6. Slightly misleading intro. Not one 10k crowd, but several crowds.

From the Common Dreams article ( http://www.commondreams.org/news/2015/08/23/bernie-sanders-attracts-10000-south-carolina-campaign-swing )

Friday morning, Sanders held a rally in Greenville, a conservative enclave in the northwest corner of the state, that drew an enthusiastic crowd of over 2,800, according to the campaign.
Friday afternoon, Bernie met with 50 pastors and community leaders, most of them black, at the Springfield Baptist Church in Greenville.
Friday evening, another 2,800 supporters crammed into a sweltering ballroom at the Medallion Conference Center in Columbia, the state capital, to hear Sanders, with the diverse crowd also filling up overflow areas. Sanders also met with met with black pastors in Columbia.
Saturday morning, over 600 turned out for Bernie in Sumpter.
Saturday evening, a crowd of over 3,100 people packed into the Charleston Convention Center in North Charleston where Sanders invoked the names of Michael Brown, Eric Garner, Freddie Gray and Walter Scott, all unarmed black men who died in the hands of police officers in a little over a year. "We are going to end institutional racism and we are going to transform and make changes in the criminal justice system that isn't working," he said to the loud cheering crowd.
