It’s not every day Joe Biden attracts more than a couple hundred people, and he couldn’t contain his shock when he stepped before a crowd in Council Bluffs, Iowa today.

Stepping on stage, the Democrat frontrunner exclaimed, “Thank you, thank you, thank you for being here. My lord, what a nice crowd,” with an astonished tone.

But photos of the event show it wasn’t all that big. The Grass Wagon’s website says the 8,000 space can accommodate 300 people.

Does it look like there are that many people there?

You be the judge:

One reporter claimed the 300-person venue was “full”:
