billsfan1959 Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 24 minutes ago, ALF said: Atlanta mayor calls Trump's Tulsa rally 'an embarrassment' "That rally was an embarrassment. It was absolutely what the nation does not need right now. He did not speak about healing. He did not recognize any of the racial tensions that are happening across our country," Bottoms told CNN's Jake Tapper on "State of the Union." "Instead, he does what he always does. He continues to try and divide us and really inflames the worst in people. And so I just hope that this is a good sign that the country is moving on from him," she continued. "Like so many people across this country, my first response was that, 'I hope that this is a preview for November,'" Bottoms said. "That finally people are recognizing that this man is a danger to our country, a danger to our democracy. And he should not be the President of the United States of America." https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/21/politics/keisha-lance-bottoms-trump-tulsa-rally-cnntv/index.html There seems to be a lot of this going around. Keisha Lance Bottoms, and a lot of other people, on both sides, should take a long hard look in the mirror.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because 1 Million seems like a ridiculous number for a building that only holds around 20,000. There were 1 million requests. According to the articles, many people were not able to get tickets. The interference didn't actually reduce the amount of people that supports Trump; these rallies tend to be his base anyway; but did highlight how petty this election is going to be. ....so childish. 2 minutes ago, billsfan1959 said: There seems to be a lot of this going around.

At this point, is there anything they can do, or say? It's not like they can ramp up the attacks. Edited June 21, 2020 by unbillievable 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really that similar. FoxNews, during Obama, had a 75%/25% negative ratio. The MSM is averaging 92%/8% negative ratio against Trump. One Network with a 75% bias is not nearly the same as 95% of Media having a 95% bias.

keepthefaith Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 27 minutes ago, ALF said: How did the right , Fox News and Limbaugh treat Obama for 8 years ? Just criticism much of it. Obamacare, bust. Fiscal responsibility, bust (Trump an even bigger bust on this one). Middle East war and foreign policy, bust. Solving illegal immigration to the benefit of Americans, bust. Delivering to minorities on the promise of fundamental transformation, bust. Using many federal agencies for political gain, even criminal, bust. Trump deserves criticism too but the media and the left are so blinded by political hate they've completely forgotten what is the larger role of the Federal Government. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't need a ticket to get into a Trump event. There really aren't "tickets" -- hence why they had 1 million. It's a data collection method -- sign up to reserve a "ticket", requires giving your email and cell number (and you have to confirm both). But when you get to the door, there's no one taking a ticket. It's just a line that you can get in whether or not you signed up for it. Same for Biden's events.

Media fear-porn of violent agitators being present kept the families away (families make up a large part of Trump's past crowds). (with some C thrown in for the elderly who stayed home too -- Trump draws that demo in large numbers traditionally as well) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your experience is probably different, but when I looked it up, they said that indoor events have a limited supply (just over capacity). The official website even warns to make early requests before they run out. Although they do offer outside overflow contingencies. It would make sense, for people who are traveling, to want a guarantee, rather than just an offer of a glimpse in a receiving line. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My experience (just for clarity): I've never been to a rally, but talk to a lot of people in the campaign on a regular basis (and plenty who have gone). So my experience is second hand. 1 minute ago, transplantbillsfan said: Yes. It does. I do it all the time and square up when I'm off track or have been just plain wrong.
