Trump/O'Really? - so many empty seats that organizers closed the top bowl of the stadium.

"Thousands of people donned their red baseball caps or favorite Donald Trump T-shirts in the FLA Live Arena in Sunrise Saturday afternoon to see the former president and conservative darling Bill O’Reilly," the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reports. The crowd chanted, 'Let’s go, Brandon' while waiting for the two to appear. ... Many seats remained empty in the cavernous arena. The top level was closed and ticket buyers were 'upgraded' to the lower bowl."

Saturday's event was the first of four that are part of Trump's "History Tour" with O'Reilly. The tour continues Sunday in Orlando, where ticket sales have also reportedly been slow, before moving on to Houston and Dallas next weekend.

The newspaper also notes that "members of the Proud Boys white nationalists — a group that has resorted to political violence to achieve its ends — were present."

What’s the point? Are these folks so addicted that they have to get their anger fix? It’s really perplexing.
