I've heard a projection for 30,000 in Austin for Bernie today

[virtualobserver]

I guess they didn't get the memo.

[kennetha]

1. His total vote

[djean111]

2. Your nastiness sorta typifies how I think of Hillary and her supporters.

Which is why I will never support her. Thanks!
Oh, and I have been a Democrat all of my long life, I know a Democrat when I see one - and the real Democrat is Bernie. Hillary is a corporate Third Wayer. My dad was a precinct worker, took me to see JFK give a campaign speech. My dad would be disgusted at what the Democratic ooze to the right, engineered by the Third Way, has done to the party.

[artislife]

6. Sometimes I imagine

certain posters crying this time next year about how it was supposed to be h in the WH and I do my best cackle.

[marions ghost]

56. with ya

[tk2kewl]

11. "It's the entitlement stupid"

[Jitter65]

34. You call that humorous statement "nasty?" nt

[kennetha]

36. What can't take a joke?

And Bernie doesn't agree with your dad about JFK

JFK made Bernie sick cause of his hatred for Castro.

Vermont senator and Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders once said that he was "physically nauseated" by a speech made by President John F. Kennedy when Sanders was a young man, because Kennedy's "hatred for the Cuban Revolution [...] was so strong."

[demmiblue]

3. Nasty. n/t

[virtualobserver]

[PonyUp]

[cherokeeprogressive]

38. Wow. They found a jury without one person who hates me.

What are the chances of THAT happening twice lol.

Thanks!

[CorkySt.Clair]

41. Like a Bernie fan would get a hide here

[Barack_America]

5. Don't they know that he gave up on Texas and it's all over?

[HereSince1628]

7. The plan for today is lots of coverage and BIG CELEBRATION of HRC's SC win

Make the win bigger than reality so that it impacts realty.

I actually expect it to work pretty much as planned.

[Rebkeh]

31. Nailed it ^

We know better though.

Bernie will win the GE

[OkSustainAg]

9. Has Hillary had any big rallies?

Just a question. Maybe that should be the news.

[think]

12. Heard she got a few thousand in Houston. Probably had some OK showings elsewhere.

But nothing like Bernie....

[think]

10. Thousands wait in line to see Bernie Sanders in Austin

?w=650

http://kxan.com/2016/02/27/thousands-wait-in-line-to-see-bernie-sanders-in-austin/

[virtualobserver]

13. I thought about going, but I injured my knee.

I was worried that the line would be too long.

It is longer than my wildest expectations.

[think]

14. Wanted to go as well. I'm in Round Rock. But didn't hear about it until late last night.

Sounds like it was a last minute add to the schedule.

Kind of hate going to events by myself and no time to find anyone that would want to go. Poor excuse but I'm just not as spontaneous as I use to be. Frustrating....

[Tom Rinaldo]

15. I bet you would have a blast if you went anyway

You would probably be buzzing for a week. Just saying. But if you don't there are other ways to show your support for Bernie.

[think]

17. Ya. It would have been energizing for sure. I made sure to post it on craigslist last night

in the politics section so it would get a little more exposure.

Being is was a last minute deal it's great to see so many showing up.

[senz]

18. We NEVER see this for Hillary. Never.

[marions ghost]

57. Yall Rock

[senz]

16. Austin is so enlightened. They will LOVE Bernie!

[brooklynite]

19. Current results suggest the size of rallies doesn't translate to the size of voters...

...just like with Howard Dean.

Add to which, my experience with Sanders rallies is that he is talking to people already supporting him. Maybe Clinton voters don't need to have their choice reinforced.

[virtualobserver]

20. Bernie is getting plenty of votes...We've only had one primary.....

and Bernie won that by a blowout.

What the results really suggest is that Hillary underperforms relative to polls.

[jillan]

22. This!^Funny how that never gets mentioned. If Bernie loses today than he will have won one primary &

she will have won one primary.

[ladjf]

58. Dean was clearly in first place until he announced his intention

to regulate the propaganda by the media then the media created a distorted projection of his voice to make people think he was shouting unnecessarily. Within 1 wk he fell to the bottom. The media willfully created his demise.

[brooklynite]

59. Let's punch that up a bit...

Dean was clearly in first place until he announced his intention to regulate the propaganda by the media then Dean failed to turn out his rally crowds in Iowa and came in a mediocre third.

