Hillary Clinton Gambles in Choosing Small Events Over Huge Rallies
NBC ^ | May 17, 2016 | Monica Alba

Posted on 06/18/2016 5:49:53 AM PDT by euram

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.

How much of this "tiny rally" strategy is really a "strategy" and how much of it is a natural outcome for a boring, uninspiring, dishonest candidate?

A large event is mortally dangerous for her

She dare not appear ever in a large crowd venue

Bingo. She can’t attract more than a small handful, so they cast it as a planned “strategy.” LMAO.

Yea, that’s the ticket, we’re having small events on purpose. Yea

Hey Hil, go book a football stadium and hear your cackle echo throughout the empty venue

Politicians can afford to do this when they’ve got BIG MONEY backing them.

Let me guess, is she like that singing frog in the Warner Brothers cartoon? Whenever that man brought it out to sing in front of a crowd, it would not sing but utter a frog noise and that would be it.

She’s drawing as big a crowd as she can. Don’t kid yourself, she’d like to be able to draw thousands but she can’t. The only way she can win is through fraud and deception. I hope Trump has started recruiting poll watchers and lawyers to protect the vote in the upcoming election. If not he will be robbed blind as will we who support him.

LOL. So she INTENTIONALLY has small rally’s. It is NOT because she can’t attract a larger crowd. There really is no end to the spinning. Amazing.

Hillary is not charismatic nor brings in the throngs like Obama.

That’s not where she feels at home.

But she’s won plenty of votes - and the Democratic nomination - without seeing more than a few hundred people at a time.

Works well enough for her.

Clinton is so brilliant, she is rewriting campaign strategy—no one has ever thought of this before!

Inspiring! Enigmatic! Groundbreaking!

It’s not a gamble - she can’t allow the larger crowds to take note of the fact that she’s as crazy as an outhouse rat.

Hillary Clinton has no choice....she cannot get many supporters or anyone to attend her boring, uninspiring, politcal rallies. It is now going to get worse....for she (Clinton) is no longer the Democrat nominee for POTUS. That position is now owned 100% by Barack Hussein Obama!!! Clinton falls to the “back bench” hiding in the dark, closet shadows....waiting for Obama to tell her when & what she can speak & do!!!

“Trump” has “Thousands” of highly motivated supporters, at his every rally, of which he has, as of today, had 203 rallies....with two more coming today, in Las Vegas, NV & Phoenix, AZ. Methinks Hillary Clinton is lost-at-sea, thrown overboard by Obama....who is in sheer panic that, what little legacy he has had is now being flushed, properly, down the toilet bowl!!! GO DONALD, J. TRUMP!!!

For this outstanding effort, NBC’s Monica Alba should receive an honorary SpinDoctorate from the Clinton Education Initiative. Or maybe she already has...

I was in a local band once. Thinking back, I guess we chose to play small venues instead of stadiums. Yeah, we had strategy.

Hillary Rotten Criminal learned from her brother-in-law Jeb Bush about why empty rooms don't
play out so good, even this small gathering looks like they've all been told that they've run out of the
complimentary guacamole bowls and they're going to get red solo cups with the !YEB logo instead ...

In other words the witch can't attract not even a fly! She is sour as vinegar!

Or maybe the big venues won’t rent to her because Trump is already pre-booking everything, hahaha. Now that’s some strategy for ya.
