Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton delivered a keynote speech at the National Baptist Convention Thursday night, but photos show that many people failed to show up.
Prior to the speech, workers moved in wall partitions in the giant venue, according to tweets from several reporters who were there.

Even during the speech, however, many of the chairs at the venue were not filled.

According to local 41 Action News reporter Brian Abel, roughly 3,000 attended the speech although there were 5,000 seats set up in the venue.
Abel also published photos of the venue prior to Clinton’s speech.

Clinton repeatedly cited scripture during her speech, praising Baptist pastors around the country and promised increased government spending to assist their congregations.

This seems to be SOP at all of her events.
People can talk about the polls, electoral college all they want. If this is typical turnout for her events, and it is, then come election day, and they announce she is the winner, then to believe it was not rigged, you will have to be the biggest dumb ass alive!!
If they install her into the White House, our nation will be dead!

Baloney - I've never been to a rally or speech by a candidate I've voted for. (The only political event I ever attended was a Mondale speech, and that was because some friends and I happened to be walking by the downtown Chicago venue while they were trying to fill the empty seats, and we figured hey, why not.)

Friend, I don't know what you are trying to say, or your point.
Mine is simple, if you observe, Trump events usually have attendance in the thousands. In contrast, Hillary events usually can not fill a phone booth. So if they claim that she has won, IMHO, that will be total Bull Shit!

That's the part that's baloney - many who vote seldom or never attend rallies.

I can understand that many that will vote may not live near rallies, or have to work, etc.
But, by your logic, all of those that do attend the rallies, will most likely stay home and watch reruns of "Happy Days" .
Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight!
Your logic is what I call BULL SHIT ! Joseph Goebbels depended on people like you.
Sounds like you are already mentally programmed for Shitlerly to win. Maybe that is what you want.

Has Trump suggested that the electoral system be replaced by a count of how many people show up at his rallies, yet?
Hillary has been killing Trump in key electoral states polled.
Those who show up at his rallies wont decide anything, they are the zealots

No, its that the number of those at Trump rallies is insignificant compared to how many people will vote on election day.
He gets high turnout at rallies in states he has no chance of winning.

What a stupid question.
My position is that the rally turn out is an indicator of voters coming out to vote. Just a theory, and I am sure you obviously disagree.
It is just like attendance at concerts is an indicator of record sales in an area. At least in the old days it did. Music business has changed.
Polls can be manipulated, fabricated, etc. I don't think rally turn out is fabricated. Unless you think Trump is paying people to come to his rallys. I have seen reports that Hillary has been paying people to attend. You may disagree.
" Those who show up at his rallies wont decide anything, they are the zealots "
And those zealots will turn out & vote.
Your girl Shitlerly seems to be lacking willing voters.

That in no way follows from anything I've said.
