If there really were an abundance of enthusiasm for her you wouldn't need to resort to this:





How embarrassing that someone on this site would resort to such an obvious distortion.

19. Hillary's crowds vs Bernie's crowds in December (Iowa)
Thu Dec 31, 2015, 06:05 PM
Dec 2015

These crowd numbers are for Hillary and Bernie rallies from the beginning to mid-December. Hillary has not had any events in Iowa since 12/22.

I had to dig for this information but it is out there if you know where the events happen and can find the local media that covered these events.

I am not finding a whole lot of "enthusiasm" for Hillary, if you gauge by attendance at her Iowa rallies. And these were numbers for Hillary/Bernie linchpin town-hall style events. Both candidates are doing small events, coffees, roundtables and meeting with supporters and volunteers. I didn't include those numbers. Sanders is still beating her on those event too, by a longshot.

These are their premier rally events attendance numbers.

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Really? Comparing a good DUer to that hideous cretin? DSB is enthusiastic about his candidate. There are many examples of Sanders supporters hyperbole on this board but I have yet to see them treated so terribly. Let's let our good DUers support their candidates without these kinds of insults. Happy New Year, jurors!

I never vote to hide a post, as hideous as some of them are - just out of principal. But even if I did, this post would not even be on my radar.

President.

I think it will be a good thing for girls and women.
I saw Star Wars yesterday. I think like Hillary it will be good for girls and women.

Maybe this will be the year of women.

In Iowa, Nevada, New Hampshire. They go out every day doing the hard work and making connections. It's okay, Sanders supporters, don't worry about us.

I commented on the pic. It is horrible. That is reminds people of a pic of Stalin shows that it's a bad pic. Actually, for me it looks more like some of the South American dictator pics.
