Far left George Soros related Think Progress reported over the weekend about former President Obama’s event in Anaheim, California –

ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA — Former President Obama made his first campaign stop of the midterm elections in Orange County, California Saturday to stump for seven Democratic House candidates running in districts currently held by Republicans but that Hillary Clinton won in 2016.

About 750 people attended the event at Anaheim Convention Center, where Obama delivered a short speech centered on unity and the “politics of hope.” And, after a story about getting kicked out of Disneyland when he was caught smoking in the Magic Kingdom after a concert as a teenager, Obama issued an impassioned critique of Trump and the state of American democracy and encouraged the crowd to back the candidates he came to support.

The real question is not how many chairs, but how many of the MSM were counted toward the attendance.

Everyone knows he can’t recite “Jack and Jill” without his prompter, so he’d be a stuttering mess trying to figure out his next line.

“Uhhhh, Jack, and Jill, went up a uhhhh, hill, uhh, goin’ up a hill is where we were all goin’ in my administration, huh, Donald Trump doesn’t even know where the hill IS, uhhh, I can tell you that, uhhh, anyway, anyway, there were Jack and Julie, goin’ up that hill, I believe they were fetching something, uhh, maybe a breathalyzer, no, that’s if you’re caught drinking, I mean an inhaler, free under Obamacare unless you got a little jack in which case there is a moderate fee, under my plan, but now where were that wonderful couple, uhhh, Jack, and Jerome? Remember in my, uhhh, administration finally gays could uhh, marry and live in freedom, not that I am gay, uhhh, no, but I am flattered to be called, uhh, the first gay president, for my policies, mind you, because I was the most inclusive President, I really did bring pride, uhh, and look what you’ve got now, ummm, Donald Trump wants all gays locked up, right?? We can’t have that! Uhhh, yeah, uhh. Ya all better get out there an’ vote! Gay, black, Hispanic, we need all a your votes! Oh yeah, uhh, Jack was fetching something. He was on a, like a, ummm, high hill, with a view to the future, uhhh, where do we see his country going? Forwards like in my, uhhh, presidency?”

A reliable indicator of who is in the lead is to look at attendance at rallies.

Low rally attendance indicates low voter enthusiasm.

[TomGuy]

No surprise.

When he was running for reelection in 2012, many of the venues had small attendance numbers.

In many, they darkened upper seating areas or closed off unused floor space, to make it appear fuller.

This is probably why one article earlier today suggested that Trump's inaugural photos were photoshopped to make it appear the crowd was larger:

Trump’s Inauguration Photos Were Cropped to Make Crowds Look Bigger, Report Says

[ResistorSister]

For sure. But I'm more interested in the hashtag: Take “it” Back. Question, what is “it”? If it's America, why not say, Take America Back?

[Beowulf9]

Alright, Mr. DeMille, I'm ready for my closeup.

[Irish Eyes]

I have heard this was by invitation only. Can this be verified?

[Nateman]

From the picture it looks like 1600 seats or less than half attendance. Trump's events are standing room only and still thousands are left outside .

[NFHale]

That’s 749 too many.

He was #750, so he doesn’t count.

[GOPJ]

The ‘press’ did their best to show the crowd as larger than it was with a ‘view’ from behind the 8th row... the row that was last in the room.

And Obama had an ‘organizer’ who directed applause - same thing used by late night comics and other phonies... It was obvious when the person who direct an applause line that wasn't suppose to be one...

I was embarrassed for Obama... embarrassed for democrats...

Democrat phonies tried so hard (with help from corrupt journalists) to make it look like a Trump rally. They failed.

How many people at the Obama rally were 'democrat activists' and NOT ordinary citizens? And how many 'buses' were parked outside - buses that brought in rent-a mob-union guys... Dreadful.

Listed capacity is 756 ...

[chrisinoc]

” I looked it up the capacity is 7500.”

That is the capacity of the arena side of the convention center. 0bama’s speech was in one of the rooms on the south end.

DJT had a rally one the arena side in 2016, drew about 3500. It was an early afternoon event so the arena was not at capacity.

[JLAGRAYFOX]

This was a Democrat/Obama controlled event with 750 party faithful low life invited to attend. You, the public will see very little of either Obama or Clinton attending “massive open to the public” political rallies like POTUS, Trump’s huge rallies.

Most all of their vain, weak, activities will be tightly controlled, contrived, managed events. Fact is: there is no one in the Democrat Party that can come near to reaching the drawing power of POTUS, Donald J. Trump...period.

The wonder boy of the Democrat Party (Obama) has already failed miserably in his mission. Instead of being “The Wonder Boy of the Democrat Blue Wave”...Obama is nothing more, but “The Pajama Boy” he really is!!!

[JayGalt]

That is not what the crowd pictures looked like, many many college age kids.

haha

[SamAdams76]

At Trump rallies, you have thousands outside who can't get in.

At Obama rallies, you have hundreds inside who can't wait to get out.

[Right Wing Assault]

Small room. Why would you use a small room? Probably because they saw the tiny line of people waiting to come in, so they moved it from a large auditorium at the Anaheim Convention Center to this little one.
