From Sarah Riley of the Appleton Post Crescent:
"The line to see @BernieSanders in Appleton is about seven blocks long."
"I have never seen anything like this. And I have been around for several presidential campaigns, friends."

And in a classy move, Sanders also addressed the crowd outside the venue who weren't able to get inside. They stayed and listened to Sanders on outdoor loudspeakers.

1. He has started something that a young version of him needs to pick up and run with

when Bernie slows down.

Everybody here, once the hate fest ends, can be looking to find and support the new Bernie (s).

3. Let's make sure the old Bernie goes all the way, though!

[Jackie Wilson Said]

5. I am all for that, either way we need dedicated youngsters willing to

live the life he has lived.

To go into politics and not enrich themselves but work tirelessly for the people.

19. My teenage son was there and Bernie inspired him to act

And how many more thousands of youth have had the course of their lives altered for the better by Bernie and his movement? This is a good thing.

20. At least one of my local candidates for City Council is a Sanders Democrat

4. you mean, after he completes his second term.

15. I wish he would add that to his stump speech

Would like to see him encourage progressive young people to run for school board or city council.
Then for State House and State Senate positions.
That's how we eventually take the country back from the crazies that run most states.

[Jackie Wilson Said]

16. Yeah, agree. This is your job though, mine. We need to be doing the legwork

We can shame each other into doing more, getting off our asses

17. Bernie may be inspiring that person even now!

[madokie]

10. I kinda feel that our good Presidents are family

In Bernies case I already feel that way about him. I love the man and what he's tried to do for those of us who are underprivileged for his whole lifetime. He is a Very Good Man

[beam me up scottie]

11. He always addresses the folks who can't get in, even in the nastiest weather. He's a mensch!

Go Bernie!

21. Madison, rural, blue collar roots...

will Hillary be crushed in Wisconsin like WA, AK, and HI? Or will it be a bit tighter?

[litlbilly]

22. Im looking for another blowout, it's an open primary so indies can vote

[SMC22307]

23. That was my next question.

I thought it was an open primary, but couldn't remember. I was so fired up from Saturday's massive wins that I thought the dang thing was today! Er, Tuesday. Today's Wednesday. LOL I better get to bed!
