NYPD is estimating Sanders crowd at 48,000 almost twice as big as Obama's in 2008

[GeorgiaPeanuts]

[TMontoya]

1. And yet

He will still lose by at least 10 points.

[GeorgiaPeanuts]

3. Don't you get bored spamming that

[TMontoya]

7. Never

Because its the truth. After Tuesday his campaign is over. Especially after PA MD and CT give Hillary double digit wins as well.

Whats funny is you guys love to tout these rallies like they are some kind of indication of anything. One only needs to look to Florida to see how that panned out. I am also willing to bet half of those in attendance aren't even registered Democrats.

[notadmblnd]

19. Right. After Tuesday

That would be after the first Tuesday in November when they announce he wins the GE.

Yeah, I'll accept that.

[Viva_La_Revolution]

47. sorry Varuca, but he will stay in till the convention, dogging her heels if need be.

[berniepdx420]

56. and if you a wrong... ??? see you at the Debate.. hillary doesn't do well at debates when there is

this much pressure... so exciting

[hollysmom]

76. you mean right before the long awaited coronation? He was so rude to mistake this for a democracy.

[brentspeak]

43. Boredom has nothing to do with it

HRC"s PR firms pays its interns 1-cent per post. It adds up.

[HooptieWagon]

85. I guess it pays the rent.

[RoccoR5955]

8. Dream on! n/t

[TMontoya]

14. lol

Check the polls. According to every single prediction Hillary takes Manhattan, the Bronx and Staten Island easily. Not to mention heavy support upstate.

[RoccoR5955]

17. That's funny

I just heard on my local NPR affiliate from the local news, that Clinton is losing upstate, and the three boroughs that you mentioned are the three smallest boroughs in NYC. Brooklyn and Queens are larger in population than Manhattan and Staten Island combined, if memory serves me correctly.
50,000 in Manhattan tonight ain't hay either.

[berniepdx420]

59. Check the polls... she has lost 20 points in less than a month... with a debate tomorrow...

are you nervous ? she could lose 5 more points in a week.. you should be.. I bet you are.. you won't admit it but your tone and texture says it all...

[greiner3]

90. Another 10 when the her and Bill's racist antics are brought up

I sure hope Bernie has better answers than the last times African American themes have been brought up

[thebeautifulstruggle]

25. Yes, it's a closed primary

That you had to switch party affiliation 8 months ago

He wins big with Independents

[islandmkl]

31. not sure if this is okay with the TOS...but to explain certain posts:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/1280173059

[berniepdx420]

52. Bernie has closed the gap by 20+ points in less than a month...

See you at the Debate tomorrow.. I bet the angry hillary shows up at some point and he shaves another 5 points off.... this is so exciting

[Logical]

70. You are such a whiner! Nt

[Segami]

2. Bam!!....Feelin The BERN New York!!

[HereSince1628]

4. OOOOMMMMMMMMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Else You Are Mad]

5. Nope, nothing to see here folks...

I wonder how many Hillary gets? It would be interesting to see a side by side comparison.

Also, that is rock star level attendance!!! Go Bernie!!!

[RoccoR5955]

11. It depends on how many have $10,000 to hear her

and eat rubber chicken.

[Politicalboi]

6. He's gonna win this

6 days to go.

[TMontoya]

10. Doubtful

Polls showing steady support for Clinton. Six days isn't enough time.

[RoccoR5955]

13. Don't believe it.

I have seen internals, and they are not good for Clinton.
This is going to be VERY close.

[TMontoya]

15. OH you have?

Show me these internals you saw? Because every indication tells me he is losing badly and thats why he is making his hail mary trip to some oscure Vatican conference.

[Else You Are Mad]

16. Maybe he should hang out with the .1%

And schmooze with millionaires to beg for money instead.

Bernie has the support of the vast amount of those likely to vote for a liberal in the general election.

[RoccoR5955]

18. I'll show you mine

when you show me your's. Don't give me the mainstream crap. They are all wrong! Show me an internal, and I'll show you mine.

[TMontoya]

20. SO you are a liar

Thanks for admitting it. lol "Mainstream crap" is mainstream because its credible. Check 538 every single poll has Clinton up by double digits with her trending upwards. Besides at this point no one who is locked on a candidate is changing their vote. And there aren't enough undecideds to make a difference.

[Viva_La_Revolution]

49. it's no longer credible. i remember what real news was like. this is entertainment.

