On CNN Today: Hillary could get big crowds but she chooses not to.

[Skwmom]

And it was said with a straight face.

[pantsonfire]

1. What about an invitation to speak at the Vatican? n/t

[CoffeeCat]

17. Hillary could also go to the Vatican too

But she is too busy back home in the United States doing small rallies at George Clooney's house for $20,000 a plate.

Shhhhh...Hillary is listening. Listening to the hedge-fund managers and corporate moguls.

[grasswire]

2. who said that?

Paul Begala?

His nose was out of joint tonight.

[Skwmom]

11. It was a woman. Sorry I don't know her name. I believe she was on with Begala and a Bernie

surrogate who had been at the big rally.

[grasswire]

14. oh, okay thanks. nt

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. So she sends out emails telling people NOT to come to her rallies?

[Warren DeMontague]

31. Seems legit

[Barack_America]

32. She charges $2700 to get in.

Tends to deter the unwashed masses.

Honestly, her fundraisers outnumber her rallies by at least 2-1.

[yourpaljoey]

4. Really?

[GeorgiaPeanuts]

6. Yep it was said while they were showing her low energy rally in the Bronx

Not more than 300 could have been there

[askew]

19. Her campaign is claiming 1,200 people there and the media is spinning it as dueling

Rallie while not mentioning Hillary's sad # of attendees.

[Kalidurga]

5. lol

[bvf]

7. Bartleby the Politician. n/t

[NJCher]

18. Surveys Bernie crowds from hotel penthouse

Turns to campaign aid and says, "I'd rather not."

Cher

[Skwmom]

20. LOL. nt

[Larkspur]

33. She'd rather make millions of dollars from the elite on Wall Street than see millions of

"ordinary" Americans flocking to her rallies.

[AgerolanAmerican]

8. a crowd of bankers would expose too much truth

[HooptieWagon]

9. Bwahahaha!

Hillary supporters act and sound like children.

[dchill]

10. * snort *

[cantbeserious]

12. The Elites Living In Fantasy Land

eom

[amborin]

13. when an event occurs in the LA area, they have to send out additional last minute emails practicall

y begging people to attend

[silvershadow]

15. bwahahaha!

[litlbilly]

16. thats like, I could be a billionaire but I chose not to be:)

[Fairgo]

30. Dang...

I think I accidentally took a vow of poverty

[bbgrunt]

21. she uses price and the market system to efficiently allocate her time and determine who is worthy.

[Zira]

22. This person is absolutely right. By pandering to the 1%, Hillary is stuck with a miniscule of what

she would get if she was actually for the 99% and even democratic values - no fracking, no tpp, pro single payer medicare, etc.
Her average campaign engagement is for the wealthy and everything Bernie does is for everyone who wants to come.
Without voter suppression the real count would reflect how much she isn't into the people and they aren't into her.

Gotta be amazed by the Hillarians that are PRO voter suppression in this race. How low can they go.

[summerschild]

23. It was really SO NICE of Hillary

to stage the bird landing on Bernie's podium, don't you think?

She was going to use the bird trick herself but decided she'd give it to Bernie instead.

[Art_from_Ark]

26. I heard she actually tried the bird trick

but instead of perching on the podium, the bird gave her a little "present" from above

[jfern]

24. The Clinton News Network is a joke

[beam me up scottie]

25. ...

[delrem]

27. Quiet soirees with the 'leet are more profitable,

and really, Hillary has already cashed in.
"Her people" are taking care of the actual election, making sure the right persons in the right places are bought.
She couldn't get out of that habit with a neutron bomb.

[chillfactor]

28. I believe....

Hillary does much better with smaller groups of people...more intimate.

[passiveporcupine]

29. Yeah, intimate with wealth. n/t

[LexVegas]

34. She'll get big crowds next week. nt

[DanTex]

35. And they're right. But she prefers more intimate settings, and it's obviously working.
