"No one ever told ME it was going to be easy!
... I am in no ways tarred"

Bernie Sanders was in Madison Wisconsin on Wednesday and only a few hundred people showed up to hear him speak in support of Democratic Presidential Candidate, Hillary Clinton. Roll back the clock to March before endorsing Hillary Clinton, Sanders attracted over 10,000 listeners in the same city.
After noticing the low attendance I began to realize that there were almost no signs, stickers, hats or shirts for Hillary. In fact there was a sea of people wearing Bernie Sanders gear, making me curious on if they’re here to support Hillary or just to see Bernie.
In the video below I started to adventure and search for Hillary shirts and finally I located a group of 5 females decked out in Hillary gear. Out of 4-500 people (being generous) in attendance it seemed there was little-to-no promotion for Hillary anywhere.
I asked a few dozen people, “what was Hillary’s greatest accomplishment as Secretary of state?” Most decided to decline the question once they found out it was about Hillary and not Bernie.
Almost nobody for Hillary at about 4:58 during an interview one person held up a sign that says “Bring back Bernie,” to punctuate my point. At one point during Bernie’s speech someone yelled out, “vote third party.”

Good news I hope!
Madison is hardcore communist. They do not call it Madistan for nothing.
They were very pissed the open socialist got the nomination stolen by the so-called “closet” socialist.
This is a sign that things are going badly for Hillary. It now depends on the Debate Sunday. If Trump wins big time—its all over, Last time Hillary won on points only.
Bernie sold out - he could’ve been a legend. He and his supporters know that Crooked Hillary is trash.
Sanders is a phony and hypocrite. I guess his followers finally figured it out.
Bernie is either being rewarded or threatened. Maybe both.
But, but, but FOX Snooze says she has it in the bag and everyone loves her as much as they do???
Pray America wakes
Yeah, but all of Bernie sycophants are saying they HAVE to vote hiLIARy to keep the racist misogynistic evil Trump out of the White House. Just had this discussion on FB.
The irony of all this is Jill Stein is getting 1000+ at her rallies. I was gonna post link of the size of her rally today, but meh I’m sure you all get the point.
Hillary is toast!!
We’re still in this race, but let’s not give ourselves false hope from crowd size. Hillary couldn’t draw flies to chyt, but she still defeated Bernie who did. We need to work our asses off and consider ourselves as running behind through election day.
Not to be a total Eeyore but that underscores the point - Stein can draw 1000 but will get about 2% if she’s lucky on election day. Crowd size just isn’t a good metric or Bernie would have been the rats’ nominee.
There are no superdelegates in the general election.
Fair point but she also got almost 4 million more votes than him.
I think I read he got a new house and a plane to fly him to these fall speaking events......not a good trade for selling his soul and selling out all his followers.
If you believe the Democratic Party.
Bernie totally got screwed by the DNC/Media/Hillary collusion at least to some degree. I don’t think anyone can really argue with that.
With that said, you may very well be right in the end, but I think a good percentage of the far left is incredibly upset about what happened. There are tons of them that want Hillary to lose, because they see running someone new against Trump in 2020 as a golden opportunity, whereas they’d be stuck with her for eight years if she won. They’re also pushing to get her to 5% nationally, so she can get funding in the future or something related to that.
While I don’t think she’s going to get a huge percentage of the vote nationally, it still helps us in the end. It may be higher than 2% in certain states and that could help put Trump over the top with those battles.
“Madison is hardcore communist. They do not call it Madistan for nothing.”
I watched a 2 minute blurb on local news. They had his visit hyped up, but I never saw a complete scan of the crowd.
Probably didn’t want all the Berner supporters getting TV time.
Honestly that was the first time in many months I’ve turned the local news on due to it bias. The newspapers are far worse.
