Bernie the innumerate was in Seattle yesterday. From The Bellingham Herald:
Thousands turn out to see Bernie Sanders at the Tacoma Dome
On a crisp blue-sky Presidents Day afternoon, fans of Democratic presidential contender Bernie Sanders arrived early to line up for his free rally Monday at the Tacoma Dome.
The Dome eventually would fill to capacity with an audience eager to cheer on the Democratic candidate for president later that evening.
Danny Mulligan from Philadelphia played bluegrass tunes with a few friends outside. They changed a handful of lyrics to fit some of Sanders’ trademark policies.
And, of course, Danny was pure Astro-turf - not a local, flown in from out of state:
He works for a health insurance company in Philadelphia...
I would love to know the actual attendance. The Tacoma Dome seats 23,000 people. Thousands turned out? How many thousands? Three thousand? Five? Ten? President Trump routinely has standing-room only crowds for his rallies. Even his overflow crowd is SRO.
I think that if the stadium was full, there would be photographs accompanying the article showing this.
