VANITY: There's NOTHING on Obama, Gillum & Nelson Rally Crowd Size Today in Fla.
CBS News ^ | 11/2/18 | Self (Somewhat)

Posted on 11/02/2018 2:19:36 PM PDT by SilvieWaldorfMD

Watched Obama on all three cable news channel networks (they'll all air his diatribe, but will not give one minute to Trump and his rallies unless you switch to CPAN-3, and if you're lucky, they're airing an actual Trump rally in real time!) and I could not gauge crowd size. Cameras did not pan out. Ne'er a peep about this in the media.

I've been looking EVERYWHERE to see how many people showed up to this gabfest by diarrhea-mouth. Same thing in Georgia, since Obama held a rally for Abrams at Morehouse College today. Not a peep about crowd size - even though there were allegations floating on CraigsList that people were getting paid $15 bucks to attend.

I've attached a link to a CBS News article about the FL rally today with Obama, Gillum & Nelson - but no mention of the crowd size.

Thoughts?

Because he gets tiny numbers and the commie media will NEVER talk about that. President Trump can announce today a rally somewhere and 20,000 people will sign up to attend..Crazy ol Bernie Sanders campaigned for Gillum and got 20 people to show up LOL pathetic

The 0bomb had opposition demonstrators in the house but they were reluctant to eject them lest it make the crowd look too small.

It’s amazing. It feels like 2016 all over again.

I wonder the same thing myself. I saw a clip of Obama’s speech on Fox news, and I noticed that they never panned around to show the crowd in the auditorium.

Did I read somewhere they were paying students $15 to attend?

Rush said Trump came out and started to talk to reporters during Obama speech and the networks went to Trump—haha.

I wonder if that was a plant. Trump has drawn a few real hecklers and plays them to his benefit. I think Obammy was copying him. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a heckler at an Obama rally before unless it was someone even farther left. Obama’s schtick used to be the swooners.

You will never hear about crowd size at an Obama rally. I watched a few minutes of the Obama rant and, I can tell if there was more then a few hundred people there, at the most!!! Obama has lost his touch and is just trying to go through the motions.

You have to remember the Democrats have no one, and I mean no one that can generate & fire up a huge crowd!!! The perfect storm befell us this afternoon...folks, with Shepard Smith, Chris Wallace of FNC & their fellow buddies over at CNN & MSNBC...all fawning over the failed POUTUS Barack Hussein Obama. The truth...Obama was nothing to write ho,e about...period!!!

The rally in Georgia was in basketball stadium at Morehouse college. Maximum capacity is only 6,000 people. I doubt he got even a third of that. Sorry, No blue wave!

This guy Gillum is REALLY bad news: According to a report by Aaron Klein of Brietbart.

Gillum directed a radical youth training organization whose mission was:

<><> to challenge U.S. “predatory capitalism,”

<><> abolish the prison system,

<><> fight a “spiritual resistance”

<><> battle against “Christian hegemony,”

<><> redefine the meaning of “borders” while aiding “undocumented” aliens,

<><> enact the “collective liberation” of “communities of color” amid the scourge of “white supremacy.”

Gillum’s group accused the US of

<><> being a “colonialist” power

<><> perpetrating “structural violence” and “continued genocide”

<><> blamed conservatives in the U.S. judicial system as “justifying white supremacist policing practices.”

The thousands of adoring crowds Obama gets (/sarc).

A paltry 193 showed up to hear Biden in L/V.

Typical Trump overflow rally.

Stream all Trump rallies live on right side broadcasting network. We just watched the rally in W V. It’s free, though they do ask for donations, since they are doing so many rallies these last days of the campaign. The next rally in Indianapolis is starting in about an hour. They do a fine job with no talking heads or commercials to interrupt the speech.

300 or so, and that’s just judging from the hoots and hollers he had to solicit

4 or 5 deep behind the podium, looks like maybe 10 deep in an abbreviated front (you can catch the front crowd at the very beginning as Nelson comes on and at the very very last, as Zero passes to the right and then up and out.)

When they keep a tight shot on the podium, it usually means the crowd isn’t that impressive.

obama keeps going to schools where he can more support, or a larger crowd size, and that is not even working for him.

We cannot get any media outlets minus One America News who will air all of Trumps rallies in live time.
Thank you One America News.
