7. SO many Triangle area high school students there--it's really sweet

Daughters keep running into friends from all over.

WRAL and other local coverage is only talking about Hillary's visit to a high school yesterday and Trump's "press conference."

[djean111]

14. The Tampa Trib (endorsed Hillary) was so dismissive of Bernie's 9000+ crowd yesterday

that it was actually a parody of slanted political "reporting". Hillary had 600+ people.

It was a great reminder of why I cancelled my subscription years ago, and only see their site if it comes up in a Google search.

[zazen]

26. that is so enraging! n/t

[marions ghost]

8. Please post again

10. were you going? n/t

[marions ghost]

11. I wanted to

but didn't hear about it soon enough to organize to go. But I might as well have gone the way I'm getting nothing else done...

You?

I hope the turnout is Yuuuuuuge!

[zazen]

12. Nah--had home-based things to do, but I'm coordinating with several attendees!

I drove my daughters to the G'boro rally in September too.

I'm not surprised it's YUUUGE. The weather is glorious. They ought to have it in the Red Hat amphitheatre. It's a stadium sized crowd.

[marions ghost]

13. Keep us posted

any tidbits

If he comes again for the general, I will be there!

17. Here's Zazen's family pics from the event!

[zazen]

18. thanks! n/t

[marions ghost]

19. This is Yuuuuuuge

to your family for Showing Up!

[zazen]

21. my 15-year-old wanted me to take her at 6:30 AM!!

This generation is highly motivated. Even if the DNC politburo suppresses Sanders' nomination, our movement is growing. It's really exciting.

[marions ghost]

25. Ha ha --out there for quite awhile!

Yes, it's growing. In light of the abuses that have taken place in NC politics alone--it is HIGH TIME!

But this is happening around the country. The younger generation gets it, and their parents need to dust themselves off and get out there too (and I will).

Bernie is one sharp elder. Totally worthy of this admiration and support.

I am so happy to see this.

[Fawke Em]

23. If you get a video, pass it along.

I can upload that for you, too.



Nice to meet a "neighbor."

BTW, my son's father (my ex) lives in Raleigh. I looked for him in that crowd. He's an Arab Muslim Bernie fan.

[HooptieWagon]

20. I don't know where he gets the energy.

The campaign trail must be grueling...thank goodness Bernie seems to really enjoy it. Three big rallies in Florida yesterday, totaling about 20K. Nearly 10K in Tampa alone. Huge long line. Feel the Bern!

[zazen]

22. seriously--I'm half his age and I don't have the energy. It's incredible. n/t

[leftcoastmountains]

24. Thanks for the info!

Go Bernie Go!!!

[Fawke Em]

27. And.... here's Zazen's family's time lapse supporter line video!

Very cool:

[zazen]

28. and that was just at 8 AM, too. . . thanks!! n/t

[Fawke Em]

29. I bet it's twice that now!

As I said in my email to you, when my daughter and I went to Greenville, SC to see Bernie three weeks ago, I stopped at a truck stop in the sticks just before you go over the mountain and the clerks loved my Bernie shirt and buttons.

They said, "Where was Bernie speaking? I hate I missed him!"

I love how everyone just calls him "Bernie." No formal titles for him.

[zazen]

30. family at rally just texted me that thousands are being turned away

They all have seats.

Still, it's such a small venue. Dammit. We could have filled a stadium.

[zazen]

31. live stream at ABC News 11 WTVD

http://abc11.com/23390/

[zazen]

32. Bernie's apparently speaking to crowd OUTSIDE because they couldn't get in

They're still introducing him inside the main venue, but he stopped to talk to the thousands outside. Wonderful!!

[zazen]

33. Tulsi Gabbard is speaking and shoring up his Commander in Chief qualifications

This is AWESOME!

Tulsi is calling out Hillary on Libya, Iraq, Syria, etc.

34. I wish I could have gone! SO jealous.

I'm not physically able to stand in line for hours, especially since it's really hot today (yay, spring!). I don't sweat, so I have to be very careful about overheating, even on cool days, even in winter. I got sick the other day at the grocery store, it was so stuffy and hot inside. Heat prostration/heat stroke does not equal fun.

Ah, well. Time to charge up the AC, I guess.

On the brighter side, my middle son and I had a good talk about Bernie versus Hillary this morning. He can't understand why anyone would vote for her. I said I can't either, if people would be honest about it. I've mentioned before that he likes Rand Paul, so this is great progress for the family.
