Sanders San Diego Rally Draws Tens of Thousands, Majority Young Voters
A very impressive turnout for Sanders!
Sanders San Diego Rally Draws Tens of Thousands, Majority Young Voters
Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders held a campaign rally in San Diego, Calif. on Tuesday.An estimated 30,000 people showed up to the San Diego Convention Center for the event, as the line to get into the rally backed up for miles and wrapped all the way around the bay.
The majority of attendees were millennials, sporting signs, shirts, and buttons with phrases like "San Diego Feels the Bern,” "Bernie Trumps Hillary," and even “Burners for Bernie."Overwhelmed by the large supporter turnout, officials at the San Diego Convention Center had to open two overflow rooms with audio and video in addition to the main hall that holds over 10,000 seats. Both overflow rooms were filled nearly a full two hours before Sanders took the main stage. The Vermont senator addressed his supporters on Tuesday around 8:30 PM Pacific time as the polls closed in Arizona, Idaho, and Utah. Sanders took both Idaho and Utah, meanwhile his rival Hillary Clinton won Arizona, a winner-take-all state, allowing her to maintain her lead of more than 700 delegates in the race for the Democratic Party's presidential nomination.
Confident in his prospects of winning Utah and Idaho, Sanders said during his speech Tuesday night, "When we began this campaign, we were considered a fringe candidacy... Well, 10 months later, we have now won 10 primaries and caucuses. And, unless I'm very mistaken, we're gonna win a couple more tonight."

Sanders' campaign projects a strong performance during Saturday's trio of caucuses in Washington, Alaska, and Hawaii.He also hopes to do well in California's presidential primary election on June 7.
“We hold these truths to be self-evident,” former vice president Biden said during a campaign event in Texas on Monday. "All men and women created by — you know, you know, the thing.”

If all those young get out and vote in November this will be an even more unusual election than it already is.

What I like is the energy he has brought to the race. When no one thought he had a chance he kept at it!
He was written off as the crazy uncle. Surprise! People are truly looking for a different choice than the old, worn out establishment choice being pushed by the Democrat party.
The Democrat party has done everything to stack the deck against him and he is still fighting.
Given them hell Bernie!

Change the name to Trump and the Republican Party and you can use the same set of sentences.

One little correction there ......... it's not the 'Democrat Party', it's the 'Democratic Party'. It's a subtle difference in spelling, but it's a big deal among Limbaugh followers. He likes to emphasize the word 'rat'. Although I don't think anyone on this board would be dumb enough to fall for that guy's crap. Hey, how about we refer to the 'Republican Party' as the 'Republic Party'? Doesn't sound right, does it?

If that's the case... Ted Cruz is a republican, and Hillary Clinton is a democratic?
