Stop Exaggerating...You're Not Helping
I'm working on a piece about the Clinton visit along with video of the speech. No matter how you slice it, it was a major win for the Congressman.
But some of Reyes' supporters should stop exaggerating about the attendance. I saw one idiot who proudly proclaimed that "over 6,000 people attended Former President Bill Clinton visit to endorse Congressman Silvestre Reyes."
He's either lying or stupid.
According to a quick google search, the venue doesn't even hold 6,000 people! And it wasn't full. It was about half-full. I'm sure its easy to find pictures of the venue and they will likely show the attendance.
I realize they are eager to support the Congressman, but they are doing him a disservice because they show an inherit inability to display any level of fidelity to the truth.
It was a tremendous success for the Congressman no matter how you slice it. There's no need to exaggerate the figures. He had the place half-full, in a town with crappy voter-turnout, for an event in the early part of the work-week during the day.
Politically, that is a BIG deal and dwarfs any other political crowd I've seen this election season. By far.
There's no need to exaggerate.
(A more comprehensive piece will follow along with video...)
