Bernie Sanders packs thousands into a Denver gymnasium
The extraordinary turnout was the latest evidence that Sanders, 73, has tapped into the economic anxiety of the Democratic electorate. In recent weeks, his crowds have swelled, and his poll numbers have been on the rise, particularly in New Hampshire, the nation’s first primary state.

Sanders touched on familiar themes during his speech, which was streamed live on social media sites Saturday night. He called the nation’s current minimum wage of $7.25 “a starvation wage.” He lamented that the United States does not guarantee medical leave and vacation time. He derided a trade deal being pushed by President Obama, and he urged that more be done to combat climate change.

3. I wished I could have met you,

but perhaps we can arrange that for the next time.
BTW after watching other videos of his general
speech, he seemed a bit tired. I also had hoped for
just 3-5 questions from the audience, to prove
his accessibility again. (not for myself)

Still it was good to get a little better impression
than just watching him on videos or TV.

4. i was hoping for some questions, too

the travel and the altitude might have wiped him out a bit.

i think we should just arrange a "just because" meetup at some point. there's a fair number of duers in our neck of the woods.
