[2banon]

21. Really?! fabulous!

[Agschmid]

23. They were not sure if they will carry it, I switched to the live stream.

[2banon]

74. I cut the cord w/cable and sat. totally depend on the intertubes..

this worked well.. very glad to have caught it in time. it was pretty damn good speech. down thread I wondered out loud if Russ Feingold might be in the crowd, since it's his state, and golly gee, Citizens United right?.. so some one couldn't wait to assert that Feingold is in NY backing HRC.

Disappointing if true, given I had thought I had recognized an authentic and principled character in Feingold.

[Bonobo]

11. Youtube does live streaming now?

Old, I am old.

[Agschmid]

12. Technically it's all Google at this point, but yes they do.

[Agschmid]

13. @TheNation

Bernie Sanders, the only candidate to not accept money from Fossil Fuel Companies.

Also she predicts the surge will continue.

[DCBob]

16. That guy talking now doesnt look like Bernie ??

[Agschmid]

18. Haha it's not.

He's next!

The union support will really play in some states say Wisconsin where one of the RW candidates might come from.

Good to hear.

[DCBob]

24. Guess Bernie needs a warm up act.

[Agschmid]

26. He's on now!

Biggest rally crowd yet.

[DCBob]

27. cool.. thanks!

[2banon]

19. I love John Nickles . I wish he would run for House Rep or Senate. n/t

[riversedge]

25. i have talked to him a few times--he is a journalist and he

loves what he does.

[YoungDemCA]

20. It's Madison. Of course he will attract a big crowd there...

nt

[Agschmid]

28. He's on fire.

[riversedge]

29. ha ha. going after Claire and her comments about extremism

[Kalidurga]

30. There are almost 5500 watching on YouTube

[Agschmid]

31. Politics isn't a soap opera...

It's about people coming together to help other people.

Hell yes...

[Mnpaul]

32. Lecturing the Republicans on extremism

[cantbeserious]

33. I Will No Longer Settle For The Lesser Of Two Corporate Evils - Go Bernie Go

eom

[orpupilofnature57]

35. Plans, not platitudes & poetry

Thank You RBIinMaine .

[Chiquitita]

36. 6,143 people watching now on youtube n/t

[Agschmid]

37. We only count as one watching but all four family members are watching at my house.

Even the Hillary folks...

Just saying.

[DCBob]

38. I know its Wisconsin but you have to notice there are no non-white faces in that crowd.

At least not in the front rows.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

39. It's Wisconsin.

[DCBob]

42. There must be some minorities there... it is a big university.

Just remarkable don't even see one non-white face.

[winter is coming]

44. It's July. How many undergraduates would be in Madison? n/t

[Chiquitita]

46. Madison is 75% white and 7% Black

http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/55/5548000.html

[DCBob]

47. So that's 1 in 10.... I don't see a single one in any of the photos or when they scan the crowd.

Is it possible they are not as fired up about Bernie as some white folk are?

[Chiquitita]

67. I know you are just concerned, but I can't help myself.

Saw several Black attendees at the close of the speech when the camera showed the crowd moving around. Also, my son is fb'ing with some friends whose families are there. So, make of it what you will DCBob.

[DCBob]

72. Several is nice but probably not enough to make an impact.

I think Bernie has a big problem with minorities. It will really begin to show in the southern states.

[Mnpaul]

82. A single one?

I can see them in the second row - post #52.

Maybe you should have listened to his speech and heard what he said about the politics of division.

[Le Taz Hot]

69. I heard the campaign sent out notices that no POC

would be allowed in.

[glinda]

75. What is POC?

[Le Taz Hot]

79. People of Color

[peacebird]

55. Thank you for your concern. Duly noted.

[DCBob]

56. You should also be concerned if you are a Bernie supporter or a Democrat.

He will need minority voters to win the primary and the general if he is the nominee.

[peacebird]

58. Ok, just an fyi- today we have posted several different videos and memes from AA's & millenials

Who love Bernie. Frankly he is doing fine there, but, heck, keep posting your 'concerns' about him.

[DCBob]

59. That's nice.. but I need to see numbers to be convinced.

[peacebird]

62. Like ~10k for Bernie in Wisconsin tonight? The largest rally of the election season?

Or 200k individual donations to his campaign?

Check out the POC for Bernie facebook group perhaps, I could point out more, but frankly I think your 'concern' is not really about who supports Bernie....

[DCBob]

78. That is impressive but I think his appeal is limited and regional.

[Beagle One]

84. That's where you would be wrong.

Denver, Bernie's visit, garnered 6,000+ people, which up until today, was the largest town hall meeting/rally.

I also know that Bernie has gotten about 3,000 in Las Vegas. It continues to grow.

