A scheduled Q&A quickly turned into a political rally as 7,000-8,000+ show up for Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders’ event in Portland, Maine.
Here is a shot of the crowd:
Mario Moretto of the Bangor Daily News reported that the crowd was estimated to be 7,000 with more people coming in....

In these times though, you have to be careful what you wish for.
I wanted her to get beat in 2008 too, and look what we got.
(Like the old LBJ joke.)
Hillary! is in trouble because she can never outdo the next iteration of destructive demagogue that arises. She is, at heart, just an opportunistic, selfish, self-centered, amoral poser. But the current trend in cultural destruction is now at a similar stage as prior iterations, such as seen throughout most of the interesting parts of history, where people like her are left behind. The blood-thirsty masses, that yearn for a second storming of Atlanta, amongst other things, will not give her more than a passing glance, before air-brushing her to oblivion.
She cannot compete. There is a part of her that is too pragmatic, and too rooted in conventional politics, to recognize that the game has passed her by.
Dammit!!
Again, I wish I had a mobile, Che T-Shirt / Guy Fox mask concession stand.
And Bernie Sanders schedule...
Sanders may meet an untimely end if the Hildebeast begins to feel her coronation is in jeopardy...
Anybody but her. Go Bernie.
I think she’s less sure of herself than Obama is, and would have been more hesitating and less likely to do things unilaterally than Obama has been. Obama is so full of himself, he just plows ahead.
I also think her personality is such that she would have alienated people faster than Obama did, and made it harder for her to get healthcare done. Obama had a huge amount of political capital when he came in, that she wouldn’t have had.
Executive amnesty is an example where I think she would have hesitated, although the laws haven’t been enforced for years anyway, so maybe it wouldn’t matter.
Disappointing there are so many useful idiots who turn out to see & hear a wrinkled up, old Commie such as Sanders.
Excellent point!
Like the moderates in the French revolution, and the Menshiviks in the Russian revolution.
I’ll be glad to see her gone, but I’m sure the Dems can come up with someone worse. Not that that makes much difference in the fix we’re in.

I read you on that. I wanted her beat so bad in ‘08, well, you don’t wanna to know...... And, look what I got out of it— eight with a skate Obama.
Dims believe Bernie will be giving away WAY more stuff than Hillary if elected.
I know, but it gives you an idea of how much they dread the thought of Hillary. I know, I know. I’m just sayin’.
If we don’t go stoopide and nominate Jeb or Christie, if the donks nominate Bernie it will be 1964 in reverse. President Walker, President Cruz, etc.
One thing she’s got going against her, in contrast to Obama in ‘08, is that she’s a known quantity. People have already made up their minds about her, one way or the other. No pie-in-the-sky “hope and change” will work for her.
She can’t fool as many people as Obama did.
Are you freakin’ kidding me? That crowd is awesome! I hope his recent surges in crowd size, and poll numbers, cause that evil witch, Hillary, to be so stressed out she becomes a basket case with the fear of losing the nomination again to a virtual unknown. If she develops that fear, she will do rash and crazy things that will derail her campaign.
Lol. Lots of empty seats. Any Ohio State basketball game has NO empty seats. Football? Over 100,000 in the stands and a quarter million outside.
So this is a “massive” crowd like an ant is a “massive” animal.
That said, why is the LSM pimping Sanders now? Maybe they know something about Hillary that makes her totally unelectable?
“They say” that if the state election results falls as it did in 2008, Hillary and our nominee in the end, will fight it out over just four toss up states. Wish I could say which states, but you may remember.
I know! Isn’t that a killer crowd! For an old socialist poop too! Amazing, I’d say.
