TRAGIC Attempt at Getting Supporters Enthused

[Bubzer]

I felt embarrassed for that staffer.

n a video that demonstrates the "enthusiasm gap" better than any poll could, a Hillary Clinton staffer attempts to get a rather small crowd of Hillary supporters enthused about their candidate. The results are tragic.

"I believe that she will win! I believe that she will win!" chants the staffer, standing on the bottom row of the stands in a gym at Rollins College. Only a handful of attendees actually echo her; most stand around looking disinterested with their arms folded or staring at their cell phones.

One guy, chatting with his friend, is openly wearing a Bernie Sanders shirt.
When she gets to the next chant, things get even more ironic.
"When I say Hillary, you say fire!" she yells. "Hillary - Fire! Hillary - Fire!"
After hardly anyone participates, she moves into the "Hillary - champion!" chant, which lacks as much "fire" as the previous attempt.

The strongest response comes when she wraps up, about half the crowd clapping.

3. Hillary: Firing up the next generation--to not vote.

4. and that's in a state she WON; her campaign is basically about letting your hand limply

slip off a surface and smack the lever for the default candidate

5. Lot of people have their noses in their phones texting...

some people get bored very quickly!

6. Give the cheer leader kudos for trying. It look like people are in line waiting for something?

May explain the cell phone distraction, or apparent disinterest in chanting.

7. LOL

That's too funny.

8. Not too tragic, at least 4 DUers were quite enthused. /

9. At about :16 and :44

stands a guy wearing a Bernie shirt.

10. Compare to Bernie's crowds of thousands screaming, without prompting, BER-NIE! BER-NIE!

BER-NIE!, BER-NIE!


on and on and on. Bernie's crowds say some of his words before he can get out them out of his mouth. Like $27.

The enthusiasm gap is going to hurt all Democrats up and down the ticket if Hillary is the nominee.

11. The size of the crowd is more of interest to me.

Was she supposed to be there? If so, that says a lot about who gives a shit about her candidacy.

site, so keep that in mind.

I'm sure she is pulling them in in New York...her "home state"...
