I live in ET's largest city and we're a slight blue - we have the state's first Latina mayor, a Democrat, so we've come a long way from our Republican roots, but, yes, planting these seeds in the South is imperative.
I like how Bernie talks with, and not "to," Southern voters.
On edit: Nashville just elected their first female mayor, too, another liberal Democrat. Knoxville, my city, congratulates them on electing liberal women. We love ours.

The size of the crowd is mind-boggling.

Some loved him, some hated him, but most thought it was very statesman of him to come and share.
What I found most amazing is that they listened, they thanked him (on Twitter, no less, because that's how young people communicate) even if they didn't agree and THANKED him AGAIN for agreeing to disagree.
The truth is that most of the crowd felt they had to be there even though it wasn't "required," like Cruz was (apparently, his speech was curriculum, but Bernie's was not).
We could ALL learn from this event.\
And to think, I was told I was full of shit by seabeyond for thinking this event might amount to anything. 
*wink.
Good job at tweeting and listening to them as well.
Bernie is just willing to hear it all, to speak to everyone and to stay close to his moral compass.
He really is kind of fearless, and he doesn't seem to have the need to be liked. He just knows what he feels is right and he is willing to keep the doors open for anyone who wants to come on board.
