So the Con and his aides are planning more rallies for his base

so he can spew the usual b.s., which will be dutifully broadcast and written about. In essence, easy (fact-) free advertising.

It's also interesting to see how they take ARENA-SIZED venues and hang black curtain "room dividers" from the rafters in order to hide from view all the seats OTHER than those that are on (or near) the floor.

It helps to corral the attendees into a central concentrated area, and it gives the speaker (and cameras) the illusion that the 20K seat arena has been "filled to capacity" ... when in reality, only 500 people bothered to show up.
