Seems kinda weird that a major party candidate can’t hold the attention of his most loyal supporters this close to the election.
This is just a shitty, chopped up rehost of the original WaPo story with zero added analysis. Here are some actual interview responses:
Some said they wanted to beat traffic or had work the next day. Others complained about sound quality. One man wanted to go home to his French bulldog. Another needed to get home to his daughter. A third had a Yorkie with him that started acting out. A fourth man said his phone died.
In Las Vegas, some attendees grew frustrated with Trump’s tardiness and said they had trouble hearing him. A reporter standing by the door counted more than 200 people leaving in the first 20 minutes. One attendee said they still loved Trump but said the former president would have said “You’re fired” if anyone else had been as late as he was.
Chaboya said he arrived about 8:30 a.m. and, like Prescott, was among the last to be let into the venue. He said he was leaving because his daughter, who is home-schooled, called him and said the internet wasn’t working.
This is pure, uncut confirmation bias aimed at salivating Harris voters. The only person who said they left because they were voting for Harris is the only person mentioned by RawStory. The rest had other, less clickbait-y reasons.
Yeah it’s not the big “Gotcha!” people want it to be
There’s always some funny little detail to learn though… It’s pretty funny Trump has poor sound quality
I would change the link now, but for some reason every time I try to link to the Washington post, it fails to post properly on lemmy. It’s extremely consistent and seems to be limited to juet the Washington post. Unsure why it happens
I mean…
The guy won’t shut the fuck up
and his rallies skew old af
…they gotta pee
Yeah Trump not only tests his supporters’ loyalty but also their schedules. There are only a handful of things I would line up for hours in advance, and then still to wait another several hours sounds like an ordeal more than anything.
