1. Beat me by a minute

Thanks for the link!

Go Bernie!

[Lifelong Protester]

2. Making a post so I can find this again.

Thanks!

4. 28.000 in Portland last night.

Will that be a record number?

[whatchamacallit]

6. Getting around LA in rush hour(s) is hell

Hopefully it won't deter too many.

[LWolf]

9. I hope not.

I left LA traffic behind more than a decade ago, and just remembering it gives me shudders.

[LibDemAlways]

49. I live out in the burbs. If there was no traffic, it

would take me 40 minutes to get to the Sports Arena. On a Monday at rush hour, minimum two hours and probably more. Love Bernie. He has my vote. Wish there was a decent public transportation alternative, but there isn't. Live streaming is my friend.

[Fawke Em]

16. This forum is smaller.

It only seats 14,000 to 16,000, depending on configuration.

However, Twitter denizens are reporting that it's already thousands over capacity.

Not sure he'll break the 28,000 since it's a smaller venue. All depends on who hangs around outside. The venue is reporting they will be airing the speech to those outside, though.

37. Portland has an awesome public transit system

LA...not so much! There are probably another 27,000 still stuck on the roads trying to get there

[grasswire]

39. oh very, very true

I live in a suburb, but I can be at the door of the Portland venue in twenty minutes via light rail.

[Fawke Em]

42. LOL.

I asked a friend who lives a little north of L.A. if she was going and she said she'd be in traffic for six hours on a school night, so she couldn't go.

I looked on a map and she's really not that far away, so I asked (since I have no idea about traffic in L.A.) and she said she wasn't that far, but traffic is that bad.

[LibDemAlways]

50. She wasn't exaggerating. The probability of

a traffic nightmare kept me home as well. One recent weeknight it took me 3 hours to travel a distance that should have taken 45 minutes. It's that bad.

[think]

5. Looks like the Bernie2016.tv team has got things going a little smoother tonight!

I really appreciate all they do to put this together. It's an all volunteer effort.

[kenn3d]

7. Yes! Bernie2016 tv - Big Kudos

They're doing a great job .... very cool pre-rally show now showing clips from Face the Nation Sunday
Bernie is such a class-act... He is the real deal folks.

[sabrina 1]

53. Yes, he IS a class act. And the real deal. And people are responding to

him because he is also honest.

[unapatriciated]

Hope they've got some kind of overflow venue coverage worked out

[redwitch]

14. K & R

Very happy to see his large crowds, would love to go to a rally and hear him speak.

[Fawke Em]

15. Oh, Sorry!

Didn't see this thread when I started mine.

I'll just post here what I posted in mine (I'll delete mine):

Pic of the thousands waiting in line:

L.A. denizens say the crowd is thousands over capacity:

17. Don't Be... Dupes Are Allowed, And Your Post Brought Me To This One... Thank You

[Fawke Em]

19. Glad to help.

I would just rather it all be in one thread so I don't have to keep up with two of them. LOL!

[WillyT]

22. I Feel Your Pain...

[kenn3d]

18. Thanks for the queue pic and twitter feed Fawke

Wi-fi is failing inside the venue
4G is failing
Parking is full
Lines outside are still very long
Not sure we'll get a decent feed, but believe this... LA is rockin' for Bernie!

[Fawke Em]

21. I take it that you're there? eom

[Fawke Em]

20. Not directly related to the live event, but I thought this was cute.

And, being the daughter and granddaughter of nurses, it made me smile.

48. Funny!

@PlummerJason

Ok this event has become standing room only. Thought that only happened at soccer matches #FeelTheBern #BernieInLA

7:29 PM - 10 Aug 2015 from Los Angeles, CA

24. Full House

Poor feed folks, sorry the internet can't seem to hold him... but Bernie is speaking to the world again... he's yuuuge!

[Fawke Em]

32. Here's a better video link:

25. 27,000 people with overflow?

I think he just said that.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

27. Yes he did

[Fawke Em]

31. 16,500 inside

10,500 outside.

The venue had to add more big screens outside for the overflow crowd.

[yuiyoshida]

26. K&R

[Cosmic Kitten]

28. 27,000+ in attendance

Nice turnout LA!

[zeemike]

35. He is wasting money on these big events.

I actually saw someone make that argument.
I guess it makes more sense to hold small ones and charge 2700 bucks to get in...in some minds anyway.

But he is pulling a Truman on Hillary...taking it to the people. Dewey did what Hillary is doing and for the same reason, he thought he had it in the bag because Harry was a bumpkin.

Give em hell Bernie!!!

[Cosmic Kitten]

36. Wasting money? I guess meeting with 100 millionaires is a better "investment"

[Fawke Em]

43. Ha!

I'm betting, like an article I saw earlier today, that the M$M will be in total shock when the next reporting of donation amounts come in.

His small donations have probably shot through the roof as a result of these rallies. He and a small staff fly out to the West Coast and probably spent, what, $10,000 for airfare and hotels. Maybe even as much as $20,000 (doubtful, though, since he takes business class flights). And then he "meets," collectively, with 70,000 people in three days. I bet the return on investment of this trip is probably so a high that a Wall Streeter would be proud if he'd thought it up.

[oregonjen]

51. The price of the venues were probably pretty hefty, though

[Fawke Em]

54. True.

But I still think the followers he gained still made the trip highly profitable both in monetary measure and in picking up foot soldiers and donors.

[azmom]

29. How exciting. Go LA

[Fawke Em]

30. ATTENTION: BETTER LIVE STREAM HERE

http://livestream.com/randomhouzeproductions/events/4260534

Hope you got to see Sarah Silverman introduce him!

[kenn3d]

33. Excellent!

Thank you Fawke

[Fawke Em]

34. Bump for exposure...

[slipslidingaway]

38. Kick! And 27,000 people inside and outside. n/t

[ZX86]

40. Great turn out!

GO Bernie!

[arcane1]

52. Is there a way to donate to them to keep them going?

I don't really need to watch but I would love to support!!!

[Uncle Joe]

46. Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread, kenn.

Apologies to the large crowds who couldn't fit indoors at tonight's rally.

[hedda_foil]

57. The overflow is massive. Most candidates would be thrilled with that many people alone.

It looks like a yuuuge outdoor rally.
