Rallies numbers speak: Hillary "very exclusive" 450 people, Bernie "for the people" 20,000 people.

[Yupy]

Be happy, I am!

[tazkcmo]

1. Just cuz she's so folksy.

Wonder what kind of accent she adopted...

[Yupy]

2. Kind of Angry, don't you think?

[Motown_Johnny]

6. Yes, she seemed very angry throughout the entire town hall event.

I guess she her internal polling is really bad.

[MissDeeds]

29. I thought so too

and she was kind of glaring at people. When she first walked out on the stage she was smiling. Something must have ticked her off.

[grasswire]

43. she did a funny weird HOE DOWN step out to meet Cuomo

Did you notice that? Put her elbows out and jigged across the stage. Sort of like a square dance step.

What WAS that?? It's been bugging me.

Maybe she's thinking of doing some vaudeville?

[MissDeeds]

44. Yes, and I think she kissed him on the cheek!

Of course mentioning that probably makes me sexist.

I thought her whole demeanor was odd. She started out giddy and then went to snark mode.

[grasswire]

45. yes, giddy

I have to find a clip of that little sashay step.

[BillZBubb]

3. Unfortunately, there is no strong correlation between crowd sizes

and election results.

[Yupy]

8. This election is not a conventional one, I have faith!

[JackRiddler]

28. The correlation between primary/caucus polling and results is even worse.

[zeemike]

35. There was in 2008

Obama had them and Hillary did not.

[thereismore]

4. In that msnbc link, from Hillary's event: "I'm not just shouting slogans".

She is running her 2008 campaign again.

[VulgarPoet]

7. Oh, I more than remember. Apparently, we were supposed to have forgotten.

eom

[morningfog]

11. "The skies will open, the light will come down, celestial choirs will be singing...."

"The skies will open, the light will come down, celestial choirs will be singing and everyone will know we should do the right thing and the world will be perfect. Maybe I’ve just lived a little long, but I have no illusions about how hard this is going to be, you are not going to wave a magic wand to make special interests disappear."

[Uncle Joe]

5. Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread. Yupy.

[Yupy]

9. My Pleasure, enjoy and thanks!

[kenfrequed]

10. I wonder...

Is she aware that banker dollars don't actually attend caucuses?

[Yupy]

13. Maybe not? Wishful thinking maybe...

[livetohike]

12. Hillary is talking WITH people and Sanders is talking TO people. Notice

how uncomfortable and nervous he looks at town halls with any questions that don't fit his stump speech.

[Yupy]

15. I understand your pain! Be happy, not angry, that's bad for your health!

Did you look how angry she looks?
Sanders looks awesome, people love him!

[left-of-center2012]

16. "how uncomfortable and nervous he looks"

Did you miss the angry look on Hillary's face when the young man said voters don't trust her?

[livetohike]

19. No. She have a very good answer to that young man too. n/t

[left-of-center2012]

32. She didn't answer his question

She went on a rant listing her claim of life long work.
Never got close to saying why people don't trust her.
(Maybe because she doesn't answer questions?)

[ejbr]

42. To be fair,

I didn't trust her to answer the question.

[cali]

18. Lol. Bernie has done literally hundreds and hundreds of town halls

I know. I've been to quite a few. He's quite comfortable taking any question and he's been doing just that for years every Friday on Brunch With Bernie. Your wishful thinking and projection is impressive. The fact is, Hillary has small crowds because she can't attract large ones.

[livetohike]

21. In Vermont right? n/t

[cali]

24. Brunch with Bernie is nationally aired

Yes, I live in Vermont

[dragonfly301]

39. Brunch with Bernie is how I was introduced to him

Years ago, my son attended a magnet program that required me to pick him up - we would listen to the Thom Hartmann show on the drive home (guess the show was on a delay) and once a week Bernie was the guest. We live in Maryland, my son was 9 and even at that age he could tell that Bernie was not your typical politician. He would admit he didn't know an answer instead of BS'ing the caller. It was refreshing. The 9 year old son is now 18, a registered voter and even bigger Bernie supporter. He spends his internet time on reddit not DU or DKos and had me go check it out - young voters are organizing caravans, phone banking and raising a million dollars! Momentum is building!

[Fawke Em]

25. So she let all of the 450 at her event yesterday speak?

Do you even think through your memes?

[Yupy]

26. Do you even read and understand the title or figurative language?

Numbers speak, hello???

[MineralMan]

14. There's a difference between fundraisers and rallies.

Clinton doesn't really do rallies that much. She does do fundraising events, though. Sanders, on the other hand, focuses more on large rallies, which are also fundraisers for his small donors.

It's more a difference in campaigning style than anything else. We'll know the results of those choices as the caucuses and primaries come and go.

Sanders held a large rally yesterday here in the Twin Cities of MN. About 20,000 people came. Since the metro area here has a population of about 2 million, more or less, that represents about 1% of the population of the metro area.

Is that significant? Yes. Is it predictive of the March 1 caucus results? Not really.

My wife and I had planned to go to Bernie's rally, but her mother is in the hospital after a health emergency, so we opted to stand by her, rather than listen to a political speech. We're Clinton supporters, but both of us love hearing politicians speak, whether or not we support that politician ourselves.

[Yupy]

17. H-Fund-raising with Wall-street, you meat? I believe this election is different, he will win!

[MineralMan]

20. I am meat. We all are.

Fortunately, there aren't many predators on human mammals where I live.

[Android3.14]

36. As opposed to human amphibians?

[MineralMan]

38. I've never met a human who wasn't a mammal.

My wife's business cards once said, under her name:

Mammal

[DUbeornot2be]

40. Hmmm...

...I was always under the impression that the main reason a candidate had to win the fundraising battle was in order to get the message to potential voters...

Are you saying there's another reason a candidate needs only to win the money battle? Does high bidder win the "proprietary" part of the voting software or is it simply to help sell a narrative if tptb decide to flip the vote again?

Your argument doesn't hold water in a world with internet access unless there is another reason for needing so much money...

[Jarqui]

22. Yes but the jewelry rattling at Hillary's event was deafening !!! nt

[Fawke Em]

27. Clap!

[Jarqui]

31. Exactly who and what I was thinking of when I typed those words

Loved that man. I think he'd really like Bernie.

[MuseRider]

33. Thank you for this!

I had never heard it before. I can think of many times this might come in handy.

[2pooped2pop]

23. Yep

And that's exactly who they will work for. One for all of the people, one for the affluent.

[Doctor_J]

30. Well if your buy-in is $2700, many will be priced out

[jalan48]

34. Yuppies for Hillary!! You go girl!!

[SoapBox]

37. But she's so very busy with her Finance Industry millionaires...

Or billionaires...or whatever.

She is out of touch.

[geardaddy]

41. I was at the St. Paul rally.

Electric!

[greiner3]

46. Was listening to Morning Joe at the link and even he had good things to say

So what's his angle
