IN DISAPPOINTING numbers, but with chips the size of hassocks on their shoulders, the first Philadelphia assembly of the Bernie Sanders Brigade gathered on the plaza in front of the Municipal Services Building Sunday at 1:30 p.m., under blistering Sunday heat.

Their common bond, according to the platform speakers and people I interviewed, was love for Bernie and loathing for Hillary Clinton, the presumed Democratic nominee for president - even if some of them can't bring themselves to concede that.
That's because one of the speakers, whose name I couldn't hear, said while Bernie had endorsed Hillary, he had not "conceded." Among the dead-enders, such as my daughter, there is a belief Bernie will somehow steal the nomination back by getting superdelegates to switch from Hillary to Bernie.
Woven into their tapestry of principle and sincerity is fantasy. The only conceivable tactic that might stampede the superedelegates - who are the party's elite - would be overwhelming numbers. The dead-enders were expecting up to 1 million Berners to flood the city streets.
Speaking at the rally, Kevin Useni from Chicago, organizer of the 1 Million for Bernie organization, told the crowd in front of the MSB - no more than 3,000 - that 750,000 people had arrived already and another 250,000 were expected Monday.
Whaaa?
I asked him where they were, because they weren't here.
He told me the number was a police estimate.
Chief Inspector Joe Sullivan told me what I already knew - Philly cops don't do crowd estimates. Useni's number was fantasy.

3000 in 100 degree heat is still 10 times the largest protests in Cleveland.
The media are in full blowin fit status right now :)
They will soon be asking obama to call for martial law and stay in power another 4 years. That’s actually already happening.
Bye Bye dems.
Yeah, but 1500 of them only came for the cheesesteaks.
And don’t forget......and I despise Sanders....but the DNC are doing the exact, same thing the RNC did to the Tea Party. Would love to see those emails as well.
It’s Philadelphia, not a great place for Hillary to play Santa Claus.
The DNC ticks off the local PD by inviting a bunch of BLMers to speak, the PD allows a bunch of protestors to form around the entry checkpoint at the venue. Coincidence?

did the diners order in the English language ????
Yeah. “Gimme one dem steak sammiches.” ‘Wi’t Whiz?’ “Maaaan, don’ Be pissin’ on my grub.” You gotta be from Philly to understand all that.
