From what I understand the 'million' is best kept in quotation marks, actual attendance 10-20K.

Kayleigh said ONE MILLION on twitter but she wouldn't be the first or last blonde to be really bad at math.

When they filed for the permit given estimate beforehand was 10K

every million person walk in DC has been significantly lower,

Sure, although some come closer than others,

And Kayleigh knows that her boss is obsessed with size, so lying about how big something is, a bridge she crossed long ago.

Crowd control was pretty well handled by MPD who don’t act like wanna be Tier 1 assets like the bozos that Barr brought in from the Bureau of Prisons in June.

Still not bad attendance for a man that lost an election...

True.

How it plays out from here we will have to watch.

True story about Obama. When he ran for President the DNC had no real voter contact infrastructure, so he built one outside the party in 2008 and used it in 2012. When Hillary ran he did not give over his database to her, so to the extent she built one, it was from scratch. Not exactly Obama helping the next soldier over the obstacle!

Now Trump has built a tremendous personal following with database to match. I may disagree with their choice but there's no question as to their loyalty to him. How much that loyalty extends to the party or any non-Trump politician, I have questions. But my read of Trump is that he will want to stay the center of focus for as long as possible. That much seems a safe bet, and fair to say not unusual for politicians at that level.

See how many of whom show up for the inauguration. Personally I'd like to see the 'unity' start right after the oath of office if it is Joe.

I doubt Sleepy Joe needs a big inauguration turnout to stoke his ego, especially if the country is 10X deeper in Covid-19 problems, which may well be the case.
