Bernie Sanders Draws Crowd of 10,000 in Wisconsin (while Hillary is now paying people to show up)
NBC News ^ | July 2, 2015 | Alex Seitz-Wald

"In case you haven't noticed, there are a lot of people here," Bernie Sanders said a bit awed as he took the stage in front of nearly 10,000 in a coliseum here.

Sanders has been attracting outsize crowds wherever he takes his unlikely presidential campaign. Five thousand came out for his kickoff rally in his hometown of Burlington, Vermont. Another 5,000 turned out in Denver, Colorado. In Minneapolis, a thousand listened from outside after the basketball arena where Sanders was speaking filled to capacity.

But Madison was different.

Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton attracted 5,500 people, according to her campaign, to her kickoff rally in New York City, and 1,800 in Virginia last week but has otherwise not focused on large rallies. While Republican Sen. Ted Cruz had 11,000 for his launch at Liberty University, attendance was mandatory for the school's 13,000-strong student body, so it's unclear how many came of their own volition.

The lack of enthusiasm for World's Smartest Woman is no reason for the Rats to worry ... cause she has not focused on large rallies!

And they said Reagan was slipping during his second term. Anyone who has seen dementia from the very early stages can recognize the “doll eyes” in this woman’s head.

She will stroke out before the convention.

If only I could get paid to show up at one of her rallies. I’d wear my white t-shirt with the red handprint smear!

Hillary is in the race for one reason.....to raise money.

The excess funds will go to the real candidates...P. O'Malley & VP, Warner.

She really looks like cr** and sounds like cr**. She's like a broken record.

10,000 for Sanders in Madison is like comparing the size of the event to a Castro political rally in Havana...

Same people, some ideology...

Let's see how many show up for Sanders rally in Texas...I'm sure the protesters would outnumber the attendees

So many in Madison have been waiting a long time for their time to come.

Doll’s eyes (oculocephalic reflex) – Passive movement of the head to the right and left. The normal intact brainstem response is for the eyes to remain fixated on a spot in space and for the eyes to move within the socket. If the eyes remain “painted on” and don’t move with movement of the head, this indicates an absent brainstem response.

“But Madison was different”
This a real understatement. Madison is home to some of the looniest left wing Marxists in the US.

But not to raise money for other candidates. It's so she and Bill can become Billionaires.

They probably are already.
Don’t forget the Loral Space kickback from the Red Chinese.

I'm sure they have so much stashed away. Really...they don't spend it.

She's certainly not a clothes hound and still wears pop-it beads.

She's really kind of a slob...just like Michelle before she had 26 maids a waitin'.

The good news: Hillary’s got a problem.

The bad news: The market for Socialism in this country is much larger than any of us thought.

Millenials (or at least large numbers of the age cohort) believe they were hosed by capitalism. They’re Uncle Bernie’s biggest supporters for that reason.

Statements like this one makes sanders seem less than what he truly is, a commie, and people are to stupid to look up his record or find out any facts on him.

One of my husband's cousins keeps posting these idiot messages that filtrate to my FB page and I have to keep reminding that sanders is a registered socialist or commie.

Now the man is a conservative, but those sound bytes resonate with many.

This is starting to look really interesting. My dream race would be Bernie vs Cruz. There could be no sharper contrast.

Thanks Zakeet. This may not be his peak, but I'd be surprised if it were not. Looks scary from the Hill-larry point of view.