[SoLeftIAmRight]

21. Austin is not Texas.

I once sat next to Molly Ivins and Jim Hightower and listened to Michael Moore speak at an Austin event.

Not many places in Texas that this could happen.

[jillan]

23. True but Texas is not a winner take all state. Delegates are assigned proportionately. So even if

Hillary wins Texas, Bernie could still win enough delegates to keep his momentum going.

[virtualobserver]

24. I was there that day.....Granny D spoke as well

[SoLeftIAmRight]

25. Michelle Shocked – Anchorage

what was the name of that gathering?

I went to my car - and on the way back I saw Moore folding out of a little white car - he just rode from the airport or hotel with someone.

We walked back into the event together.

I was over my head with the access to the people there.

[virtualobserver]

29. Jim Hightower's Rolling Thunder Down-Home Democracy Tour

It was a great day.

[SoLeftIAmRight]

32. Many thanks - that is about when I found DU

It was a great day.

[lostnfound]

39. Houston has KPFT Pacifica radio

Which helps with progressive thinking

[SoLeftIAmRight]

42. I lived 3 blocks from kpft - on Audubon

ten years - great food - easy money - hot - no mountains

[lostnfound]

43. Lack of mountains was a definite deficiency

I was there for 17 years. Too hot, too much concrete. Enjoyed the Jung center, Japanese garden, Memorial Park, diverse food and KPFT.

[Zen Democrat]

52. In the winter, it may snow or it may be 80 degrees - spontaneous living required.

In summer, it's the most air-conditioned city in the world. Biggest problems: concrete and billboards. And as a person with fear of heights, flat Houston is good enough until I can drive west 3 hours to the Hill Country. Colorado is gorgeous, but I almost had a nervous breakdown. Flat is good.

[kgnu_fan]

26. voices on the street is different from what is shown on TV

[CentralMass]

27. They were obviously there to give up.

[cherokeeprogressive]

28. Zero class. Less grace.

[valerief]

30. Oh, yeah, the No We Can't memo, the one the M$M talks about all the time.

[virtualobserver]

33. Here is a better memo from Doris "Granny D" Haddock (1910-2010):

"The times are changing because they must. And they will sweep away the old politician --the self-serving, the self-absorbed, the corrupt. The time of that leader is rapidly fading. We have come through a brief time when we have allowed ourselves to be entertained by corrupt and hapless leaders because they offer so little else, and because, as citizens, we have been priced out of participation and can only try to get some enjoyment out of their follies. But the earth itself can no longer afford them. We owe this change to our children and our grandchildren and our great grandchildren. We need have no fear that a self-governing people can creatively and effectively address their needs as a nation and a world if the corrupt and greedy are out of their way, and ethical leadership is given the helm."

[brooklynite]

45. How many people showed up at rallies in South Carolina?

I think the data is supporting the assessment that mega-rallies don't translate into voters--didn't in 2004, aren't today.

[virtualobserver]

46. low turnout....some of them so low, they looked like Hillary Clinton rallies.

[brooklynite]

47. Yes, low turnout...where are those millions of new/disaffected voters we were told would show up?

[virtualobserver]

48. As we move from state to state, Bernie's support will grow

We have been focusing on 4 small states so far.

Since the networks have focused exclusively on the Trumpathon, Bernie has had to rise slowly based on word of mouth.

[brooklynite]

49. Good to know - what States should we expect them to show up in?

[virtualobserver]

50. time will tell....Bernie needs to take the lead in the national polls first

The movement continues to grow.

[brooklynite]

51. Remember those posts about Sanders taking the lead in the Reuters poll?

Nice while it lasted...

[virtualobserver]

54. Bernie was at 15%, and Hillary supporters said it was over, he had peaked.

Then Bernie was at 25%, and Hillary supporters said it was over, he had peaked.

Then Bernie was at 35%, and Hillary supporters said it was over, he had peaked.

Now, Bernie is at 42%, and Hillary supporters say it is over, he has peaked.

So, pardon me if I don't listen to wishful thinking from Team Hillary.

[bigtree]

53. you'd better hope that memo mentioned showing up at the polls

CBS News 2016 Battleground TrackerTexas

Which candidate are you most likely to vote for in the Texas Democratic Presidential primary in 2016?

Hillary Clinton ....61%
Bernie Sanders ....37%

[virtualobserver]

55. I'll be happy if Bernie closes that gap a little.
