Pence reminds the crowd that "the President stands without apology for the sanctity of hunan life" which is hard to swallow but definitely a pillar of Trump's support

Pence boasts about what are legitimately stellar employment numbers since Trump took office. Also claims rising blue collar wages, to great applause. But drain the swamp gets biggest cheers

Gotta say I'm digging all the booing for socialism at this event. Sorry not sorry

Pence is definitely the Yoko track on a Lennon album. He can't even hold this audience, the largest and most sympathetic he'll see in his career

Trump walks out, taking his time, to "god bless the USA". He looks a little–dare I say it?–low energy

Trump opens bragging about crowd size, claiming (probably correctly) he has more than the democratic candidates put together. He lies about never having empty seats in front of a crowd that can see it's not true

Earlier in this thread you stated the only empty seats were blocked by media island. Assume they were not usable. How can the crowd see empty seats for lack of attendance?

I should have been more precise. Those seats behind the media island were the only empty contiguous block of seats. But there were lots of individual empty seats throughout, you could see them easily from any part of the arena. A bunch of empty box seats, too, for some reason.

So I think it's true that Trump filled the arena, and I believe people were left standing outside. But it was just a weird moment to hear him claim that there was never an empty seat at his things when thousands of people had evidence to the contrary in front of their eyes.
