Samantha Ramirez does communications for Charlie Crist’s gubernatorial campaign in Florida, so it’s her job to do this sort of thing, and to be honest, this crowd is bigger than some of the ones Joe Biden was drawing in 2020, with half a dozen people isolated in six-foot circles marked on the ground.
Still, it’s not hard to pack the house when the house is not so big, but this is Lee County, which Donald Trump won by 20 points.
Packed house for @CharlieCrist this morning in red Lee County where Trump won by 20 points.
Make no mistake — Democrats, Republicans, and Independents are uniting to make Charlie our next governor! pic.twitter.com/5U0LrFIZsg

I count less than 20 people in a room smaller than my 1 bedroom apartment. Its neither a large crowd nor a decent venue.

We have different definitions of the phrase "packed house"

If this is packed you're in trouble.

I guess if you use a small enough venue, you can "pack" it.

There are 28 people in this photo and a solid chunk of them are campaign staff and media members https://t.co/tbm5BRgc8A

I counted 29 so 28 +/- still not a packed house.

An office break room is crowded with any amount of people.

Charlie Crist was practicing today for his concession party and speech.

I am pretty sure if DeSantis arrived unannounced without any staff he would draw a larger crowd.

I have larger rooms in my home

Lee County has 750,000 people. This is nothing.

Also, it's Florida. They could've put a sign up that says "BINGO TODAY" and had the place packed to the rafters.

It’s as close to a guarantee as you can get that Desantis wins by at least 20 points 🔨🔨🔨🔨🔨. Hammertime
— Jay Legault (@Jaygozer47) September 21, 2022
So we’re to believe that red counties are going to flip for Crist because DeathSantis is so bad?
