1. Thing's they are a changin'

[Cheese Sandwich]

9. Let's hope so.

We need some kind of change.

[Uncle Joe]

2. This was good.

Thanks for the thread, Cheese Sandwich.

[Cheese Sandwich]

10. you're welcome. I hope people will share this video.

It's got a good message.

[AtomicKitten]

3. Brava!!!

[Cheese Sandwich]

7. I know right?

A really good speaker

[KeepItReal]

[Cheese Sandwich]

20. Thank you too. I agree it deserves attention.

[Matariki]

25. He's a fantastic speaker. Love that line that 'if Hillary gets Rahm's she's going to hire Rahm"

and as he points Hillary has been silent about what's happening in Chicago.

[Cheese Sandwich]

33. The kid is probably right. Rahm will get a job as an ambassador or something.

And yeah he hit the nail on the head with this little speech.

[jillan]

38. Ooooo - Hillary and Rahm. That could be a talking point worth getting out there.

[Cheese Sandwich]

39. Yes they seem to be good friends

and he's very unpopular for covering up police murders of unarmed people.

[jillan]

40. She literally just flip-flopped on that too. Now she's critical.

It is exhausting trying to keep up with her constant backtracking.

[oasis]

5. Straight from the heart via pages 1 through 6.

[Cheese Sandwich]

8. Oh my...

... not everyone can afford a teleprompter

[cui bono]

16. What a fucked up comment.

You should reconsider leaving that up. What do you think she was speaking for then? Do you think she was making the kind of money Hillary makes to speak at Goldman Sachs or the health industry?

You must have a very cold heart if you can't see the passion and concern she has for what's she's saying.

You know, you don't have to come in and play a little game with other people's lives just because the person is for the opposing candidate. It's okay for you to have compassion for another human being even if they support someone other than who you support.

Disgusting.

18. Yall gettin' nervous?? We are all waking the fuck up to the bullshit! nt

[Hell Hath No Fury]

29. I type straight from the heart, maybe she did too.

As a local activist who speaks before audiences and City officials, I always speak from notes I have typed because I have severe anxiety about public speaking and become extremely tongue-tied without them. Doesn't make my sincerity about what I am saying any less.

[oasis]

31. Reading entirely from notes always detracts from the authenticity

and with it, the impact, of the message. In that particular setting, the young lady seemed to be getting across to the crowd well enough. I have no doubt about her commitment to Bernie, but if she continues to do her promotional presentations from notes, she will expose herself to the criticism that comes with it.

32. Public Speaking Skills 101 with oasis

Thanks for the lesson

[oasis]

36. Compliments of Bernie's free college for all plan.

Take notes and no sleeping in class.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

6. Excellent!

[Cheese Sandwich]

12. I thought so too.

[KeepItReal]

13. The Vanguard...Bravo!

The Bernie Revolution is here to stay.

[Cheese Sandwich]

21. I thought it very cool when everyone came on up stage.

[avaistheone1]

15. K&R

[senz]

17. "We don't care what you have to say, the Bernie revolution is here to stay!"

Great video, Cheese Sandwich! Darletta Scruggs is fabulous, a natural leader.

[Cheese Sandwich]

22. Yes! So many great leaders are coming up through the movement behind Bernie

The campaign will have a lasting impact that goes far beyond the election.

[LWolf]

19. She's a good speaker. nt

[Cheese Sandwich]

30. For sure.

Glad she's on our side.

[snagglepuss]

23. Powerful speaker who is clearly connecting with her audience.

Darletta is feel the Bern.

[Cheese Sandwich]

35. Yup. She did good.

I liked when everyone got up on stage too.

[John Poet]

24. Tell it, sister! K&R

[Romulox]

26. Nooo! DU's older white voters have already told us who minorities prefer. This is off script! nt

[Mother Of Four]

28. This is a woman to watch :)

She gave me goosebumps. Love her.

My husband thought I was crazy years ago when I said Obama was one to watch

I still tell him to this day "Uh huh... see, you need to listen to me." :p

[Cheese Sandwich]

37. For sure

Sounds like you have good instincts.

34. After 3 months in IA Sanders loses PoC vote by 25 points, this video was long ago and did

... nothing to help him in IA

[KeepItReal]

42. Of 6861 Black Iowa votes, Clinton got 3980 and Sanders got 2333 votes, approximately.

If African Americans voted in a pattern that mimics the "non-white" category they are placed in in the exit poll - 58% Hillary 34% Bernie

Someone will earn O'Malley's 6% of non-white voters.

Losing by 25 points sounds bad, but the numbers themselves show some solid votes for Sen. Sanders.

Can Sec. Clinton win a nomination with a split African-American vote?

[Cheese Sandwich]

43. Oh is that what it was?

Reading some of the posts on DU you would think he doesn't have any black support at all. They exaggerate the racial difference in the primary vote for the candidates and then gloat about it. It strikes me as really unseemly.

[jillan]

41. Clinton's not always friendly to black lives....
