Well, me and about 1500 other people.
It was supposed to be a small Q&A but too many people RSVP'd.
A few thousand people showed up to support him.
Sanders: 'I am getting a very good feeling about Iowa'

(42,641 posts)Bernie Sanders gets zero mention in the local media. Trump is covered every day. And Chicago is the third largest city in the country, with numerous newspapers and television outlets.

(628 posts)2x this morning on channel 2. First was a story about him being in Chicago today. I never expected them to even announce that. Right after that they did a story about a site called Nantique.com. They are fundraising for Bernie.
As I'm typing, WGN just announced they are going to have a story about his visit to Chicago today. It's a start.

(11,366 posts)I was a local reporter. Most of these people live in their communities and care about them. They're not DC or NY or LA denizens who cater to their corporate masters.
P.S. And most of them are paid less than teachers, so they're certainly NOT the 1 percent.

Seats were full. A few dozen people had to stand.

(360 posts)I wanna see the pics of Hillary's Crowds... They aren't posted by the campaign, they are publicized by the media, they aren't posted by Clinton supporters; and you have to ask yourself why. Oh ya her support is a fiction created by her campaign, PACS, the corporate media, and paid for polls. It doesn't really exist. There is no ground swell of support out there pushing for Clinton to be anything but retired.

(6,440 posts)The one thing that Hillary has going for her is name recognition, and I would have expected that to translate into people turning out to see her in person, despite the massive enthusiasm gap between her and Bernie.
