Dozens line up outside Tulsa arena days before weekend Trump rally

More than 48 hours before President Trump is set to take the stage for his first campaign rally in three months, supporters are lining up outside the venue in Tulsa, Oklahoma, awaiting entry.
“So, you are prepared to sit out here for five to six days?†asked a reporter for local television station KFOR, speaking to someone at the front of the line on Thursday.
“We’re here till after the rally," a woman replied.
Trump's rally at the BOK Center in Tulsa on Saturday is the first his campaign has held since the coronavirus pandemic. He said earlier this week that the campaign had received nearly a million requests for tickets to the event. The BOK Center holds just under 20,000.

The event, originally scheduled for Friday, was postponed by one day after the campaign was hit with charges of insensitivity toward black people. June 19 is Juneteenth, the annual celebration of the end of slavery in America.
Separately, Trump's team has been admonished by public health experts, Democrats, and some in the media for creating a potential " super-spreader" event that could lead to a spike in coronavirus cases in the city.
“I think it’s an honor for Tulsa to have a sitting president want to come and visit our community, but not during a pandemic,†Tulsa City-County Health Department Director Bruce Dart told the Tulsa World this week. “I’m concerned about our ability to protect anyone who attends a large, indoor event, and I’m also concerned about our ability to ensure the president stays safe as well.â€
On Monday, the campaign said it would give temperature checks, a face mask, and hand sanitizer to every rally attendee.
Video and photos taken outside the arena show Trump supporters gleeful with excitement for the president's first rally since January.

The main focus from the MSM will be the rise in COVID cases after the rally. They will all of course be blamed on Trump and how irresponsible he was for doing a rally. No doubts.
I believe this will be the largest Trump rally on record.

Dozens?

Dozens?
On a Thursday? Yes. The rally is on Saturday. Nice try.

Really?
We already know Trump can turn out his base.
I think Trump realizes that he needs to grow it, and that it needs to look more like the demographic composition of America.
I'll give him credit. He's trying.

I believe the democrats, antifa and blm are giving him a whole lot of assistance, as well as Sundowners Joe everytime he opens his mouth I think as more and more democrats realize that if they vote for the Biden ticket it will be his running mate they are actually electing president and I doubt the VP pick will be a palatable choice for most of them.

I think some of the recent special elections and the apparent enthusiasm on our side give us cause for optimism.

IF he wants to grow his base then he needs to take the bull by the horns and stop all this insanity of dismantling our police departments and allowing thugs to take over portions of the cities.

I agree @skeeter I think the red, not blue, wave in the special election cycle is very good news.
I also think the President receiving more votes in the primaries (even after securing the nomination) than the democrat nominee AND the last three presidents received in their reelection primaries also speaks high of the level of enthusiasm on our side!
I sound like a broken record ... but we've got to learn to trust our own eyes ... not the media's reports.

What the heck do you mean "if". He's been doing it steadily for four years .... the increase in minority support and the turnout at rallies of independents and democrats alongside their republican brothers and sisters is the evidence.
And I'm guessing the President is familiar with grabbing the horns.

I have to keep reminding myself. Its a challenge given the 24/7 media bombardment.

I happen to think the democrats are going to be shocked at the number of blacks (and democrats in general) that Trump steals from them on his way to wining re-election. :yowsa:

Democrats lost Leo Terrell—he won’t be voting for Biden after his “you ain’t black†pander. LEO TERRELL!
I’m not sure if he said he’s voting Trump, though. But, it’s a start. Democrats –1

That was then. This is now. What is happening around the country is a focus on White superiority and Black sufferage. There is a push for the police force to be disbanded and defunded. Portions in a couple of cities have been taken over by the thugs.
Trump has made some threats regarding containing the riots and did nothing -- the issue has gotten worse, not better.
Hopefully he is prepared for the pushback from the rioters that will undoubtedly be at his rally ... why would they hesitate? He's done nothing but backpedal on his words.
I want Trump to succeed. I want to retain our Republic. Have no doubt. I love the energy of his rallies and I am hoping that this rally will be his largest and best and that it will be peaceful and uneventful ... but I also can see what's been happening around the country with the BLMers and Antifa and the liberal bat crap crazies.
