I watched it.

Bernie is not a man who says what he thinks people want to hear, he says what he believes. He's incredibly honest.

When he came through and admitted his feelings about a woman having rights about her body, not the government, and did not attack them for making abortion a difficult choice, some people clapped, but not many.

He addressed the crowd as tho they had great concern for children and then told them that a Republican congress reduced taxes for the 1% wealthy and cut several food programs that helped needy children.

The spiritual director of the college who sat next to him during the Q and A asked the audience to pray for Bernie, and told Bernie that, 'You've made friends here," and it sounded like he meant it.
