Harry Belafonte, Nina Turner, and Erica Garner were all amazing speakers. Obviously not at all a surprise to see that with Harry and Nina, but Erica was especially impressive, given that she probably doesn't have a whole lot of public speaking experience.

And Bernie really shines at this type of event! As much as I enjoy his rallies, I think these Town Halls are one of his biggest strengths. His ability to connect with people in such an authentic way is something the town hall participants seemed to really appreciate.

Lots of important issues were covered too.

someone disagrees wth him. His mode of operations seems to be an old style professor wanted to inform his students.

The first one was sort of a mind blower at the end. In fact, I felt a cathartic thing taking place at the end with how people reach out to one another. They know how longs it's taken for someone who is true to serve this country and how it does no good to pit one against the other. Instead, stand WITH each other. You can see that there are people clearly accusatory, frustrated and crazy for solutions. This was REAL.

I also watched and learned by observing how Bernie assessed all the places he's lived. This is a good example as to how to have a conversation. I see all the places and depths of the disenfranchised of America. This makes me celebrate the 2nd video more.
