Bernie Sanders rally in L.A. brings out long line of supporters eager for anti-Wall Street message

http://www.latimes.com/politics/la-pol-ca-bernie-sanders-latimes-california-primary-20160323-story.html

'Bernie Sanders has soul and integrity. We can trust him.'

Sanders on California's primary: 'You're going to see me here more than you feel comfortable with'

"You're going to see me here more than you feel comfortable with," Sanders told the Los Angeles Times during a 50-minute meeting with the editorial board Tuesday. "We think we have a path to victory and that path absolutely has to come through California."

The Vermont senator noted only 630,000 people live in his state, and while it might rival California's progressiveness, "California is not Vermont ... it's an entirely different world for us and it is a little bit intimidating."

Voters preparing for the June 7 California primary shouldn't expect to see endless television campaign ads from Sen. Bernie Sanders for the next two and a half months.

Sanders said Wednesday during a visit to Los Angeles that instead he is counting on a ground game of liberal organizations — including the labor and environmental movements — to help him continue to attract large crowds and, he hopes, generate momentum.

...whose editorial board has almost always endorsed the wrong candidate or the wrong side of an initiative issue, against the common good. They even colluded in the Rovian campaign against our great Secretary of State, Kevin Shelley, who was going after Diebold just prior to the 2004 Bush/Cheney s/election. Shelley was taken down by our own state Democratic Party, with the help of the L.A. Times!

California is NOT going to be an easy campaign for Sanders, but then his campaign has never been easy--has always, indeed, been "impossible." But here he is, presenting the first big revolutionary challenge to the Democratic Party and to the Corporate Rulers whom they serve, since the Clintons began "triangulating."

'You're going to see me here more than you feel comfortable with.'

Gauntlet thrown!
