Maybe they don’t want Bill.
Prior to an Indiana campaign appearance by Bill Clinton, some singers warming up the crowd tried to lead a “We want Bill” chant.
They struggled to get any sort of reaction from the audience.
“We want Bill,” the duo repeated over and over, with little response from the audience.
Rally attendees could be seen looking down, looking at their phones and chatting with their neighbors.
The band played the refrain numerous times with seemingly no reaction.
It’s not the first time the campaign’s struggled with a lack of enthusiasm.
Video from a holding area for Hillary Clinton rally attendees in Orlando, Florida last month showed a long line of people completely disinterested in joining in chants for the candidate.
In a gymnasium at Rollins College, a woman in a campaign t-shirt stood on the bleachers and began clapping in an attempt to lead the people in pro-Hillary cheers.
“I believe that she will win,” she chanted, trying to get the crowd to join. Only a smattering did.
Most stood with their hands in their pockets, chatted with a neighbor or browsed their phones. A man with a Bernie Sanders t-shirt laughed with another attendee.
But the campaign worker was undeterred.
“I say Hillary, you say fire!” the woman chanted. “Hillary, Fire!” she said.
Most of the people weren’t on fire for Hillary.
“When I say Hillary, you say champion!”
If this unenthusiastic crowd is any indication, it may be a long election day for the current Democratic front runner.
