Bernie Sanders rallied thousands of supporters in Washington state three weeks ahead of its presidential primary, calling for the grassroots movement that led to his win in the state’s 2016 caucuses to continue through the broader primary that takes place March 10.

“We may not have billions of dollars to throw around, but we have hundreds of thousands of people in every state in this country knocking on doors,” he said. “And that’s why we’re going to win here in Washington and why we’re going to win all over this country.”

The best candidate is always the one who attracts the biggest mob.

RE: Bernie Sanders draws thousands to rally in Tacoma [,WA]

Estimated how many thousands?

Trump’s rally in enemy territory — Wildwood, NJ was overflowed as the 7,500 venue was jam packed and overflow space was needed.

Mayor Pete Byron later estimated that in total there were about 15,000 at the rally, New Jersey 101.5 reported. That would mean there were about as many in the overflow crowd as there were inside the venue.

Is Bernie similarly getting the same size crowds?

The idea of a Communist that offers tons of free stuff is very appealing.

He was late to the rally. Stuck in the legendary Seattle/Tacoma traffic.

Tacoma should change its name to St. Petersburg.

But the crowd looks half asleep. All they are doing is raising the signs they were given and waving them around with little enthusiasm. Weird.

He drew around 17,000 that is a Trump number this guy is a Marxist and he is dangerous. If nothing else his presence will hurt us on the down ballot.

The only reason he had that many people there is because of the free concert. Probably free heroin and pot too...

Worry not. It’s easy to get a bunch of kids to show up at this sort of thing. He’s poison to adults. You’ve heard of Reagan Democrats? There are Trump Democrats being created by the day.

"Was there a free concert involved?"

That was my first thought also. So I checked it out and the answer is yes. A popular west coast band named "Portugal. The Man" opened for Bernie.

A jew, a socialist, Hillary and a gay guy run for the Democrat nomination on a campaign plane that is too heavy to fly and they are about to crash. They each have to throw something off the plane to save them from losing to Trump... LOL... The Democrats don’t stand a chance... They should all just jump.
