The demand to see Bernie Sanders is so high that his campaign was forced to move two rallies in South Carolina to larger locations.

In a statement, the Sanders campaign announced that two upcoming rallies in South Carolina had to be moved to larger venues after crowd projections outgrew the original locations.

The Sanders campaign announced, “With turnout projections mounting, U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders’ campaign has shifted the location of Sunday’s rally in Charleston, South Carolina, to the Charleston Convention Center. The two-day swing includes stops in Greenville, Columbia and Sumter.”

Bernie Sanders has found fantastic success in red states. Sanders has drawn big crowds in Texas and Louisana, and he drew a then 2016 record crowd when 11,000 showed up to support him at a rally in Arizona.

There is a valuable lesson about the generalities of political polarization in what Sen. Sanders is accomplishing. The Sanders message that the government must work for ordinary Americans and that the billionaires and special interests must be defeated in order to return power back to the people is a natural fit for many residents of red states.

2. Haven't you heard the new meme? Since Bernie's crowds are not temporary flash in the pan stuff,

as hoped for, then, of course, his staff has been deliberately booking smaller venues. Because, of course, they could see the future back when the bookings were made. Pathetic meme, really.

5. OMG

Someone actually said that?

[djean111]

6. yup.

Said that it is either deliberately done, or else his campaign staff is incompetent. I would say we have reached the bottom of the barrel, but evidently there is no limit to invented bullshit.

3. This Democrat Latina in Red state Arizona

Appreciates him coming to rally here.

A few years ago, many democratic friends of mine from Cali moved to South Carolina. It was the place to go a few years back.

4. His campaign is doing an amazing job of getting his message to the people. And though more

people do know who he is right now, there are still millions of Americans who will be learning about him over the next few months. Even with only half the country knowing who he is, he is rising in the polls consistently.
