28. Estimate rounded up from 47 by her campaign handlers? lol

Seriously, those claimed crowd numbers, when provided by her own campaign, and unaccompanied by full crowd pictures (like we see from Bernie's campaign) have proven extremely inflated in the past - that happened when Bill spoke to a fund raiser in Pittsburgh, and those pesky attendees were interviewed by local press. Then you have to discount the number of security/secret service; press; and Clinton campaign workers. She'd be doing good to have 200.

If she really had 600, that would be an all-time record, with the exception of her carefully staged Roosevelt Island announcement to kick off her official race. And there would be a lot of photos put out to show that size of the crowd.

Great. Who endorsed him? n/t. Ken Burch Mar 2016 #1
