Will Magats start getting embarrassed about going to rallies?

If the next one in Phoenix is also a bust, will Trumpsters start feeling they don't want to be part of such loser events?

Could we see a cascade effect of smaller and smaller turnout?

Wishful thinking on my part, but it would be fun to watch.

but I think the crowd that needs them enough to risk death is dwindling. The rest would prefer to watch them on TV.

Will MAGAts show up in droves to show us what's what, or has Trump's spell where he supposedly owns libs been broken, and they now see how humiliating it is to be around him? Or are they tired of the same old schtick that does nothing to address everything going on?

Definitely something to keep an eye on. Nobody likes being part of a losing team.

First, don't promise a ticket to anyone without a deposit. Second, hire someone to keep an eye on the kids and their Tic Tok shennanigans. (Don't you love how Tic Tok almost rhymes with Dick Tuck?) Third, they'll look for ways to target us similarly, and they'll feel justified in whatever they do.

Parscale got burned this time around, he'll be ready for it the next time.

wanted to go, and had heard that about a million people have tickets for a venue that seats only a small fraction of that, why bother taking the trip, and the possible risks inherent in that, for nothing?

And, the campaign could offer to refund it in cash to people who show up, so it might not be one.

I'm sure there were all kinds of Trump voters who decided not to come to Tulsa because they believed that they had a very slim chance of making it into the rally. The campaign is not going to let that happen again, even if it takes offering a refund of a deposit to fill the seats the next time.

They got punked, and won't let it happen again. Parscale was an idiot, and he got owned.

I would imagine that anyone who sincerely wanted to go to a Trump rally would gladly pay a ten or twenty dollar fee for a ticket. And yes, it would be a campaign contribution, but those are still legal.

Just one of many very basic skills the average adult human possesses that Trump voters don't have.
