Hillary Clinton plays to raucous but HALF-EMPTY arena at black university as she claims opponents want to 'disempower and disenfranchise people of color'

Hillary Clinton closed a three-day campaign fundraising swing through Texas and New Mexico on Thursday with a rare public appearance at Texas Southern University in Houston and a stemwinder on voting rights.

She took no questions and spoke with no reporters, but angrily complained that Texas voters can present their concealed-carry gun permits as a voter ID, but not their college student identification cards.

Clinton was received with wild applause at the historically black college, but organizers arranged the 8,100-seat basketball arena so that three-quarters of the seats were roped off and empty.

They added rows of chairs on the floor, but 15-foot-tall blue curtains draped all around blocked the view of entire sections of empty seats, leaving the impression that Clinton couldn't fill the room.

The university didn't provide a crowd count, but an arena security official estimated that there were 2,200 in attendance.

She advocated leapfrogging the states' laws, with Washington, D.C. forcing them to implement universal, automatic voter registration for all citizens.

Yet another brilliant plot from 2000 - Hillary Calls For End To Electoral College

.......but not their college student identification cards.

Um.....because illegal alien 'students' carry them?

What a pandering b#@ch. JEES!

She shoulda blamed that Joo in the White House

2,200. No press. She Who Must Be Obeyed continues downward slide.

Wouldn't leaving the empty seats visible leave that impression?

Poor Hillary!!!

Somebody send her an email!

2200 is half of 8000. Must be a common core reporter.

They've already been rendered livestock by their pigressive democrat herders, so how could they be "disempowered and disenfranchised" more than they already have been.

[Norm Lenhart]

It’s a contextually semantic thing. Orwell explained it well in 1984. Doublespeak at it’s finest. If a Dem says a word, it’s Gospel. If a non liberal says a word in the very same context, it’s from Satan personally.

Note to self. Stock up on popcorn on next trip to supermarket.

[pepsionice]

If you add up the cost of the arena...with security and everything figured into this....and you only fill 2,000 of the 8,000 seats....there’s something wrong.

I’d say her campaign staff has screwed up big-time and it’s a bad sign to show this type of problem seven months before any primary.

Half empty? Try 3/4 empty! What did she have to do to bus in the few people stupid enough to show up?

[Norm Lenhart]

I think the truth is that her whole base has always been the illusion many people suspected and it is ALL astroturf.

I mean look at DU. When slick over there posted his little picture backing hillary, he had a damn near mutiny. I think the arena was that empty because she does not have enough cash even with the clinton foundation, to fill them all and she cannot go from full to empty to full to empty without being obvious even to her droids that it’s all a lie.

So she will play until she is paid to go away.

As well as legal-resident foreigners and out-of-state students who can vote in their home state.

[Gaffer]

As with any Democrat, she relies on parts of what she said to be true. Regular American citizen students would want to use their student IDs, only natural. They’re just not the ones she’s concerned about. They can come up with another legal citizen ID. But not illegals and resident aliens. The fact remains that you can never get the whole truth out of a Democrat - ever.

Hillary lacks charisma. Her messages are boring, that is, tedious and repetitious. It looks like her strategy is to survive as the choice Democrat nominee, and get her name on the ballet.

Many, many low information voters are ready to vote for her because she held important positions like Senator and Secretary of State. Plus she earned the right to be President because she was the First Lady. These “voters” could care less about the “details” of her “alleged” scandals.

If Hillary is the nominee all she has to do is to get out the vote by ensuring early registration, elongate the voting period from one day to twenty days, allow early voting, etc. We are Venezuela!

[doosee]

Funny she forgot to mention the Black Panthers systematic actions to stop whites from voting. She is pure evil and her eyes should glow red.

[Tax-chick]

So true.

[driftless2]

I suggest Hillary donning blackface ala Al Jolson to try and reel in those black voters looking for a worthy successor to King Barack. She’s already trying to speak like a black person...might as well try and look like one. I’m sure those tactics would work.
