MSM Vastly Overestimates Hillary Crowd Size
NewsBusters ^ | August 16, 2016 | P.J. Gladnick

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.

the video would have had more impact if it wasn’t edited and a full 360 scan was done

it could have been taken from a scaffold, the side views are edited out

i’m not saying it’s a false video, I am just saying the optics of it look questionable because of the snipping.

The CA primary was early this summer after Trump locked up the nomination and the Hildabeast was looking inevitable.

CANDIDATES VOTE PCT. DELEGATES
Hillary Clinton
2,713,259 53.4%
269
Bernie Sanders 2,326,030 45.7

She won the usual lefty enclaves. The rest of the state is up for grabs.
She won Fresno county over communist Bernie, man, that’s really shocking, huh?

It is a picture of Hillary’s speech at Texas Southern University in June.

The toilets took up more space than the crowd.

The MSM said Hillary had won the delegate count. People didn’t vote.

Rule of thumb for porta-potties for 3000 people...1 hr. event 7...2 hr. event 9...3 hr. event 12.

Curious though...why would they need them unless facility had no restrooms? What sports facility does not have restrooms?

Media reports “only” 400 showed up for Trump (but don’t mention the 8k that got turned away).

Fact: At Tampa Bay Convention Center, "only" 3000 were at the rally-Bay News 9. Later on, Oops! 5,000 were turned away.

That might be a security issue. Too many nooks and crannies in the building’s bathrooms — recall Godfather II.
