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?

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

You did.

$15 bucks seems sorta paltry too. But for for fiddy someone might have shown up. For a fun ticket they coulda filled the place.

Reminds me of pro wrestling before it got big. Typically matches were held at small venues like the old Sunnyside Gardens in Queens, the Commack Arena on LI, the Hesterly Armory in Tampa, the Olympic Auditorium in LA, places that had at most a 2000 seat capacity. And the arenas were at most only half filled. They would position the cameras and tinker with the audio in such a way as to make these places seem noisier and more crowded than they actually were. Like Her Heinous’ rallies the fake news media can’t pull off that trick with 0bama.

I’d say 1,000 to 1,500 maybe. Guessing they showed maybe 1/3 to 1/2 of the crowd.

Probably so! I hop on several sites every day I sometimes forget where the source is unless I bookmark it. FR and Liberty Daily being my “coffee reading” first thing in the morning.

I have heard there were dozens, maybe as many as 3 dozen.

Not huge like DJT gets, that is certain...

I'm surprised that they didn't u tube the crowd in Atlanta Georgia with Oprah and chubby. no pictures that I've seen...and at a College too...amazing... (Maybe they couldn't get the Gov. candidate to fit in the crowd,)

YEP...HUSSEIN'S STAR HAS LOST ITS LUSTER...

If he were drawing big numbers, the press would be gloating about the numbers. So the lack of them talking about the crowd size speaks volumes. In other words, not very big crowds are attending at all.

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

If there were huge crowds, they most certainly, without a doubt, would be bragging it up and panning the crowd constantly to prove it.
