* Two hours before the Trump rally. The upper deck is closed. Occam's Razor- They couldn't fill it.

(32,639 posts)The seats below the American flag look like they have signs or names on them, like they're reserved for specific people.
Below those seats is the stage or dais where I'd presume Trump is going to stand. I guess this thing hasn't started yet. The reserved seats - if that's what they are - will be filled later by some VIPs I would guess. Once Trump comes out every seat will be filled, they're just empty because it hasn't started yet.
I hope these people start listening to him and figure out what he's really saying. Not what they THINK he's saying. They should start asking questions and don't leave till they get answers.

He beat Clinton in Iowa in the general election, taking 51.8% of the vote to Clinton's 42.2%.
People camped overnight to get in
Many out-of-state supporters got to Iowa early enough to camp out overnight to see the president, according to Buzzfeed.

(21,506 posts)obviously if it was packed they would be full but why is there no pick of the seats people would actually want to sit in. Also it would be much better if the pic was taken while he was actually on stage.
Just saying. Cheeto is a fucking train wreck but this sort of dishonesty does not work for me.

(21,506 posts)before it actually started. Could be ten minutes before it started or a couple of hours. There is no way of knowing.
Might have been completely empty but a pic of it empty while he was actually on stage would be much more effective at making the point and should be real easy to come by.
if you look at the live feed going on now for example you can only see directly behind him but the seats are all full where this pic shows them empty.
Lying to ourselves is not helpful.

These "campaign rallies" when the election was less than a year ago and the next one is almost three years from now are just freaking creepy!

(1,007 posts)Iowa is my state...and not very many lately are even discussing Dump...no comment means they are not verbally supporting him like before the election. I do not bring it up....but I have heard a lot of grumbling.
And that area he was going to is heavily blue....so I could not figure out why.
And when Pence was here a couple of weeks ago...only a handful showed up. Also, a guy from work lives in that town and he told me that they flew Pence in, drove him to Perry, and then he got on his bike 2 blocks away from the area he was talking. It was all a media stunt!!!!
Furthermore, if he wanted to reach the bikers...those are in Des Miones. Most of Perry are farmers with Ford trucks! I would be so embarrassed to do a stunt like that!!!!

(5,810 posts)they will see to that they are filled if they have to go dig up bodies from near by cemeteries. tRump won't know the difference as long as he hears his fans chanting his name.
