More media spin to save their candidate.
Nobody wants to come out to see a raving lunatic.

Over the last year, in at least a dozen states, Clinton has dedicated hours and hours to events so small that members of the media often match or outnumber the attendees.
In a primary election where Sanders and Trump continually draw thousands, Clinton has only matched her largest crowd - the campaign's Roosevelt Island launch rally crowd of 5,000 - once.
Though she continues to call out Trump during her rallies - where the capacity rarely exceeds 1,500 - Clinton has notably spent more time engaging voters in intimate, issue-oriented exchanges.

I’m sure this ridiculous article is an attempt by the Democrat media to address uncomfortable questions like, “You say Clinton is leading in the polls, but she can barely draw a crowd. How is this possible?”
She’s a coward. Her handlers know she’s a rigged shoo-in. That she ccan’t answer any tough question that might actually be lobbed her way.
And her bona fide supporters are few in number
So they arrange these small events and stack the background with “diverse” elements, in particular ugly, angry old white lesbians
And/or they don’t want to spend the money to pay the “supporters” to fill the bigger venues, at least not now.
“Hillary! Unplugged.”
My goodness, she can’t even fill a basketball court with supporters?
I’ve a feeling that once the campaign gets going for real, after the conventions, her unlikability is going to become a major factor in the election.
Here is a woman who gets all kinds of kudos for supposedly breaking new ground, showing what a strong woman can accomplish—and she has never accomplished anything in her life unless she used a man to put her there. While there is nothing wrong with women getting men to do things for them that they cannot do themselves, it is highly disingenuous of a woman to pretend that she really did all that stuff herself.
Hillary is no example of women’s abilities.
“...events so small...”
Strategy? lol!!! This is just more leftist propaganda media lies spinning these pitiful attendance numbers as a “strategy”.
If the media wasn’t there at these events no one would even have any idea they were taking place!
I literally pray that the media would stop propping her up.
Yep, she is scared to death about half-empty arenas and Bernie supporters.
They may be able to manipulate the voters using the MSM and all signs and lying wonders of the TV, Facebook news and google pimping internet searches, but they still can’t force anyone to like her when there is actually nothing there to like, only someones own selfish agendas reflected back and which are too nebulous to personalize very many into waving a flag at a campaign rally,
The Clinton’s are caricatures of every quid pro quo corrupt self-aggrandizing slick talking well connected dishonest politician that ever was, except she by herself is not all that ‘slick’ and never had Bill’s now withering prowess,
No manner of false narratives and puff pieces is gonna cover that up and even when her ‘supporters’ vote for her, there’s still a bitter taste left behind, its hard to get exited about taking a spoonful of medicine.
Pravda was probably less obvious in its coverage of Soviet leaders than American mainstream media now.
We can probably expect many more similar themed lemonade from lemon pro Hillary articles from the other msm in the near future. Nbc leads the pack. How can these journalists wake up and look at themselves in the mirror is astonishing to me. Drag a hunded dollar bill through a msm newsroom, ... :-(
Choosing by A$$! She more than likely cannot fill these large events, and she’s simply trying to spare herself an embarrassing situation!
“Choosing by A$$!”
Should be:
Choosing MY A$$!
small, staged, and scripted for tv.
she just can’t think on her feet quick enough to compete with even a 74 yoa socialist.
my bet is trump will have her crying
This bitch couldn’t get a large crowd if she gave away free puppies!!!
Her primary tours to Iowa were disasters.
She thinks she can low-key her way into the White House by letting her sycophant media pick up the slack.
She has to pay the few people that come to her events and they have to be told when to clap and cheer.
I don’t think she can draw more than a couple thousand people. I see no excitement about her, even from my liberal coworkers and associations. I don’t think I have even seen a bumper sticker for her, and I live in Connecticut.
She knows the “boos” would outnumber the “please claps” if she didn’t tightly control who got in.
Considering who the bulk of her constituency is, dead people generally don’t show up at political rallies.
