A noticeably subdued Bernie Sanders rallies a Lancaster County university crowd

Compared to his electrifying podium performance earlier in the week at Pennsylvania's marquee university, Penn State, Sen. Bernie Sanders on Friday struck a noticeably more subdued tone as he addressed a crowd of about 2,800 at Millersville University in Lancaster County. The majority of the people in the crowd were students.

Sanders, who typically fires up raucous crowds with his raspy but thunderous voice, spoke in a far more measured tone Friday, although he generated from the crowd the same frenzied applause and cheers that have followed him on the campaign trail in recent months.

Sanders arrived in Lancaster County after making stops earlier in the day in Gettysburg and York County.

The Vermont Democrat touched upon now-familiar themes of his stump speeches - from the need for fundamental changes in this country, a corrupt Wall Street, a broken criminal justice system, the urgent need to address climate change and put a ban to building any more oil pipelines, among the topics.

I hope he tones it down and focuses more on attacking the Republicans.

Bernie Sanders Eases Off, Then Tees Off On Clinton

I'm glad that Bernie is still in campaign mode. He's a fighter and so are his supporters. This is a real campaign and just because Hillary and her supporters want a faux campaign doesn't mean they will get one. The fact that they are demanding one speaks volumes.

My grandmother grew up there. She wasn't Amish, but Church of the Brethren, also a peace church. I think it's something in the water.

It wouldn't surprise me if he wrapped it up after Tuesday if the results are not particularly good.
