“The powers that run this country – corporate America, Wall Street, large campaign donors – are so powerful that no candidate alone can bring about the transformation that working families and the middle class need,” Sanders said. “What we are saying is that millions of people have to stand up, have to fight back and make it clear that the government of the United States belongs to all of us …” he said as cheers of “Bernie, Bernie, Bernie” drowned him out.

8. Fantastic that he is seeing this groundswell in his lifetime. Probably only in his wildest dreams.

And I could only imagine a candidate like Bernie in my wildest dreams. I can take the clothespin off my nose for the first time in decades.

In a stirring speech fueled by the excited crowd, Sanders spoke about ending a corrupt campaign finance system that props up a rigged economy. He also said no president could take on those forces without a grassroots uprising that would upend Washington.

“The powers that run this country – corporate America, Wall Street, large campaign donors – are so powerful that no candidate alone can bring about the transformation that working families and the middle class need,” Sanders said. “What we are saying is that millions of people have to stand up, have to fight back and make it clear that the government of the United States belongs to all of us …” he said as cheers of “Bernie, Bernie, Bernie” drowned him out.

Thanks for the thread, SheenaR.

7. 1000's never got in - and more never got past the security screeners

9. Poor Rachel. How will she explain this lack of enthusiasm.

[TTUBatfan2008]

12. She can begin...

...by acknowledging that her network and others along with the DNC debate schedule deliberately tried to keep this guy under the radar of the public by giving him a tiny fraction of airtime compared to Trump/Clinton and the GOP clown show.

Didn't someone declare the surge was over?
