Sanders stayed silent, smiling and gesturing jokingly at the bird. As he lifted his hand to speak, the bird flitted off and Sanders waved as it flew away. Taking advantage of the obvious symbolism, Bernie told the crowd what he thought.

“I think…I think there may be some symbolism here. I know it doesn’t look like it, but that bird is actually a dove asking us for world peace. No more war!”

...ANY candidate would kill for that moment.

The bohemian atmosphere of his rallies, coupled with his ethereal response, made it a thing of beauty and legend.
