3000! Do I see 3000? Yup! My biased lenses allows me to see 3000 people attending the Hillary Clinton speech in Scranton, Pennsylvania yesterday where Vice President Joe Biden also made an appearance.
The funny thing about the election campaign so far is how few 360 degree visuals we get of the campaign crowds so the public can actually gauge the turnout for themselves. Your humble correspondent was at a Donald Trump speech last Wednesday at the BB&T Center in the Fort Lauderdale area and it was completely filled up except for the nosebleed rafters which were closed off to the public. I estimate the crowd was about 15,000 but if I am wrong, it couldn't possibly have been less than 10,000. An impressive number either way. However the local Sun-Sentinel newspaper merely reported a crowd size of "thousands." Meanwhile the mainstream media has been reporting that 3000 people appeared at Clinton's Scranton speech. Well, watch a rare 360 degree view of the crowd below and judge for yourself.

She draws in the tens of dozens, if that much.
Media reports “only” 400 showed up for Trump (but don’t mention the 8k that got turned away).
Also, a Trump rally of less than 3,000 would be a shocker. Well, unless the demscum politicians limited the crowd to less than that as happened in Columbus, Ohio: http://www.newsnet5.com/news/national/donald-trump-fire-marshall-limited-the-crowd-size-in-columbus
Just announce by FOX at ILLary rally: she had 500 there. Don’t know if they were counting the press!
Does this kasich fool need more free eats? The idiot was eating all the time when running for office.
Bandwagon Effect: “Comrades! I have glorious news for you! Hillary is soaring, Trump imploding!”
CNN, Weekly Standard, et al.
Who you gonna believe? The MSM or your lyin’ eyes?
By logical extension, if the Uniparty’s Ministry of Truth organs would misrepresent things we can easily see, like crowd sizes, why would their Ministry of Statistics hesitate to present “scientific polls” to an unsuspecting public as gospel which lie about the same things?
The size of Trump's rallies and his enormous popularity on social media completely belies the MSM narrative.
Tin Kaine was here in Asheville yesterday, a liberal bastion, and reportedly had about 300 people but it was a small venue. Reports some people couldn’t get in but I doubt it.
Why...I believe she has billions (if not trillions) at each rally. I’m, of course, referring to the stray e-coli crawling all over her from her industrial strength Depends.
“Scientific polls”= inductive “scientific polls” using easily manipulated sampling methods not subject to replication testing
Doesn’t matter.....she’s ahead in the poles.
That may be, but what matters are the polls!
ILLary — I *LIKE* it. Let’s try to get that meme going!!!
PS It probably did count the press, but at this point, what difference does it make? /snark
Nope. The only poll that matters is in November!
It’s a good post, but caution:
For the Primary in California Bernie’s crowds were ENORMOUS. Hillary’s were TINY.
Yet Hillary BEAT Bernie in Calif by a mile.
Really, REALLY shocked me.
Rallies get them nominated.
Sound bites, clever opponent mockery get them elected.
Empty rallies don’t matter.
Not kidding.
But, look at the placement of the TV cameras, and the guy doing a "Live Report". Wouldn't do to show the proles how empty the rest of the place is.
Yeah, I've been saying the same thing about Romney in 2012... Plenty of FR articles (and no, FR posting police, I'm not going to hunt up links again. Either believe me or do your own #$@#$ homework... :-) ) talking about rallies with big lines outside, etc etc. No way Romney could lose, this one was in the bag....
We see how that turned out.
I'm just trying to stay out of the echo chamber that FR becomes during elections. I got badly fooled by BO in 2012, won't get fooled again.
