I guess we're just so used to it.

18,000 turned out to see Bernie yesterday in Denver. As we've seen, it is not meaningless that so many show up at his rallies. It's about commitment and solidarity as much as anything.

3. I watched the live feed

Bernie is getting better and better at his speeches! He really knocks it out of the park!

5. How many of those 18,000 were registered voters?

[zeemike]

7. Most if not all.

Who would be motivated to go to a rally but not motivated to vote?
That's a silly question.

16. Now that points out a big difference between you and I. You say how many registered voters,

and I say how may of these people will end up voting for Hillary?

[George II]

22. If it was a Hillary Clinton rally I might ask that, but it was a Sanders rally, and....

....he's on Face the Nation at this very moment, now it's 20,000 people.

19. I Like that:)

[Fuddnik]

11. Yeah, but at least 17,500 of those were staffers, security, and press.

[mountain grammy]

12. NOTHING on the local news about this rally.

[Divernan]

13. "Meanwhile, Hillary's rally at 16th street mall. Maybe 25 people."

There's a photo in the comments section to the OP link!

I was wondering if she'd scheduled an event before the Democratic dinner.

14. We're going to see Bernie in Ypsilanti tomorrow.

I wonder if we'll be able to get in.

17. Clinton was in Denver at Manual High School

Probably can hold 2k in an auditorium or 2.5k in a gym.

Was looking for pics, but couldn't see the crowd size. It was probably pathetic.

18. Upon hearing how may attended Bernie's rally Hillary started writing some figures on a paper.

18,000 X $2,700 = Wow

[litlbilly]

20. The only reason they cover trump rallys: They usually beat someone up so there is blood. You know

the old saying, "If It Bleeds, it Leads'

21. Thank you Mr. Capehart!

I really do think his incoherent flailing backfired in a huge way.

ETA: There's an interesting video a little way down. Truly sounds like a man with a script to me.

23. As an African-American i LOVE this man!

My biggest concern is the need to remove money out of politics and i am so glad he is the first (excluding Lessig) to not be afraid to bring it to the big stage. My vote will always be Bernie.
