Flying Phoenix
(114 posts)Bad optics, huge, gaping enthusasim gap. I predict with that number, she won't even meet the 15% threshold on *SOME* caucuses.

(17,796 posts)they sent caucus voter over to O'Malley. Strange world we live in, isn't?

(51,076 posts)are there 100 or so there? I wonder how many came in with her or the Press
Hey Hillary it might be time to start thinking of calling it quits for the good of the country
I know if I was in her place I'd quietly move on out and hope no one noticed.

(17,796 posts)she won't leave the campaign until completely mathematical eliminated. And even then they'll have to drag her out.

(51,076 posts)there won't be any plum jobs waiting for her in a Sanders administration. I'd bet anyway
Bernie sees her as she is. A big part of the Problem.

(50,130 posts)No excitement. They were looking at their phones, or staring into space, or looking around the room. Not engaged at all. It was very weird.
Now I know why.

(6,960 posts)... this is going to be crushing to the Clinton campaign, especially if she loses tomorrow.
It looks like whatever 'enthusiasm' there is for Mrs. Clinton is mostly manufactured.

(12,754 posts)That were staged and then doctored to make the crowd seem larger.

(6,409 posts)Only her most ardent supporters are enthusiastic about her, and most people are lukewarm at best. Even so, they say they will voter for her, sometimes because the party tells them to, sometimes because they're afraid of the unknown, sometimes just because they don't realize we have a progressive candidate this time. I guess she will win enough primaries to be nominated, but I'm worried about the general election. The Republican candidates are ridiculous, but a couple of them are capable of whipping up enthusiasm, drawing a crowd, etc.
