I said they were well attended. Because they were. If that's your sole metric for a success, ok then. I didn't say they were paid off to go against their beliefs and rage about Trump. I said many were paid to be there, because indeed many were.
The Army birthday celebration was also successful in what it set out to do. Celebrate the men and women of the army and foster patriotism.
Neither one did anything to change a damn thing about the political chasm in this country.
But rage on!
