that one guy looks like he is trying to hide behind his signs. Hiraeth Feb 2016 #3
Might be a staffer who doesn't want to appear in too many shots. n/t winter is coming Feb 2016 #8

Her pitiful crowds, I mean "intimate gatherings" look larger when the angle is tight.

Fox News used to love using that technique at Tea Party rallies, and DU would laugh and laugh...

Bernie's had a Secret Service detail for a couple of weeks now and is still drawing crowds in the thousands while Hillary's crowds are usually numbered in hundreds.

She has NEVER had crowds like his. Even the day she announced, they had to rope off huge areas because not enough people showed up to fill them. Her support is shallow. The corrupt corporate owned MSM has been propping her up.

PEACE
LOVE

8 million people there, right? Loads of venues indoors and outside - Central Park anyone? What do they pick? A small park at the end of an island that is 2 miles long and 800 feet wide, and otherwise filled with apartment buildings. The choice was ostensibly because of a memorial to FDR at that end. (GAG!)

But the cropping was totally natural this time. No curtains necessary - It was trees and WATER.
