Has Clinton ever had more then a few thousand People attend one of Her Own Rallies?

[coffeeAM]

Just Curious If any Pics are out there of her giving a speech in front of a big crowd, I cannot find any.

Thanks in advance!

[tonyt53]

1. So what if she doesn't. She is ahead by about 3 million votes, so something works

She also hasn't spent her time holding rallies at college campuses. She knows that crowd won't vote in November. While you are on that subject though, how about WV. Bernie held a rally in a very safe place. HRC went out in to the public to face her critics. A lead doesn't run and hide, they confront their critics face to face.

[Biaviians]

39. Hillary filled 1/4 of a high school gym that day

[cliffordu]

47. Blah blah blah

Three million, blah blah blah.

I wonder, if the press had covered Bernie instead of the 'sure thing' warm up ceremony what the tally would be.

[Ohioblue22]

52. Yeah sure it's all the media's fault

[Ned_Devine]

57. Ok

[bigtree]

58. three million

...plus.

If they 'covered' Sanders like they've covered Hillary, the number would be higher.

[hack89]

2. Does it matter?

not sure why it is such a big deal to BS supporters - it is almost as if they think we pick candidates by crowd size instead of actually voting.

[JoePhilly]

3. Her supporters are too busy voting.

[msongs]

4. her campaign is not aimed at huge rallies of people who don't vote nt

[reddread]

66. her campaign isnt strong on GOTV messaging, is it?

Kind of odd.

[all american girl]

68. That doesn't even make sense...she has far more votes than Bernie...I think her GOTV is working

[tammywammy]

5. From the beginning she said her campaign would focus on smaller groups and not rallies.

[Vincardog]

6. No she doesn't want to pay for that much support.

[azurnoir]

7. of course not it's difficult to deliver a talior made message to large crowd

ya know like gun control in Harlem 2nd amendment rights in rural PA - womens reproductive rights for one crowd-abortion compromise for another - just little stuff like that

[arcane1]

10. Yep. Small, hand-picked crowds are so much easier to pander to n/t

[lunamagica]

13. Like in WV? Please. Talking AT people in rallies, neverlistening oto them. That is pandering

[MisterP]

34. Schrodinger's candidate

[Jackie Wilson Said]

8. I assume Hillary isnt getting smaller, historically, crowds but Bernie is getting bigger crowds

than ever before.

Makes sense, he is saying what many are thinking.

Watching those events even on TV is kind of exciting.

[dchill]

9. So, basically, no.

[CrowCityDem]

11. Justin Bieber packs arenas too. Big crowds don't exactly mean much.

[dlwickham]

35. and you win the internets today with that comment

[Attorney in Texas]

12. Quit pointing out that nobody likes the front-runner and get back in line

[Amaril]

18. .....

[lunamagica]

14. What she does is sit with voters, and LISTEN to their concerns, even if they are critical of her

Sanders stands on a podium, away from the people, and TALKS at them.

Obviously, her approach is working,

[hobbit709]

15. The only packed rooms are when she meets with her $pon$or$

[pdsimdars]

16. In crowds of dozens.

[2cannan]

19. "Cut it out!" nt

[Darb]

17. Weakest of all sauces.

I am voting for Hillary for sure, but wouldn't bother to go see her. I already decided and I am not a jingo.

[scscholar]

20. It's easier to vote than to go to a rally

Just because someone isn't excited enough to go to a rally doesn't mean they won't vote for her.

[imagine2015]

23. Excited or inspired?

[NurseJackie]

21. Hillary converses and listens... Bernie just talks.

The votes show what a difference it makes. (For all of Bernie's big and showy spectaculars, they really aren't producing the results he needs ... yet he stubbornly keeps trying the same thing over and over ... with the same lackluster results, over and over.)

[imagine2015]

22. Here's a really big crowd. It's actually a sketch.

[brooklynite]

24. But she's had more than a few thousand vote for her on frequent occasions.

Slightly more important.

[Lindsixo]

25. She packs in big crowds when she gives speeches to wall street.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

26. She's winning. That's all that matters.

Speeches to crowds of commoners have no benefit.

Speeches to small groups of corporate donors ... oh hell yeah!

