Hillary Clinton is trying to spin her tiny crowd in Des Moines, Iowa as 'standing room only' [photos]

Earlier today, Hillary Clinton appeared at a campaign event at Grand View University in Des Moines, Iowa and retweeted this photo of the “standing room only” crowd to her 5 million-plus followers:

Oh really? Let’s look at the crowd from a few different angles. This is hardly “standing room only”:

Pollster Frank Luntz even commented on the tiny crowd, saying it looked “barely bigger than the press pool”:

Pathetic.

And it turns out Bernie Sanders will be speaking in the same exact arena on Sunday January 31. Any bets on how big his crowd will look in comparison?
