(27,817 posts)That's why OPs about how many show up at his rallies is a moot point.
morningfog
(18,115 posts)It's silly. No one can present a metric by which to compare what his vote total would be without the rallies as compared to his actual total. Without the rallies would he have 9.5 million and have prevented Hillary from clinching the nomination until the last day? Probably not. But there is no way to know.
NanceGreggs
(27,817 posts)... how many rallies there would have been, how many donations there would have been, or how many votes there would have been had Bernie not used the Democratic Party to further his own political ambitions.
But at least he was honest when asked - and admitted that it was all about the media attention he never would have gotten had he NOT used the Party as a means to his own selfish ends.

(18,115 posts)Not sure how it is at all relevant to this discussion.
NanceGreggs
(27,817 posts)... of where Bernie might be without the rallies.
So I brought up the topic of where Bernie might be without the Democratic Party - ya know, the Party he has been demeaning for decades, and continues to do so.
He would never have had the rallies, the money, or the votes if it wasn't for the Party he denigrates at every opportunity.
It's the tell of the grifter - find your mark, feign friendship, and then use them to get what you need to advance your own ambitions.

(18,115 posts)This thread is about the rallies.
NanceGreggs
(27,817 posts)... had Bernie not used the Democratic Party to further his own ambitions.
That's the same Party he now brags about having to battle against to get where he wants to be.

(18,115 posts)But we don't nominate based on the popular vote. We nominate by delegates and she hasn't secured the nomination yet.

(1,163 posts)My camera battery was getting very low and I only took a few phone pics, not very good ones.
I was there before 6:00 and took a lot of the crowd early on, some video of the #nurses4bernie:

Any pics of the crowd?
CentralCoaster
(1,163 posts)Hours before arrival:
I don't have any great crowd shots, the venue is a waterfront park and I wasn't at a vantage point to take it all in and neither were the still photographer's stands, which were closer to the stage.
And then he arrives!
