So why was Trump's rally in Tulsa, so poorly attended and what WAS the correct number of attendees?

Not K-Pop/TikTokers either. All they might have done is trick Trump's campaign staff into touting the high number of tickets reserved so they looked like dupes when the attendance was so sparse. Parscale even denied that was the case.
So IMO, it was only the fact that COVID is getting worse in OK and the surrounding Red States now and people didn't want to take the chance.
Now let's see if the event proves to be a super-spreader despite the tiny crowd.

but I predict this will be an election where the polls are nearly meaningless.

is that minorities are fighting for their life and future; rednecks are fighting for hate! In the final analysis in face of any adversity rednecks will stay home but minorities will show up in troves!!! More proverbial nooses are hung more minorities will show up!
Just check what happened in recent primary in Georgia!!  

So that SHOULD address your point, but nonetheless, it is interesting from a slightly different perspective.  

The venue was hardly filled to capacity, but it also was not 2/3rd empty, It was more like 2/3 thirds full which would put the number closer to 12,000 than 6,000, still a disappointing number by Trumps standards, but many thousands more than Joe Biden would have been able to draw.

but I did watch a lot of it on TV, and the arena was more than a third of the way full, lot of empty seats yes, but not 2/3 thirds empty. I lived in the Tampa Bay area when the Bucs were only winning 2 games a year, I know what an empty stadium looks like. lol

The official count from TFD was 6,2000.  I will rely on them and certainly not a limited view from selective and friendly camera angles or the total bullshit machine the Trump campaign is.

Righties fall all over themselves praising firefighters and police.  But Trump (through Murtaugh) throws them under the bus the first chance he gets.

gets bashed and called a failure for ONLY having 6000+ attendees at a rally in the middle of a pandemic, while Joe is lucky to get a few hundred out when he appears in public.  No matter how you slice it, there's still an enthusiasm gap among respective supporters.

Which only ran tight shots, not crowd shots. So if you watched on Fox you might have thought the place was full.
Fox Lies.

1) Biden hasn't had a rally post COVID because he's not reckless.
2) It's no way of gauging enthusiasm. For example, Biden out-fundraised Trump last month.
How 'bout that????
3) Lots of lefties were out protesting Trump and police violence all across the country, if you want to measure lefty enthusiasm for change. How many of those folks will be voting for Trump.
You are blind as a bat.

campaign speeches and public appearances.  Are you saying that because of the low public turnout, then by definition, they can't be called rallies?  Actually, I would buy that excuse, . . . . . . er I mean . . . . . "explanation."  

when we argue with an idiot.  He has no capacity to see your point.  The best we could hope for is; ending up only mildly frustrated with his stupidity.

A great number of "protesters" were getting paid . . . . . by way of the loot they were stealing under cover of protesting against the police.  When they were interviewing protesters at these events, I heard very little about Trump.  It was all about the Police, so I think your overreach in saying they were "our protesting Trump and police violence" is more Lib wishful thinking.  If you think voters are going to support Liberal change that includes looting, seizing property owned by others, and violence against small businesses, you need to lay off the crack.

just above this post.  I rest my case.

I didn't suggest all the protesters supported Biden and you know it. ALL I said was it was a gauge of general "enthusiasm," and that I doubted any would vote for Trump.
You need to get on some Sodium Pentathol.

You HATE cops, but you LOVE firefighters. I am so glad we have that cleared up, so I am sure if someone breaks into your home and robs you, your first call will be to the fire department, right?

They should have waiting until the general to pull this shit. Now we know.

Not show up. Imagine they could have breathed the same air as their master. But this rally will not have an impact on the election as Trump is still a dangerous opponent for Biden and if Biden fucks up and loses the moderate voters then it’s four more years. The Tulsa rally has about as much meaning as a preseason football game.

And by some here...:cough cough: Some here shot their load when it hit 300,000 and then they lost their minds when it hit 1mil...we all know who it was...lol.
But it wasn't the Covid pandemic, they didn't even wear mask so you know they don't believe it's real. So that's wasn't it.
It wasn't those scrawny punk ass pencil neck geeks protesters who scared them away. If it was then I have the crazed gun toting trump supporters all wrong. They had me fooled. If trump supporter were that intimated then it shows that they're all talk. But I don't think that was it.
I think this pretty much says it all by Lori S.
"People are just over it. They're over his mouth, they're over his everything about him and his whole bit, that they're ready for any kind of change."

No one wants to hear this tired old bullshit anymore..His clown act has lost it's luster..

Trump NEEDS his crowds to rile them and himself up. He can't communicate by the written word (essays, Op Eds, books ... which are ll written by ghostwriters, anyway) because his base doesn't read. Even Trump finds speeches written for him by staff that he reads from a teleprompter are dull and boring ... and quickly contradicted in his follow up tweets. News conferences and briefings are not effective when there are reporters there to expose his lies or to ask him embarrassing, unanswerable  questions.  
.
The big, friendly arenas with single-minded supporters are Trump's "safe place". He can rock and rant and lie to his base and draw strength from their mindless chants: "Lock her up!" "Build the wall!" He can spew his stupid shit ("That's my African-American!" "The lyin' fake news ... you know who they are." etc.) and get applause, not push-back.
.
Most other candidates don't have that singular need.  

telling photos of Trump I have ever seen, was posted by Nick, yesterday.  Man, did Trump look completely defeated and totally drained!  If he was not such a dirt bag, I would have almost, I said almost, feel sorry for him.  What a dejected, pitiful, human being!

I am not! GaG is a pathetic excuse of ha uman being with no clue about social order, fairness and more importantly the principles on which this country was built.  
His response to any debate is any of the following or a combination there of:
1. Dance around to distract and fake balanced responses  
2. Scratch the other posters like a monkey when people see through his monkey brain shit
3. Bark like a dog to get attention and dramatize the conversation  
4. Escape or blame everyone else like Trump or Rush do for everything every
and don’t forget his tied at the tail monkey partner Cock Devouring Leech ... that one’s ‘no brain’ should be frozen and kept in the museum to show future generations the oddity of how a brainless person could still walk around .... lol!
