He keeps pacing back and forth by the nike, applauding himself, altho most of the visible audience around him is not clapping, just waving their signs.
With no sound, the visuals really stand out.
anyone hear how many showed up?

These days, if a candidate or protest organizer is short on numbers, he or she can simply pick up the phone and call a company like Crowds on Demand, a Los Angeles-based company that provides rental crowds for campaign rallies and protests. The company was founded in late 2012 by Adam Swart, a UCLA grad who majored in political science. It is among a very small number of U.S. companies that offers rental crowd services in the U.S. (including Crowds for Rent and the Trump-hired Extra Mile Casting), and perhaps the only one that does so openly.

Win the popular vote! Probably actually won the EC w/o Trussian interference! And have to watch this clown who caused it -- free and bragging up a storm?
Geez, it must really suck. She deserves a medal.

Someday I hope people break the Fox spell. It's been a real drag on the country, but it's made some people very rich, so, that's what matters to too many people.
