It’s easy to forget, but there’s an election coming up.
At least, I assume it’s easy, because — evidently — a lot of people forgot in South Carolina.
As noted by The Daily Wire, from photos of Elizabeth Warren’s appearance at an Environmental Justice event, “it looks like dozens came, maybe 100 tops.
As they tried to save the ocean, they were gazing into the sea:
“Shots from the back of the auditorium show a sea of empty seats.”
Holy cats, they ain’t kiddin’.
There’s a reason the first shot stayed tight on the stage; check out that wide shot:

Cory Booker faced the same nothingness:
Cory Booker is up, opening with a joke about how 2020 isn’t the year of the election, it’s the number of people running in the Democratic primary. pic.twitter.com/bfwZBeJZI7

Twitter loved it:
Hey, its the 1:1 model….each voter has its own Dem clown car candidate.

The place was so empty, they thought he told the joke twice.

But nothing can stop her instincts:
Warren answers “yes” when asked if DNC chair @TomPerez is wrong not to support a climate-only 2020 debate.

More observations:
Wow lots of invisible audience there.

This was particularly brutal:
I just left my son's high school play and there were many more people in the audience for that.

This is less people than there are in line for the bathrooms at a Trump rally…

As someone pointed out, that chicken sandwich is really doing the numbers right now:
I'm just pointing out the obvious, but pick ANY Popeye's chicken in America right now there are more people in line for a chicken sandwich than to listen to Warren speak!

So what happened?
Is Elizabeth losing her mojo? Or did all the supporters of her $52 trillion Medicare for All plan just have other business?
Like this lady:
I had to do my laundry sorry fauxahantas

For her sake, moving forward, I hope the crowds show up. Even though she’s headed toward an absolutely brutal debate with Donald “The Animal” Trump (here).
Or…who knows — maybe Hillary Clinton’s ’bout to leap onto the scene and steal the show.
She’s already jabbing at former gal pal Liz (here).
But even if Hillary follows Bill Maher’s advice and stays away (here), if Friday’s turnout is any sign of things to come, the American Indian may be speaking with a forked tongue:
Put a fork in her. She's done

Kate McKinnon had more of an audience in her Liz Warren sketch last Saturday. And that's it actually. The sketch is why this is likely the end of Warren. So easily parodied for all that is wrong about her.

Hey — maybe if being wrong is wrong, she doesn’t wanna be right. She’s too busy being very far Left.
