This is not in disagreement on the whole Warren argument, but crowd sizes are not a scientific way to gauge front-runner status.

Interesting. From this article:

"And this actually might go a long way toward explaining the difference between Warren’s massive mobs and Biden’s smaller crowds. Polls say Warren performs especially well among college-educated, white, liberal voters, while Biden’s support is largely concentrated among groups that might not show up at rallies as often — black voters, moderates and working-class voters. So the next time you see a story about crowd size in the Democratic primary, remember that crowd sizes can mislead you if you let them. Don’t let them."

Trust me, if crowd sizes meant you were the real frontrunner, Bernie would have crushed Clinton in a landslide in 2016. He was getting 30,000+ crowds back then.
