Love the smell of flop sweat in the morning? That might have been the aroma wafting off Roosevelt Island today as Hillary "kicked off" her campaign [whatever happened to "you only get one chance to make a first impression?" Guess Hillary doesn't use Head & Shoulders.]

On MSNBC's Weekends with Alex Witt today, two reporters painted a picture of a crowd that was smaller than hoped for, not overly enthusiastic, and problematically pale.

First up was Alex Seitz-Wald, who let slip that stands behind the stage didn't get filled, and that the crowd was largely enthusiastic but "not overwhelmed." A bit later Joy Reid and host Richard Liu fretted over the problematic predominance of pale faces, with Reid observing "on the diversity side, they were on the low end."
