That is an amazing editorial. The entire piece should be read. Here is the link:

Although the people who need to read it probably won't. Here is the Sentinel's article on the crowd at Trump's rally.

Lines disappeared and arena seats remained before Trump took stage in Orlando

President Trump kicked off his re-election campaign in Orlando on Tuesday night to an Amway Center that was nearly filled to capacity.

The arena has a capacity of about 20,000. In his speech to supporters at Amway, Trump said 120,000 people had requested the free tickets to the event.

Whether it was the weather – hot earlier in the day, rainy in the afternoon – or people just wanting invitations to the historic event for keepsakes, it did appear there were fewer people than were planned. The planned overflow area across from the arena was virtually empty as the rally began inside the arena.

About an hour before Trump was scheduled to speak, thecontinues at long lines snaking around the Amway Center in downtown Orlando were gone and people could easily walk into the event.

A photo taken by an Orlando Sentinel photographer at 7 p.m. showed a large section of empty seats in the upper deck.

As Trump’s speech was about to begin, the arena was nearly full, though.
