Looks like debate did nothing for Hillary. She holds rally in Raleigh, capital of NC, only 300 people show up. This in a metro area of close to 2M.

Trump holds rally there, and fills huge venues with 1000s.

Photos speak for themselves.

Even very pro-Hillary CNN reporter is forced to post photo out of perspective to hide tiny venue.

Hehe - she needs to break down and start paying volunteers to show up. Granted, it's possible some of those 300 were paid to be there.

You do realize not all campaign events for either candidate is held in a large venue, right? This is often done on purpose based on how long they scheduled the event ahead of time, how much ad spend, etc etc. You also do realize that this is likely defensive outcry since Hillary clearly won the debate.

I live in Raleigh, the news bias for Trump down here is tremendous. I did not even know about Hillary coming to Raleigh until after the debate last night, I heard it on NATIONAL news. Local news finally mentioned it today.

Trump comes, and they talk about it for weeks. He gets sooooo much more press, and expectations of him are so low that he gets a pass on most things. Even Lester Holt gave up on trying to get an intelligent answer out of him last night. Trump had to manufacture his own demise.

This is because Hillary's campaign often has to cancel events because nobody RSVPs for them. The news can't tell if she will be there or not.


The only exception? Charlotte Mayor, a Democrat, told Hillary not to come to Charlotte.

Yes it does.


But I do agree that those who say that size doesn't matter is because they don't have it.

Clinton and her few remaining supporters just don't get what's happening. It's fun to watch.

People are going to vote based on the job market, economy, social issues, and favor or unfavorable sentiments of the current administration. I think Obama has done a very poor job overall and it will hurt Hillary.
