(Flashback): Hillary Clinton Draws The Biggest Crowd Of Any 2016 Hopeful for NYC Rally
Politicuusa ^

Posted on 08/02/2016 1:25:53 PM PDT by MNDude

The previous unofficial record was set by Bernie Sanders at his campaign stop in Minnesota and his campaign launch in Vermont. The biggest crowd that Sanders has drawn so far is 4,000. Hillary Clinton smashed that record today with an overflow audience at Four Freedoms Park. T

The crowd is so large that a separate overflow viewing area has been set up for those who can’t make it into the park to see Clinton in person.

If the goal was a picturesque show of overwhelming support for the former Sec. of State, they got it. The enthusiasm was buzzing in the air, as the media myth that there was not a grassroots buzz about the Clinton campaign was put to rest.

It is not a coincidence that the biggest crowds drawn by any candidate in 2016 have all come from Democrats. Republicans can talk about their “deep bench” all day long, but when it comes to boots on the ground, Democratic candidates are drawing the big crowds.

I never heard of this site, but they clearly like to lie. The picture they use has a close up on the “crowd” to make it look full, but I can only see a couple hundred in that picture.

Pictures or it didn’t happen

(How did they get over a hundred to show up....were they promising free weed or something?)

Hey how about this one yesterday where Hillary yells “Raise taxes on the middle class!” to great applause by Warren Buffet

That’s from a year ago when she first announced for the presidency.

I remember that from last year, there were people with cellphone cameras showing the overflow area and it looked pretty empty.

Propaganda. Plain and simple. Notice how they only provided three photos and all provide the same limited view. If it were a Trump rally, the photos would have to be taken far back from the crowd with a wide angle lense to fit everybody into the frame. Based upon what I can see, it appears there might be a hundred people at Hillary’s event. And they were probably paid to be there or bussed in.

There were 16,000 at the Trump rally in Lynden, Washington in May.

I waited in line for an hour and a half with the line being eight blocks long.

The people I was walking with just barely got in. They were letting in groups of 50 and cut it off after one more group. Many others were left outside the gates straining to hear.

Not that Washington state has much to contribute to the electoral college, but this was in a tiny town just shy of the Canadian border. Shillary’s rally that they are touting was in a huge city.

Went to that site, saw maybe a couple hundred people in the photos.
No distance shots to gauge overall crowd size at all.

I'll immediately call BS on this 'story'.
More Enemedia desperation.

Are you trolling or what? The story was from June 2015!! Sanders was hardly in the race at that point.
Plus, her name is Hillary NOT Hilary.

Is this the news blog that issues you a bong and a dime bag when you start working there?

Whatever. Four Freedoms Park is on the tip of Roosevelt Island in NYC’s East River. So, they either had a captive audience or the brought them in by tram or subway. Either way, highly controlled event. Trust me, nobody was skipping work to head to Roosevelt Island to watch Hillary. BTW, PoliticsUSA is an ultra leftist site so I anticipate they would spin this as a Simon and Garfunkel on the Great Lawn type event.

1) article is from June 2015 days before Trump even entered the race

2) Trump has smashed this “record” many times, by several multiples

PoliticusUSA was founded in February of 2008 by Jason Easley. Jason had a vision of a liberal and independent news site which would offer a mix politics and opinion in an unfiltered environment, not beholden to any specific political or media agenda.

Just saying.
