Wanker's crowd

Curious as to how many people attenden Wanker's big announcement. There were no camera shots of the entire crowd, only those directly around him. During Bernie's speech they often panned around the entire arena.

...Book your event in the smallest venue possible to make it look like standing room only....

I learned that in REPUBLICAN campaign management seminars in the 60s

I think one could get 3,000 in there max. I was watching on television. As one would expect, skewering older, most Caucasian. One person of color, appeared to be with a group of students. It had to be a boiler in there, with the dew points around 71 F.