538 now publishes opinion pieces.

[RoccoR5955]

65. ROTFLMAOPMP!!

Typical. Can't produce the goods, so attack the person!
I hope that the unicorns are pretty where you are!

[CentralCoaster]

55. Let's not show them the internals, I don't like their tone.

And better that they think they have this in the bag.

Don't forget to phonebank! I made a few dozen calls today in three short sessions.

Evenings are better-- voters seem more likely to be home, I got a lot of "he's at work" type answers.

[RoccoR5955]

66. Yeah, this place has become a waste of time these days

All the people who live in the Bizzaro world have invaded the real world, and are trying to tell us that WE are crazy.
I called about 60 people last night, all in NY, and all but one told me that (s)he was voting for Bernie.
I'll call more over the weekend (I'm very busy the next couple of days, see http://www.greengrandprix.com. I'll be driving the "Bernie Prius" up at Watkins Glen for my an attempt at a 4peat in my vehicle class)

[CentralCoaster]

67. Those are very good call results.

I try to keep track but the dialer redials so quickly I can just go by memory.

I get 1/2 where the person isn't home, or it's not the right number.

Among calls that reach the person I want, 1/2 like Bernie 1/4 undecided some hangups and one Clinton preference.

Generally, will try tomorrow.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

28. I think it will be close

how many delegates

[berniepdx420]

62. Steady... that is funny 20 point swing in a month.. 5 more is easy...

[Rebkeh]

9. New Yoooork!!

[frylock]

12. Woah dang!

[nc4bo]

21. FEELIN' THE BERN!! GO NY! GO BERNIE GO! nt

[Jefferson23]

22. Fantastic. n/t

[Half-Century Man]

23. 23.7 million in the NYC metro area, 48,000 show up in one place at the same time.

Slightly better than 1/500th of the population (1/493.75).
We could've done better, should have had free popcorn.


Can Ms. Clinton pull in 1/5000th of the population of NYC (with or without free popcorn)?
Her campaign claimed 5,500 at her NYC launch, but the press estimated the crowd at (a lot) less.

[xloadiex]

29. Can Ms. Clinton pull in 1/5000th of the population of NYC?

Only in absentee ballots.

[Half-Century Man]

32. A path exists.

An ethereal rally, sounds like a spell from D&D.

[RoccoR5955]

68. Clinton could only pull that many people

if she paid THEM 250,000 each.
(I figure while we are in the Bizzaro world of DU, what the heck)

[pantsonfire]

24. DAMN! watching it live now...n/t

[highprincipleswork]

26. Fantastic numbers, and a well-deserved turnout.

[Kittycat]

27. ABC Live feed is up to 17,141 now.

Several other live feeds going. No idea what they are up to now. Incredible

#feelthebern

[Barack_America]

30. Absolutely inspiring.

Can't wait for the debate tomorrow.

[Bonobo]

33. They're all "Bernie Bros"!!

They shipped them in!

[islandmkl]

37. i saw the busses!! and there were Vermonters outside the park selling guns...

and giving away free stuff...

[CoffeeCat]

41. I actually heard that

Bernie wasn't invited to his rally. That he invited himself. And no one really wants him there. They're just being nice. And that Bernie will only speak for ten minutes. That's what David Brock told me. He told me to say that on DU.

Then he told me to use the rofl smilie, but I don't know what that is. Can someone help?

[islandmkl]

45. 'I was for Bernie...he was the best candidate in my life....BUT..."

[Karma13612]

51. Too funny!!! +10 eom

[kiva]

83. I heard that he couldn't get there on a commercial airline

and that he'd have to charter a flight, but then he'd have to use campaign money and lose hours away from campaigning...and who's rolf?

[senz]

87. lol!

That's them! I'd know 'em anywhere!

[TM99]

78. Hey!?

Could I have gotten free Chunky Monkey with that gun? Damn, I missed it!

[GeorgiaPeanuts]

34. YUUUUUUUGE!!!!!

The streets are packed like sardines all around the park.

[Jennylynn]

44. I can NOT get over the size of these rallies!

Holy Mother in Heaven.

[questionseverything]

84. bernie so mean he packs em like sardines!!!!!!

we have proof in your pictures!!

[CoffeeCat]

35. He started at 4%

And look at us now!!!

Gathering strength, from state to state! We've got momentum from winning the last eight states.