[Gomez163]

27. Bernie offers better refreshments.

[Motown_Johnny]

28. Do snipers count? n/t

[RBInMaine]

29. No, she just has THREE MILLION MORE VOTES than Sanders.

[imagine2015]

40. She only needs about 80 million more to beat Trump!

[Fla Dem]

60. HRC has 12,647581 votes to Trumps 10,994,897. nt

[pinebox]

67. There were 17 GOP candidates vs 4 Dem candidates

[Thinkingabout]

30. Over three million votes and counting.

[MFM008]

31. And Sanders has a 100 thousand at a rally and loses

New York did him in.
Now all he can hope for is VP.

[seekthetruth]

38. Ugh hmmmm......

Independents, who are flocking to Bernie, had to have changed their party affiliation last October to have been able to vote for him in NY's primary.

I don't think he would have lost if that rule wasn't in place.....

[salinsky]

32. Are big rallies how you win elections? ...

... apparently not.

[Sheepshank]

33. Her campaign, her methods, her strategies...they seem to be working

[Lil Missy]

36. Her rallys are full of people who actually vote. n/t

[NCTraveler]

37. She held a large rally in Florida on March 15.

Clinton: 1,097,400
Sanders: 566,603

Difficult to fit in a photo as it was pretty spread out.

[livetohike]

41. While Sanders is busy inflating his ego by talking AT large crowds,

Hillary is talking WITH people in small venues. She cares about voters and their concerns, while Sanders tells everyone what to think in The World According to Bernie and his tired stump speech.

[felix_numinous]

42. There seem to be no photos

of large groups of supporters for HRC, interrrrrrrrrresting.

[LiberalFighter]

43. She likely met more people one on one compared to Sanders.

[zappaman]

44. Well, aren't you the busy bee!

[Codeine]

45. Scoreboard. nt

[CentralCoaster]

46. It would cost to much to pay for so many, for tens of thousands, of attendees.

Quite a strain on the budget, that would be.

[ciaobaby]

51. Your inference is ridiculous.

And as long as that wall street money keeps rolling in she is set.

[VOX]

48. Welcome to DU...

Where no crowd is too small (or big)!

[uponit7771]

49. She has a record of progressive actions that tell her tale, not people feeding her ego

[Ohioblue22]

54. 7th most progressive

[wildeyed]

50. Big rallies or three Million More Votes?

Hmmmm, which is better? Thanks in advance!

[Ohioblue22]

53. Better to be winning than fill stadiums

[yourpaljoey]

55. it's hard to find bingo night with free za at an old age house

For one thing, they do not trust her with the tile drawing!

[DemocratSinceBirth]

62. Fight ageism

it's hard to find bingo night with free za at an old age house

-yourpaljoey

Fight ageism

-yourpadsb

[Pisces]

59. Maybe not, but she's had 18 MILLION people vote for her in an election.

[Fla Dem]

61. That's not her style of campaigning. She likes more intimate settings.

Where she can actually connect to the people, not like some rock star giving a concert.

If she wanted to fill arenas, she could easily.

[workinclasszero]

63. She has a 3 MILLION more voter crowd over Sander's at the ballot box

Bernies little rallies are cute I guess.

Just like Nader's, Paul's, Rmoney's etc.

[CentralCoaster]

64. Her Oakland appearance, with all those Hill-loving people of color, was like crazy packed!!!!

And they came from all over, SF, Richmond, San Leandro, San Jose.

I mean, Oakland, right? http://www.democraticunderground.com/12511947907

Musta been dozens and dozens! Tens of dozens!

[reddread]

69. not Mrs Clinton's neighborhood

Im sure she has great plans to combat gentrification and will work tirelessly to provide
housing for all income levels in the Bay Area.

how can she lose with policies like that?

[brooklynite]

65. Since we have three months of data that rallies with large crowds don't translate into votes...

...and three months of data that Sanders holding rallies with large crowds isn't causing him to win...

...what's the relevance of the question?

[all american girl]

70. I'm wondering why so many post to Hillary's crowd size

Why do you even care? She's has more votes, so they way she's doing it seems to be working just fine for her. Some may argue that maybe Bernie should have spent some of the money on GOTV instead of so many rallies.

[bonemachine]

71. The Washington Post article about all the things the media "really does cover" tackles this one:

The WAPO article:

Hillary Clinton's crowds

SherriWithHer. ?@sherrilee7
Look at that HUGE crowd. Paid media never covers her crowds. Wonder why? https://twitter.com/sa_for_hillary/status/723100298798047232 …
