Obama won’t draw 6,000. He went to uber-Liberal SoCal a few weeks back, friendly territory, and the report turnout was 750. On. Saturday afternoon. The place seated 7,500. So the most recent sitting President - the most popular President ever, I’m told - filled fhe arena to 1/10th its total capacity.
Again, this was on a Saturday. When most people are off work. in Southern California.
Meanwhile, the hugely unpopular President Trump is drawing overflow crowds in Minnesota Illinois, Texas, Florida, etc.
As a campaigner, Obama is poison. This feels like Donnelley’s Hail Mary pass.
I think Hillary’s largest 2016 rally was a large concert near Temple University. I’m sure it translated into some Temple students voting twice (once in their home state and once in Penn). But still not the kind of motivation that Trump insoires at his rallies.
