Bernie Sanders spoke to a crowd of over 20,000 people in Massachusetts Saturday night. It was the largest rally in the state in recent history, according to the Boston Globe, topping the crowd of 10,000 that came out eight years ago for Barack Obama.

The Boston Convention and Exhibition Center was packed to capacity, and a few thousand more people that couldn’t get in stayed outside to watch Sander’s speech on a screen.

Sanders began his speech with his well-known opposition to big money donors, saying he doesn’t want money from corporate America.

“I don’t have a Super PAC. I don’t want a Super PAC, and I don’t need a Super PAC,” Sanders said.

Sanders recently recorded raising $26 million, just $2 million less than Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton in the same campaign finance period.

The senator told the crowd that 99% of the donations he has received were $100 or less....

Ted Cruz could easily draw 20,000 in Tulsa or Biloxi and John Ellis Bush could round-up that many in Tijuana or Buenos Aires. So what?

You ask “So what?”

Satan’s Prom Queen can’t draw flies in an outhouse is what. Because of the Super Delegates She will probably be the nominee but she is really unpopular.

Like Ralph Nader or Jerry Brown he’ll switch from a limo or nice big SUV to a dusty old Prius three blocks from the event.

Sanders is dangerous. The thing is, this rich vs poor crapola sells to the low-information voters. They are not making the correlation to Obama's failed policies, and the Republicans aren't refuting his garbage.

That's why Sanders, and a lesser extent, Elizabeth Warren is popular. Look, Biden is virtually a declared candidate and he's going to select Warren as VP, and Sanders will play some role if Biden is elected. The Left is more concerned about holding power than about the needs of Hillary Clinton.

It’s Massachsettstan. I’m surprised so few showed up. It would have been funny to see how deserted some of the Western Mass towns were that evening.

Someone needs to make sure all of those feminists attending learn of Bernie’s disgusting column from the 1970s (I think) in which he made horrible comments about women fantasizing about being raped.
