Walker tweet: "Another overflow crowd at Hy-Vee in Council Bluffs" [View all]

:large
Walker is on a much hyped Winnebago motorhome campaign tour of Iowa. He has avoided the dreaded small crowd turnout photo disaster by booking only very small venues. Here he is today boasting about "another overflow crowd" while speaking in a tiny room in a Hy-Vee grocery store in Council Bluffs, which is "overflowing" with a few elderly Republicans. Looks like he's calling a BINGO game. Those demographics will not carry him to the White House.
