Take a good look at the photo below of the audience at Hillary's Reno speech today. What is interesting, besides the SMALL size of the audience, is that a whole bunch of them are wearing AFGE shirts. That stands for American Federation of GOVERNMENT Employees. That's right, they work for the government.
So the obvious question, since the speech was in the middle of the day, Reno time, is were those employees being paid while attending her speech? IOW, were they watching her speech on the taxpayer's dime?
Trumps people would not even consider a venue so small for one of his rallies.
Hillary prefers small rallies so she can bus in sycophants who will not heckle her highness.
Hillary is grating and cannot lead; it will be a disaster if she is elected.
It’s important to remember FDR thought the idea of a union for government employees ridiculous. Additionally at the Federal level they could be gone via an executive order since it was JFK’s executive order that let them in in the first place.
But don’t you think that list was MORE THAN ENOUGH to fill up Hillary’s piddling little rally?
Just the Harry Reid office would probably be enough.
I count 12 rows and estimates 20 across in the foreground. That’s 240 attendees. Add another 120 in the bleacher seating behind the podium, and miscellaneous standees, etc., and attendance is fewer than 400.
If I was in that narrow room, I would get a panic attack from claustrophobia. Claustrophobia is one of my after-effects from serving years on a U.S. Navy destroyer. The Youtube video made it look like a Trump-sized rally. This is part of the false optics of the Democrats that gives me another panic attack: the effects from my first exposure to der Hildebeast when she brought her Hillarycare bus rally to Seattle in 1994. It gave me feelings of rage at the sound of her voice like a fire cracker causes a shell-shocked veteran to drop and cover.
Drop and cover, folks.
It’s a superb system for politicians.
Unionize govt employees.
Give them big raises.
Govt employees donate to and vote for Democrats.
And repeat....
She had a rally in a hallway?
I watched it and would have never guessed it was so small.
I guess that was by design.
you couldn’t pay me enough to listen to that voice.
> Potemkin Rally.
Excellent!
That’s the meme. Spread it around.
Only 250 there?
The worst example is the treasury employee’s union they’re the ones responsible for the politicization of the IRS.
It worked great for Evan Bayh here in Indiana.
He unionized the state employees, and gave them big raises from the lottery that had recently been adopted. Turned them into his personal campaign fund and lobbying force.
Eventually the party was over and Mitch Daniels flushed the unions. Then we passed RTW.
It would, if they supported her.
There are many more than that.
The right side of the room is probably 30 feet deeper than you can see. This area used to be the auto shop for the community college. Still small crowd.
60-100 behind the podium.
12 seats x 8 rows = 96
X 2 sections = 192
So add another 18 for press corp
From the pix, l’m guessing she has turned out about 300
Government employees voting themselves more of your money.
Hmmmn. Put the crowd in folding chairs ... so they spread out and fill a small hall even easier.
I am familiar with the Truckee-Meadow Community hall. It is narrow with a hallway width balcony on the side. According to local video the audience was less than enthusiastic. Many looked rather sullen and/or disinterested. She walked carefully as if the floor was covered with black ice. She smiled, waved and pointed up high in an area where there were no people.
Will a Clinton lie?
