1. Interesting mix of support.

elderly white, and young.

15. There's at least one identifiable black person towards the front

Looks like a great cross-section of the entire state!

2. Meanwhile the visual from Hillary is....

3. He's improving on the stump. He's looking like a president.

I've supported him from the beginning but honestly I had some doubts. I wondered how well he hold up to a schedule and if he'd be able to expand his message beyond the talking points we're used to hearing. Not only is he holding up, he's thriving.

After watching him in Wisconsin and again today the doubts are removed. This guy can win.

4. He is a smart, cagey politician. Not his first rodeo. My admiration for him grows daily.

He or someone like him is exactly what this country needs to bring some sanity back to government.

5. Like Obama, compared to Republicans this seems an unstoppable train.

This is the kind of message that can bring out many millions of voters, just like Obama brought out millions of new voters. Even if Bernie doesn't get nominated, this is great politically for all Dems.

10. Yes, he WILL win!

In the giant crowd that keeps stuffing the GOP clown car, there HAS TO BE a few folks who are at least able to see what's going on here. I know if I were among that bunch, I'd look at what's going on with Bernie and ask myself : What's the use?
And the comparison to Billary's outing truly evokes an LOL reaction

I do think that the response to Senator Sanders is giving him some (more) fervor - and it suits him just fine. We're at the brink in this country - and Sanders is the first step in a new direction and a new era. I'm glad I'm alive to witness it. We're gonna put this honest public servant in the White House and we're gonna give him the senate to work WITH as well. The clown car will be found - stripped and abandoned on some DC backstreet - about a week after the 2016 elections.

11. He is looking presidential and can WIN. Sen. Bernie Sanders is also a statesman.

In his speech Sanders spoke truth with power and conviction that will go down in history. And he has tremendous appeal, authenticity and stamina.

As he said to George Stephanopolous who brought up age, "I was a LONG DISTANCE RUNNER in my youth".

6. another arena? Wow. Note the roped area for Hillary's group. Such a diff.

someone who was and still is us and her.

12. What a web, so bad. Hill will finally face the media tonight on CNN at 5PM ET, repeat on AC at 9.

7. THE BERNIE TRAIN JUST KEEPS ON ROLLING, I AM SO PROUD AND PLEASED

Just watch this train grow and grow...why? His "radical" message is at the heart of so many Americans. He noted that no one had the caliber to pull the sword from the stone, so he's doing it himself. Go Bernie!

[OffWithTheirHeads]

8. They bitched cause OWS didn't have a leader. Well...we do now!

[appalachiablue]

9. K & R. Portand, ME was a Full House! Sanders momentum and message are expanding.

And he gave another powerful speech with truth and conviction that will go down in history. He can WIN.

Go Bernie, Sanders 2016!

13. A beacon of hope

in a country full of bullshit. I must say that I fear for his safety as he is taking on the most powerful.

[arcane1]

14. That was a great speech! I loved the reception the Kochs received

[zebonaut]

16. BeRnImAniA!! Not since 1964

"This is something we've never seen before..."!!
