and I look at how many are attending Hillary events in Iowa and it's not even close. How the HELL is she "up" in Iowa? I don't get it.

After her decades in the public eye, and thorough media coverage, they know where she stands and they know how they're going to vote.

And today's Des Moines Register poll shows that their votes are even firmer than Bernie's -- even if they're not turning up at pep rallies.

why they turned out in droves to watch him speak. They knew who Hillary was then too, having been in the public eye for decades, and thorough media coverage, they knew where she stood and they knew how they were going to vote.

She lost.

thing I've read in a while

Many of Hillary's supporters don't feel the need to attend a pep rally.

After her decades in the public eye, and thorough media coverage, they know where she stands and they know how they're going to vote.

And today's Des Moines Register poll shows that their votes are even firmer than Bernie's -- even if they're not turning up at pep rallies.



Where is it this Hillary you claim stand anyway?

away why she NEVER wins online polls...they choose not to vote in them because they aren't scientific.

She has no huge rallies because she has no support. To cover that fact up, "she only has small, intimate one on one gatherings." And now:

There's this thing called the Internet, and you can learn all about one of the most-written-about and most-maligned presidential candidates of the last forty years on it.

The internet was around for the presidential primaries in 2007 also, and Hillary lost. I guess they learned too much and voted for Obama.

Pep rallies are good if you need to get pumped up. Hillary's supporters are ready to vote and they don't need a crowd to tell them to do so.

when I caucus for Hillary a d act ad precinct captain for her. There have been many events around the state by her and for her. The most recent that I attended was when Cecile Richards came to talk to us. In these smaller venues, we get to be heard, not yelled at. That day I know that coalitions were formed and new ideas were exchanged with plans for followup.

We have plenty of enthusiasm across all age groups.
