Bernie Sanders visits Las Vegas ahead of NV caucus



LAS VEGAS (KSNV News3LV) — A packed gymnasium at Bonanza High school greeted a 74-year-old Independent Senator from Vermont, a "Democratic Socialist" by his own admission, like a rock star.

(snip)

"This country will not survive morally, it will not survive economically when so few have so much and so many have so little," Sanders said to cheers. "It's clear to me that when Mom is out working and when Dad's out working, and the kids are out working, wages in America are too damn low."

(snip)

In the crowd were people like Christopher Kennedy.

"I don't think that Bernie Sanders can deliver anything by himself," Kennedy told News 3 before the rally began. "What I think Bernie represents is motivating Americans to get back in and demand the things that they think will set America back on the right track."

As for Sanders overpromising, Bruce Weigman begged to differ.

"I have a message for Hillary," Weigman said to News 3 as we approached him. "Hillary, he may not be able to get it all done, but I know he'll try and that's good enough for me."
