About 25 percent still do not know his face or his platform. That can be attributed to the MSM "shuttering" his candidacy (as well as that of Martin O'Malley) to promote the campaign they preferred.

He is doing great so far at hitting so many different planks in his platform. I wonder what it would be like to be a voter sitting out there, never having heard his message before. I am thinking they will be terribly inspired.

Nice to run into you again, pacalo!

He knows he has the platform now as the winner of this primary. He knows that a lot of people will be watching to learn who this guy is. Who is this guy that beat Hillary? They want to know why he is doing so well. So he's giving his platform speech that many have not heard before. He is using the media to his advantage now. He knows that the MSM will not cut him off tonight. This is a brilliant move.

We are all in this together.

All that free media exposure into terrains that don't even know his name yet. Many of them know it now!

after sending $50 earlier I just tried sending another smaller donation, but Act Blue is still spinning after several minutes.

The media ignored Sanders and his message and great that he was afforded time tonight.

He is going to give our country away. Then started in saying he couldn't believe all the money being spent on ads by the special interests ....

Outsourcing & trade policies are Republican/Third Way values. Not Bernie's.

Bernie would straighten him out in a debate.
