Live updates from Bernie Sanders’ rally in Seattle

[Fawke Em]

I've said it before and I'll say it again: local newspapers do a far better job covering campaigns than the national media. Of course, I'm biased. I used to work for a few local newspapers.

Black Lives Matter signs are held up during the Bernie Sanders rally on Sunday. (Ken Lambert / The Seattle Times)




I like this sign:



Hillary = Same
Trump = Lame
Bernie's Got Game!

1. So sad I had to work

I went to hear him speak the last time he was here, and he didn't speak at all.

2. I really, really wish I could have been there today. I will be at my precinct on Saturday

voting for him though and that is what is most important.

3. And raise the damn roof if the "not enough ballots" line

gets trotted out again.

[liberal_at_heart]

4. Oh, you better believe it. I'm not leaving until I get to vote. I'll make sure to pack me

a sack lunch because I'm there until the end.

[Aerows]

5. I see people gleefully posting here

that Cruz is doing better than Trump.

I don't know about you, but it scares the daylights out of me that Cruz actually managed to get this far. That dude is DANGEROUS.

It is just frightening to me how little people seem to care and view this as a game.

[liberal_at_heart]

6. Yeah, all the Republican candidates are scary. Right now I am scared of both parties.

I know if Bernie doesn't win we are just in for more war spending and social service cuts. But I try to take the long view. It took us over 30 years to get to this point. It will take a few years if not more to reverse it. We just have to keep fighting no matter what.

[Aerows]

7. Thank you for injecting some optimism

into the conversation.

[Fawke Em]

8. What's even scarier is that Cruz beats Clinton by several points.

She and Trump are neck and neck.

Come on, Western US, we have to get Bernie the nomination!

12. More afraid of crus than trump - Repub machine turned trump into bigger monster than he is

That's my opinion - he's the real independent on the right just as B is on the left. Not comparing them except to say they are the only two who are not beholden to their masters. Take some of Trumps media crap with a grain of salt. We don't know the real Trump.

[Aerows]

14. I won't deny it - Cruz scares

the beejeesus out of me.

9. I printed a few extra

blank caucus registration forms to take along.

(If you enter an invalid address at the pre-registration site, it clears the form, and you can print it that way.)

[Aerows]

10. Thank you!

I am extremely upset at seeing this spectacle go unnoticed.

11. Caucus state - I can't go this year- medical.

That's the problem isn't it with caucuses? How are people like me represented? is there a way?

[ViseGrip]

13. My friend is there and he says there are 30,000 !!!

[Fawke Em]

16. I just read 45K on Twitter.

15. Beautiful
