The Thrill Is Gone: Only 750 Turn Out to See Former President Obama in Far-Left California
GP ^ | September 9,2018 | Joe Hoft

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.

I always have issues with "rounded numbers." Exactly 750?

How many were media?

Professional activists, ‘journalists’, and the usual rent-a-mob types... The ‘press’ played their role - making the crowd look as large as they could - no ‘full room’ pictures.

Obomination is a pariah, so glad he is actively campaigning for sleezy communist DEMONcRAT "politicians". Everywhere he goes and every time he opens his lying, narcissistic mouth. President Trump and the loyal conservative Republican candidates running for office within these districts gain multitudes of new votes.

The only thing Obomination does is reinforce the fact of how absolutely horrible and bankrupt his rule was, and the DEMONcRAT party is.

"So the tingle is gone from Chris Matthews’ legs?"

That is the single most obscene and biased words ever said by a reporter/opinion spokehole. How does he face himself in the mirror? He's always wrong; he's always angry; he's always arrogant; and he's always obnoxious. Matthews is the epitome of an unhappy pissy progressive who wakes up in the morning just looking for something new to hate.

It marvels me how so many can so hate our nation/society and still manage to walk and chew gum at the same time. The hatred of all things natural and born out of commonsense must gnaw at their core. What awful lives they live.

I see lots of posts obsessing about the seating capacity of the venue.

Folks, the venue was chosen, not at random, but because of the expected turnout. That in itself should have settled the question.

Short memories forget the Styrofoam columns, the fainting guests and the days of lining up to hear it speak. They also recall that in the progression of the next 8 years, the venues shrank and shrank. Soros has become more and more disappointed. The Thrill has been gone for a long time.

The Anaheim Convention Center venue can hold THOUSANDS of people, and only 750 showed up! This in California, the liberal DEMONcRAT Mecca of the entire country.

Needless to say, if the DEMONcRATS are in trouble, and can't raise a massive crowd to see their false messiah in California, the DEMONcRATS are in deep trouble throughout the rest of the country.

Been there, that venue can hold THOUSANDS. The “invited” turnout to see Obomination their failed, false messiah was nothing short of pathetic and speaks volumes about what is really taking place.

There are over 1500 seats there. There are 25 rows of seats and there are at least 4 sections of 16 seats per row. Do the math. That’s 1600 seats.

Seven hundred and fifty loonies in a far left nutso state with legalized “medical” pot is not a good sign for an ex-president.

From what I could count, each block of chairs has 21 rows of 15 seats per row= 315 per block.

There were 6 blocks in the photo= room capacity of about 1890

750/1890= about 39% capacity.

Sure they were only 750 people, but collectively that represents over 7,500 pet cats.

The Anaheim Convention Center holds 7500 people. Ten times more than came to see Obama. Curious as California was allegedly owned by Obama, and the Democrats.

These 750 were likely bused in and fed, like all of his other crowds.
