Be afraid, Republicans...Houston rally (also) moved to larger venue.

[merrily]

It was supposed to be a town meeting, but.....

The Sanders campaign announced the change in venue for the Democratic candidate’s Houston, TX rally on July 19, “With turnout projections mounting, U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders’ campaign has shifted the location of Sunday’s town meeting in Houston, Texas, to the Hofheinz Pavilion.”

These events were intended to be town hall meetings, but demand is so high that format has been getting changed to a campaign rally. I anticipate that the Houston event will also be more of a rally than a town hall.

.......................

Bernie Sanders is demonstrating that there is and huge demand among red state liberals for their candidates. Democrats and liberals in red states are often unfairly forgotten and lumped in with Republicans. Sen. Sanders is making an effort to campaign in front of these voters and ask for their support.

Be afraid Republicans, because Bernie Sanders is showing the country the potential power of liberal populist ideas in red states.

2. As I've said before- The Bernie Rule

When Bernie comes to town, find the biggest place you can to hold his meeting, and Hope it is big enough!

3. Bernie's 50-state strategy.

There's a whole lot of good liberals in red states. The Third Way considers them expendable...Bernie is reaching out to them, making them excited and proud to finally have a candidate to support. Go Bernie!

4. Many of whom are probably demoralized and no longer feel their vote counts.

Many may not even bother with voting, or even registering to vote.

If we can reach them, the election is ours

5. Yes, exactly!

25 years of DLC/Third Way has left many Democrats demoralized and given up. Bernie is bringing them back.
There are some republicans that feel the same way, and look at Bernie and say "I like this guys message, he's a straight shooter"
A candidate who's consistent, honest, not beholden to Goldman Sachs, and cares about the 99%...what's not to like?
