Don't think so.

Bernie gets thousands, HRC can't fill a bowling alley.

He did a zillion of them in Iowa.

He did one in a poor neighborhood of North Minneapolis in late February.

He did one with Spike Lee and Harry Belafonte at The Apollo in NYC on April 9.

He still needs to raise funds for those rallies but David Plouffe, Obama's former campaign manager, said recently that Sanders needs to re-access his fund raising tactics because to continue to solicit funds when there is clearly no path to victory is fraud.
