National Nurses United to march for Bernie Sanders outside Tuesday's debate

National Nurses United, the largest nurses union in the country, will march and rally for Bernie Sanders outside of Tuesday's Democratic debate in Las Vegas.

Promising a "colorful" rally, the nurses and union organizers will march from the nearby Treasure Island Hotel to the debate site at the Wynn Las Vegas. The event is supposed to be a show of force for Sanders, a candidate the union endorsed in August.

Organizers said they expect "a couple hundred" people to attend the rally.

When National Nurses United endorsed Sanders -- over former secretary of state Hillary Clinton -- in August, they became the first national union to back the independent Vermont senator.

there are carpools from all over California driving to Las Vegas. I'm hoping between the Prune Pickers (that's a nickname for us Californians), the Nurses and the Unions, they'll make up several thousand so the MSM can't ignore them.
