Why big crowds don’t equal big votes for Bernie Sanders (also on GDP)
But we knew this, right?
Earlier this month, 15,000 people packed into New York’s Washington Square Park to hear US Senator Bernie Sanders. It was the largest rally for any candidate in the New York presidential primary — until 28,000 people came to hear Sanders in Prospect Park in Brooklyn a few days later. That was the biggest rally of Sanders presidential campaign.
On Tuesday, Sanders lost the New York primary to Hillary Clinton by 16 percentage points. Sanders not only lost Brooklyn, but he also lost the neighborhood where he grew up.
