Hillary Clinton’s Campaign Outstrips Sanders and O’Malley in Staff Diversity

[ljm2002]

39. Yes, Bernie's weekend was just DISASTROUS...

...15,000 people went to see him at his rally in Seattle, then 28,000 people went to see him at his rally in Portland.

Let's see now, that would be... 43,000 people saw him live this weekend.

Another 5,000 people saw BLM / OutsideAgitators206 flame out at the Social Security / Medicare / Medicaid rally where Bernie was the keynote speaker. They got to see Bernie too but they did not get to hear him speak. However, he did go into the crowd and shook a lot of hands and spoke with people as best he could before leaving to get to his own campaign rally.

So that's 48,000 people who saw Bernie live this weekend. Yep, "disastrous" is the word I'd use... not.

If you go to the Facebook page of BLM Seattle, you will see how much support they garnered with their silly antics:

I think this may have been more disastrous for them that it was for Bernie. I hope the damage is limited to BLM Seattle because the Black Lives Matter movement is an important one.

Anyway, counting campaign stats is interesting but does not tell the whole story. How many staff does each campaign have? I found some interesting information here:

At first blush, it would appear that Clinton's staff numbers dwarf those of the other two candidates she is being compared with. If one were to compare say, the top 20 staffers in each campaign, that might be a fairer comparison. I'd be interested to see how the numbers break down in that comparison. As Mark Twain said, "There are lies, damned lies, and statistics".
