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.

At a rough guess: 5 sections; 20 rows per section; 15 seats per row...1500 seats.
Even if he filled every one and had another 100 or so along the walls, 1600 people. 1750 max. Still dwarfed by Trump events!
...and Obama couldn’t fill that room?
Yes but did Chrissie Matthews thrillometer leg get buzzed up for his excitement of his Bam’s appearance?
They may not bother to turn out for such speeches, but they still idolize him.
“Obama delivered a short speech centered on unity”
In which he said “I” over 100 times. I looked it up the capacity is 7500. So if the story is wrong and they dropped a 0 it was a capacity crowd, which would be expected in Mexifornia. If the story is right well maybe the bloom is off rose or the fly is off the ...
120 x 63’ Ballroom E dimensions, 7,560 square feet. Don’t know what that translates into for seating capacity.

They told 750 local EBT card recipients their benes for the month would be locked out if they didn’t show up.
That would be 749 more than would be merited given that brought at least one person. the sound of his voice brings on a revulsion response by my body.FU O’Putrid!!
750 Californians with nothing better to do?
Dope smoker turned Hopium peddler.
Too bad some smart person hasn’t figured out a way to “hack” into obama’s teleprompter...to blank it out, mid-speech; or even change it to Spanish.
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.
He’s so dependent on that prompter to praising Trump, and he probably wouldn’t even notice...he’d just just keep on reading the words...someone else’s words.
One of the chief ironies of obama is, he once claimed that anything conservatives say is, “it’s just words, just words”, when his entire life has been based on just that...words. Who, other than class-less bammy gifts a complete set of his speeches to the Queen of England...and in an unusable format.
His entire tenure of “leading from behind” was based on his speeches. He seemed to think any word he uttered was an excerpt from the “Sermon on the Mount”, when what we heard was the “teacher” on the “Peanuts” cartoons..(blah, blah, blah, I, I, Me, Me, My, My).
Yep, hack away his teleprompter and see what a drooling idiot looks like.
“when he was caught smoking in the Magic Kingdom after a concert as a teenager”
Never learned to follow the rules...
The crowds were all in the hallways trying to figure out which bathroom to use before going into the venue.
[“politics of hope.” ]
Hope in one hand and **** in the other. That’s all the left can offer after they intentionally destroy everything they touch.
Unlike them, Trump is delivering and dragging them kicking and screaming all the way.
The middle row has 15 chairs per row.
The middle section has about 20 rows.
That’s 300 people.
I count 5 sections.
That’s 1500 chairs minimum.
His “ground breaking” (according to one ardent lefty listener) speech was carried live on NPR, bringing tears to the eyes of some lefties as he used the word “I” 101 times, while taking credit for everything positive that has happened years after he left office ...
Six sections of 300 chairs each (20 rows @15 chairs per row per section)= 1800 in the front section. It most likely is double that with a back section not in the picture.
Looks like 1500 seats, but areas probably be closed off.
I see about 1500 seats in that picture
How many of those 750 were slobbering media?
