Trump campaign
manager Brad Parscale said Sunday that several hundred thousand people have
requested tickets for President Trump’s looming
Oklahoma rally, while some public health officials are fretting over the rally
and Mr. Trump’s
return to the campaign trail amid the coronavirus outbreak.
“Just passed 800,000 tickets,” Mr. Parscale tweeted on
Sunday morning. “Biggest data haul and rally signup of all time by 10x.
Saturday is going to be amazing!”
Mr. Parscale previously tweeted that the campaign was
looking to add a second event in Oklahoma to accommodate the throngs of people
eager to see the president.
Mr. Trump’s coming
rally in Oklahoma on Saturday has rankled some public health officials that
worry about the spread of coronavirus. Dr. Scott Gottlieb, former Food and Drug
Administration commissioner until 2019, told CBS on Sunday that he does not
think holding the rally is a good idea.
...
Mr. Trump’s team
has not heeded Dr. Gottlieb’s advice but it has encouraged those attending the
Oklahoma event to take proper precautions.
...
The campaign is also
requiring people who wish to attend the rally to waive the Trump campaign’s
liability if the rally-goers get coronavirus.

The Enthusiasm Gap
By John Hinderaker | POWERLINE
Are Democrats fired up for the 2020 election? Undoubtedly. But are they as fired up as Republicans? I don’t think so. A number of polls have found more intensity on the GOP side, but what makes me think of this question is (via InstaPundit) this headline: Trump campaign says ticket requests for Oklahoma rally surpass 800,000. That’s enthusiasm!
Then there is the fact that, even though there was no
race on the Republican side, primary vote totals for President Trump often
exceeded the combined totals for all Democratic presidential candidates, and
easily surpassed the numbers cast for President Obama in 2012. This happened
recently in Georgia, but it was true when there was still a genuine contest on
the Democratic side, too.
Michael Moore and I were two of the very few pundits who
predicted Trump’s win in 2016. Now Moore is warning Democrats not to
underestimate the intensity of the Republican base’s support for the president,
as Trump himself tweeted:
Michael Moore: I‘m
‘Begging‘ Dems -- Don‘t Underestimate White Male Trump Supporter‘s ‘Rage,‘
‘Emotion‘
Friday on MSNBC, liberal documentary filmmaker
Michael Moore begged Democrats not to underestimate that President Donald
Trump's voters are white men in "rage." | Clips

“Rage” is liberal-speak for the deep concern so many of us share that the Democrats’ far-left, anti-American agenda would destroy our country. It translates into voter intensity.
The Democrats know they can’t match Republicans’
eagerness to go to the polls, so they have come up with an alternative–no one
goes to the polls. Instead, we have a mail-in vote system in which many
millions of ballots are mailed to people who have died, moved or are ineligible
to vote. Those ballots will fall into a wide variety of hands, but the
Democrats know that law-abiding Republicans won’t fill them out and
fraudulently send them back. Many Democrats will.
In order to combat voter fraud, Republicans need a wide
advantage in voter enthusiasm. At the moment, I think they have it.
