Tulsa Flops

My, Trump certainly had a lot of empty seats at his Tulsa rally this past Saturday!

If his intent was to have his rally live down to expectations, then by that criterion, the rally was a complete success.

The BOK Center in Tulsa has 19,000 seats.  Trump said he drew 12,000 people, though fire marshals said it was half that.  An outdoor stage for overflow crowds expected to top one million went unused.  There are also reports that anti-Trump voters reserved seats on social media to pump up the numbers and make Trump look bad. Ultimately, Trump attracted fewer people at the BOK Center than a recent concert from Loverboy, a Canadian corporate-rock band that hasn't had a hit in 35 years.    And you know that no one on Trump's advance team was working for the weekend!

When a rock band - even a bunch of hasbeens like Loverboy - tours, its set list usually includes material from its latest album as a way of promoting it, in addition to the hit songs.  Trump's campaign rally was nothing but greatest hits!  Make America great again!  (Wait - wasn't the latest Trump slogan "Keep America Great?")  Antifa! COVID as the Kung Flu!  The Loony Left!  All sounding as fresh as "Hot Girls In Love" sounds when you hear it a hundred times and above.   He was essentially doing the political equivalent of playing live the contents of a greatest-hits album - plus the bonus track!  The bonus track?  His ability to drink a glass of water - with one hand!

How did Trump feel about the outcome? 

Here's Trump returning to the White House Saturday night.  What do you think?

 

Wonder what he's going to do for an encore?