You are very much sorely mistaken on your assumptions and theories on how Bernie's peak is. I got news for you, pal - Bernie just barely started. His upside is unlimited and hasn't peaked yet. Clinton, on the other hand, has been running since 1992, has 100% national recognition, and how is her favorables? Polls show her favorables aren't as high as one would find in a Democratic President.

Has anyone analyzed Bernie's favorables?

Oh, and one other question I have for Clinton supporters: Where does she stand on income inequality?

[DCBob]

86. We shall see.. but all the polling so far indicates I am right.

[Beagle One]

87. Tomorrow Iowa polls are going to be out.

We'll see if Bernie rises from his 15% from last month's polls..

I think we will see a significant jump.

[madokie]

93. Early on it was

but, but, but New Hampshire is next door

this is Wisconsin, many miles away and that place is packed

[frylock]

70. Speaking of numbers, did you get a head count of white people at Sanders' rally tonight?

[Bonobo]

40. OMG, he brought up African-Americans!

He's reading DU!!!

[Rosa Luxemburg]

81. I'm sure

and he will be saying a lot more...

[2banon]

41. OMG I just saw the span of the audience. It's HUGE turnout! WOW!

[passiveporcupine]

43. I'm going to write to Bernie to ask him to consider

a pardon and a cleared record for everyone in jail now for a minor drug possession. Even if it was their "3rd" time that made them go to jail...especially if all their crimes were minor, non aggressive drug busts.

We need to turn these kids/adults, especially if of color, and give them a chance in today's society, without a felony hanging over their head and preventing them from getting decent jobs.

[winter is coming]

45. +1. n/t

57. OMG!!!

[Jefferson23]

88. Thank you for that, riversedge. n/t

[2banon]

49. I wonder if Russ Feingold is anywhere in the audience...??

[brooklynite]

54. I was with Russ last week at a private event in NYC...

I can guarantee you that everyone there supporting him was also supporting Clinton...and he'll be supporting her too.

[2banon]

60. .

[brooklynite]

94. Just to clarify: was that directed to me or Russ Feingold?

[Indepatriot]

92. Well, if you say so................ I guess we should pack up our progressive dreams

and vote for one of the 2 Wall Street Candidates. Thank you so much for clearing this up, I almost wasted a bunch of time and money trying to elect someone who won't sell my children's future to the Oligarchy. Thanks again! I'm gonna go see if Hillary has tweeted anything more about fighting for the working class.....

[ChiciB1]

50. THANK YOU! Kicking For Bernie! n/t

[2banon]

53. Every Public Institution Tuition Free..

[Agschmid]

61. Rachel really talked about how many people are there.

And how it's the biggest crowd yet!

[K lib]

63. I see some black people in the picture

[Rosa Luxemburg]

64. I love it! He's talking about civil rights!

[Cheese Sandwich]

65. we can win!

I just caught the end of it. So exciting.

[totodeinhere]

66. The speech just finished. What an inspiring speech.

The thing I admire about Bernie more than anything else is his candor and honesty. There is no beating around the bush with him. He says exactly what he thinks and exactly what he will do when elected. Contrast that with some of the other weasels who are running.

His voice did sound kind of rough presumably from speaking so much. I hope he can take care of that. We need him to have a strong clear voice even if it means taking a day or two off to heal.

[Mnpaul]

76. It was a great speech

Telling us what we can do instead of telling us what can't be done. Telling us that we are all in this together not splitting us into factions and pitting us against each other. This movement will continue to grow as more people hear his message.

[narnian60]

85. I, too,

am worried about his voice.

[K lib]

68. FEEL THE BERN:

candle:

[Peace Patriot]

71. Wow! White hair, balding, slightly stooped, no tie!

And a voice that is strong but not mesmerizing. He is so-o-o-o-o-o unlike our typical politicians. No airbrushing. Very little or no image-management. It's a remarkable experience just looking at this seemingly ordinary, older man, and listening to WHAT HE HAS TO SAY!

It's...what is the word...



...EXCITING!

[Rosa Luxemburg]

80. It was like he was talking to me in my living room

He is so natural and speaks from the heart. He is extremely competent.

[Mnpaul]

90. It is easy to be natural

When you aren't peddling a pile of horse crap. His voice is one of his assets. He is easy to understand and his deep voice carries well.

[Magleetis]

73. I missed it

Can't find a link. A little help please.

[Mnpaul]

91. The replay is up now

click on the video in the OP

77. Record Breaking Crowd Of 10,000-13,000

89. Love it, he looks

…really good. But I feel the mike wasn't loud enough. Need to have better, more supportive tech.

Go Bernie!
