2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumBernie Sanders had approx 4000 people show up in Tulsa OK
Trump had around 1000 at his.
And OK is supposedly a red state.
Bill Clinton had a few hundred at his.
Bernies Sanders is packing them in more than any candidate everywhere he goes. His message is popular and catching fire! Feel the Bern!

(1,662 posts)So many empty seats at Trumps rally was very encouraging to me. Maybe this is the year OK turns it around If anybody can make this state go Blue it is Sanders.

(51,076 posts)we're both in our mid to late 60s and I have a problem with walking so we didn't do it. We were there in spirit and watched it on live stream.
The civics center where it was held was packed full and its a big ass building. Raunchy crowd too. Makes this old madokie one happy okie
I've talked to many republiCONs who say they like what they hear him saying and that they'll vote for him if he is our candidate. Maybe we can turn oklahoma blue, well maybe Bernie can.

(358 posts)crap-poor coverage from all: msm/cm includes c-span which covers bernie's small stuff but trump/repubs 'small to all'
bernie's great speech summation (please go to roughly time 50:30): "don't tell me that veterans in this country have to sleep out on the street..."
tulsa npr put the crowd at 10,000 - may include the thousands that couldn't get in that bernie mentioned early on in the following vid (i think this was from bernie2016tv channel on youtube)
