Check this OUT! Bernie Brings Out The Crowds in Kansas & Nebraska! Unbelievable!

Believe In Bernie ?@ND4Bernie 33m33 minutes ago
Manhattan, KS caucus update Berners have taken up most of the floor are all of the way to other side of the wall!



Just a few samples of what is going on in Kansas and Nebraska today!

Did someone say 'will those huge crowds translate into VOTES?

Looks like the answer is yes!

Can't even find Hillary's supporters.

THIS is why they are trying to END the election after the seven Southern states where the turnout was dismal because they KNOW that from now on, this election will go to Bernie.

Check this link out to see just bad it is for Hillary today:

This election HAS JUST STARTED and no way are they going to stop it!

21. In 2008 my caucus location was a church.
Sat Mar 5, 2016, 07:21 PM
Mar 2016

Not a great big huge mega church. We started lining up an hour or so before the doors opened, and after a while the pastor of the church came by and said it could only hold 300 people and the rest of us needed to leave. We explained politely that it didn't work that way. In the end, they let people in in groups of 300, divided up into groups, counted, then let the next batch in. The doors were opened at about 6, and the entire thing wasn't over until after 11pm.

At the place where my son and some other friends caucused today, the crowd was so huge the Bernie supporters wound up outside to be counted. The final tally at that location was Sanders 944, Clinton 488. At least one other caucus location had over 4,000 people, I'm told. These are in Johnson Country, KS, by the way.

Thanks for your post. I don't think they could turn people away. This isn't a third world dictatorship, yet.

But 4000 people! Bernie IS exciting the voters, we knew this. But the DNC is trying to hide this fact, focusing on those seven states.

60. Our caucus had a rule
Sat Mar 5, 2016, 08:08 PM
Mar 2016

that if you were on line at 3:00 you got in. That is why we ran so late the line was still long at 3, well that and the fact that they ran out of all the paperwork! We did not mind waiting for that!

Anyone who showed up after 3:00 was supposed to be turned away so the process could get started. I don't know what they actually did, perhaps since they had to wait for paperwork they may have let them in. I was not moving, the Bernie side was on overflow and I wanted to stay in my place!

This was the best handled caucus I have ever attended. They had tons of help and when it came to counting it was all done with hands raised so our armbands could be seen. They counted in their sections then they traded sections and all Bernie people got counted by both Bernie people and Hillary people and then they huddled. If there was a mismatch they counted again. It took a while but was very open and up front.

not gone unnoticed as we all remember when she said she MIGHT consider Obama as her VP when in fact it was clear she was by then, losing.

i like to remember these things. She's doing it again, so to me it is a good sign. She KNOWS what's coming, she does well only with Blue Dogs and Conservo Dems and those states are almost all over. Things going to be uphill for Bernie from now on.

So expect Hillary to declare victory often from now on.

2 to 1 for Bernie. They had to ask the Hillary people to move to the auditorium so we could take the entire gym. Record turnout all over Kansas. Record turnout all over Topeka for the dems.

I must say the volunteers did a wonderful job. It was pleasant if you can handle the long wait. At least Bernie's people brought free water!

I was at Topeka West. I saw pictures from other caucuses that were amazing, must have been from yours. I know the location only of one other, Landon.

half the time I was there watching you guys! Getting FB posts from others who were there. So much excitement! I had a friend who was working at Landon today. I bet she was really busy!

I have that feeling, though, as well, that Kansas felt the Bern in a big way

they finally did grudgingly announce the win three hours AFTER we already knew, there were no numbers on Kansas.

Bernie brings out the crowds and when that happens, HE wins. Low turnout in the Southern states and Hillary wins.

She does well with Conservo Dems, not well at all with Progressives and no crossover appeal.

Bernie will do this. He's amazing.

……election monitors so every single one of these votes is counted.

Don't like at all what happened in VA where 600 Bernie votes went missing. Along with other issues. Like Bill looking over everyone's shoulder.

Quite average. Democratic turnout is still pretty low. So that would suggest that the crowds aren't really all that big and the "movement" isn't really moving that many people.

Want to know why?

111. The crowds in Kansas and Nebraska were huge, bigger than in 2008. Same thing today in Mich.

Want to know why? Because the Political Movement is real and it will only continue to grow. There are now 193 'Bernie Democrats' running for Public Office on Bernie's platform.

For a beginning movement it may be breaking records.

BERNIE WON MICHIGAN! Thanks to record breaking turnout!

the Machinists Union Hall in Wichita (NOT Witchita) there were so many Bernie supporters that we had to go outside to be counted. Final tally was Bernie 628 to Hillary's 163. Not. Even. Close. Bud.
