New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio is running for the Democrat nomination, and he’s already spoken to farmers in a living room in Iowa. Next it was time to take his message to a much larger audience, as evidenced by last night’s speech:

The total headcount (not including press or de Blasio campaign aides) was 30 by my count.

Not exactly a Trump rally, but he’s getting there. Or maybe not…
I had three times this many at the garage sale last weekend. https://t.co/cWIo0v6lnM

Feel the momentum of De Blasio ‘20!
It’s a helpful way to remember how many people are in this room. https://t.co/SCGbqZVPXK

Bill De Blasio’s “largest crowd of the day” was apparently a solid 25 people ? https://t.co/wnoyxH5Rpc

Largest crowd of the day. This looks like one of those @FrankLuntz focus groups. https://t.co/7D7Ix9vV2U

And even the White House took notice, because Kellyanne Conway responded this way:
Size matters, deBlasio.
This is how it’s done.
