What a pathetic rally. Trump has more people than that at his rallies waiting in line to go to the bathroom.

There is a reason she doesn’t hold events on weekends, no paid fed, state or muni employees will show up.

Which is her base.

She hasn’t had a campaign event since last Thursday, and she doesn’t have another one scheduled until next Wednesday.

Look at all the American flags.

The Dems must still be smarting from the beatdown they got the first day of the DNC convention.

AFGE is mostly federal employees, whereas AFSCME is state, county, city and other local employees.

If they are not on duty, nothing about it violates the Hatch Act. As long as they're not in uniform of any kind (not including union apparel), they're fine. If they're being paid as official time, then they're in violation of the Hatch Act.

I’d say it was an empty house compared to a Trump rally.

My husband worked for the government and the union reps were gone all the time to meetings, etc. And they were still paid their salary.

I can hear CNN,MSNBC,ABC,NBC,CBS, etc. say, "Breaking news! Hillary Clinton spoke to a packed hall today!"

When they should say, "Hillary Clinton spoke to a packed hallway today."

It’s important to remember FDR thought the idea of a union for government employees ridiculous. Additionally at the Federal level they could be gone via an executive order since it was JFK’s executive order that let them in in the first place.

I count 12 rows and estimates 20 across in the foreground. That’s 240 attendees. Add another 120 in the bleacher seating behind the podium, and miscellaneous standees, etc., and attendance is fewer than 400.

If I was in that narrow room, I would get a panic attack from claustrophobia. Claustrophobia is one of my after-effects from serving years on a U.S. Navy destroyer. The Youtube video made it look like a Trump-sized rally. This is part of the false optics of the Democrats that gives me another panic attack: the effects from my first exposure to der Hildebeast when she brought her Hillarycare bus rally to Seattle in 1994. It gave me feelings of rage at the sound of her voice like a fire cracker causes a shell-shocked veteran to drop and cover.

Drop and cover, folks.

She had a rally in a hallway?

I watched it and would have never guessed it was so small.

I guess that was by design.

Government employees voting themselves more of your money.

I am familiar with the Truckee-Meadow Community hall. It is narrow with a hallway width balcony on the side. According to local video the audience was less than enthusiastic. Many looked rather sullen and/or disinterested. She walked carefully as if the floor was covered with black ice. She smiled, waved and pointed up high in an area where there were no people.

I thought rally’s were supposed to have lots of people at them?

If they are prominently displaying their union affiliation, maybe they are union employees.

Like Henry Hill in Goodfellas, “Oh, I’m a union delegate.”
