling 1/3rd of that venue.

    Of the symptomatic, roughly 15% need to be hospitalized.

    Of the hospitalized, roughly 1/3 die. That particular ratio is on par with ebola.

    Lol...It’s heartening to see that only a few fools showed up to his rally.
    Even his base is getting sick of the implacable dotard.
    Has he ever cared about anything but himself?

    Yes, I know. There is also global economic disaster which in all likelihood will lead to just as many deaths and crushed lives as the virus itself.

    A press conference from a "leader" with Alzheimer's will never be warranted, will it.

    Symone Sanders might as well be your nominee. Biden isn't viable, except as a prop.

    I don't think they planned on it(knowing Trump of course not), but for the pro-health crowd this is a fortune of good luck. Since the crowd wasn't anywhere near as big, the potential for spreading got lowered by a considerable amount, and at the same token the online presence still counts as a major win.

    Of course, all of this depends on if Trump can see nuisances, and that for a while a small crowd is a good crowd given his much stronger internet advantage over Biden.

    Trump surpassed Obama's unemployment rate. I'll mark that down as an accomplishment.

    ....and you still believe them? Still waiting on the 1.5million ticket holders to land at Tulsa.

    I'm not getting that impression at all. I think everyone planned on a full house until it didn't happen.

    Yes, it was a disappointing turnout for Trump.

    Isn't this this the ultimate hypocrisy...... It's Obama's fault because he was President but it happens during Trumps run and it's not his fault.

    This administration pushes blame everywhere but it's own when should be his own shoulders.

    Right. The effects were not being felt yet. And everyone, Trump included, were keeping their fingers crossed. It was all new territory...play it as it goes. Still his efforts to quarantine travel, and travelers back in mid to late January was an astute and effective action. Democrats mocked him even for that. And they've been playing catchup ever since. First they mocked him saying he was over reacting. Then they criticized him saying he was inept and not doing enough. The left really is a joke. And they're wrong about everything, the very epitome of ineptitude. From Trayvon Martin to Michael Brown to Jussie Smollett to the Catholic teens to the border crisis to Judge Kavanaugh to the Russian conspiracy to the Covid virus. Wrong, wrong, wrong. They can't even pick a decent candidate. The left has become so tainted that Trump with all his faults is superior to the lefts loftiest ruminations.

    Is Biden asking for their help and trying to establish back channels to their governments? Is there some known, documented attempt by Russia or other foreign entities to influence American voters in Biden's favor? We need to establish some basic facts if we're going to have this discussion.
