I hope it wasn't intended to undermine the campaign.

She has several shots of the crowd in a more panoramic view on her feed. Shows at least 1,500 to 2,000.

Have been noticing a few things today that seem like they're either underhanded or just screw-ups. Will take the latter any day.

Even if the estimate ends up a bit lower than 2,000, the point is that the crowd was much too large for the original venue, which seems to be the going thing at Bernie appearances.

Other candidates, the Big Money and the mainstream media.

They don't know what to do with this.

that makes me a little nervous. Hope he has protection. Have listened to him on Thom Hartmann's "Brunch with Bernie" for years and know that he is calm, realistic, and courageous -- not the least bit naive -- but would not like to lose this good man who is waking America up at a very late hour.

Where did you hear/see that?

I'd like to have that linked in this thread.

I guess I could go look at his schedule.

Democratic presidential candidate and U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., on Sunday will speak at the Loras College Athletic and Wellness Center rather than the Fieldhouse.

The free-to-attend event will begin at 6 p.m. The new location for the town meeting was necessary due to “mounting” turnout projections, according to a press release from Sanders’ campaign.