So awesome to see this massive crowd in NYC!!

[GeorgiaPeanuts]

36. On CNN they were covering Clinton's rally with a couple hundred people...

And the lady said literally, "Clinton could have a big rally like Sanders if she wanted to."

[SocialLibFiscalCon]

38. Hilarious

I wonder how many people she has had total at all of her rallies! I'm guessing way less than Bernie had tonight!

[CoffeeCat]

39. Where did Clinton have her rally???

Wow. A few hundred people? She probably harms more than 300 people working for her in her Brroklyn office.

[GeorgiaPeanuts]

40. In the Bronx somewhere.

[CoffeeCat]

42. Which phone booth? (Nt)

[libdem4life]

46. A little clever snark for the evening crowd...LOL n/t

[Snotcicles]

48. I hope someone is capturing and cataloging medias ridiculous bullshit, for posterity's sake. nt

[MisterP]

71. it's the "small audience strategy"

[berniepdx420]

63. yippy .... woot woot

[Goblinmonger]

50. she doesn't want big crowds

Makes no sense to me but lots of people here say that so it must be true.

[Fawke Em]

53. 27,000 in the park, with another 20,000 or so not allowed in.

Horrible pic, but some prospective.



There are some very distinct gaps - not sure why. Possibly some crowd control barriers, but I think if something WASN'T there, then the crowd would move up from the back.

[GeorgiaPeanuts]

54. The gap is where the media is at nt

[moondust]

57. MSNBClinton says 27,000.

That's the only number I've heard them mention.

[GeorgiaPeanuts]

58. That is just in the park, see my YUUUGE comment to see what all the streets were like as well.

[MrMickeysMom]

77. Apparently it hurts their little hearts to say more than that...

... ask Rachel, who used to research, but now does what she's told to get DEE MOW NAY!

Nice stooging, eh?

[morningfog]

60. Nice. Soke hilly DUers were saying it was a mistake to

go where Obama went because the crowd would look small by comparison. Another hillbot failed prediction.

[beam me up scottie]

61. No wonder they're trying to deflect.

[restorefreedom]

94. exactly,,this explains the smear machine being in overdrive. nt

[workinclasszero]

64. Bernie Sanders Huge Rallies in Texas

Winner called by A.P.

http://www.nytimes.com/elections/results/texas

[RoccoR5955]

69. Texass is NOT New York! n/t

[workinclasszero]

72. I bet at least half of the people at Bernie's NY rally

are not even registered democrats and cannot vote in the primary!

[GeorgiaPeanuts]

73. Rosario Dawson told every independent there to find 5 people who can vote

And drag them to the polls to vote in their place.

[workinclasszero]

75. Great campaign strategy for Bernie

I'm sure it will work.

[bkkyosemite]

86. OMG the state of Texas is the most red state around..and you use that as an illustration

[RoccoR5955]

89. Keep dreaming

We shall see come Tuesday night.

[BillZBubb]

79. How many electoral votes is Her Majesty going to get from Texas?

You don't have to be a zero anymore, feel the Bern.

[berniepdx420]

80. oh your name...a play on the John Lennon song "Working Class Hero" ... funny thing is Bernie is

now and has been for 30 years a true life Working Class Hero... Hillary.. the opposite.. power.. money .. greed.. what ever it takes to hold on to power...

[ozone_man]

74. That's amazing!

I wish I was there! Go Bernie!

[Purveyor]

81. Holy crap...this is a 'big f'n deal'. Hot damn!!!

[Merryland]

82. to me that was the most incredible speech I've ever heard.

He is freaking awesome.

[MadDAsHell]

88. Yeah but isn't the NYPD racist? nt

[JackRiddler]

91. I was there and it was so.

[DebbieCDC]

92. HRC supporters say revised figures

Show only 11,500 showed up. their rationale? The NYPD lies about everything.

I have absolutely NO DOUBT that there are cops within the NYPD who lie, who cover up illegal behavior by their colleagues, who are racists and who murder with impunity. But I find it a YUUUGE reach that they would take 11,500 and lie to make it 48,000.

[kenn3d]

93. Park capacity(27k)was exceeded

Park capacity(27k)was exceeded,over-flow filled adj streets curb2curb 4 blocks.
…
…

The 48k was estimated by NYPD... accuracy isn't important. Who ya gonna believe HRC supporters?... or your lying eyes?
