1. I count 12 rows of 50 across. That isn't even a thousand

2. Well,

the Clinton mentality would be "it all depends on what the definition of size is"

3. They lied about a Tulsa rally headed by Bubba over the weekend:

The Clinton campaign said about 800 attended the “Get Out the Vote” rally. A sign on a wall says the maximum occupancy allowed is less than 500.

6. Thousands Cheer on HRC at Javits Center NEW YORK—

Sanders fans look silly when talking about crowds---lying about crowds.


Thousands Cheer on HRC at Javits Center


NEW YORK—
Following a string of wins on Super Tuesday, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton held a public rally Wednesday in New York City where she spoke of her "commitment to raise wages and break down the barriers that hold too many families back."

Supporters queued in a line that coiled around New York City's massive Javits convention center, huddled close for a chance to see and hear the Democratic Party front-runner.

Among them were carpenters, asbestos workers, and other union members from across the city, who feel Clinton is the most reliable candidate to protect their interests.

"You have to give her a chance," said Brent Miller, a carpenter from Brooklyn.

Miller, who said his former projects include a Donald Trump building, said Clinton is the best choice for the future of construction. Trump, he maintained, "is no builder."

Mansoor Khan, a Muslim-American, said he likes both Clinton and Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, but argued that Sanders "doesn't connect to minorities." In addition, he said Sanders’ economic policies are too good to be true.

"We need to take a realistic, sensible approach, and that's why I think Hillary is a better candidate," Khan said.

15. Facts & logic are nonexistent.

12. Bigger lie factor than Trump

Trump inflated the crowd at his rally in Madison, AL on Sunday from the actual 12K-15K to 32K. If he had used Clinton estimating techniques he could have said 75K.

13. I'm reminded of an old song lryic I won't repeat

[book_worm]

14. I've seen it described in the papers as "thousands" besides

as Bernie has demonstrated rallies don't mean wins.

16. Wow!

In this post in the HRC group reply #4 claims an unofficial count of 30,000 and again not a wide angle photo in the bunch!
