In reply to the discussion: Our Revolution to protest Hillary Clinton at Rutgers [View all]JI7
(89,287 posts)62. i wouldn't worry too much about this. it will probably be similar to the protest during her book
signing.
which was a total of about 5 people and it included sanders, stein, and trump supporters.
so a total of about 5 from those 3 campaigns.
