And if it's Oakland, you can be damn sure that crowd's diverse. n/t. Ken Burch Jun 2016 #2

Not in the video. That crowd is a lot more than 35% white -- Oakland's percent. pnwmom Jun 2016 #6

You know what percentage of that crowd is white? merrily Jun 2016 #26

I didn't get the percentages from HRC's big rally yesterday. jalan48 Jun 2016 #34

She's been winning without big rallies. GOTV is what matters, pnwmom Jun 2016 #36

HRC and Trump zentrum Jun 2016 #42

If they want to toss the election to Trump, then it's on them. nt pnwmom Jun 2016 #44

As I said, this kind zentrum Jun 2016 #50

Sorry, but I'm sick of older, experienced Dems pnwmom Jun 2016 #53

Poor Hillary, such a delicate flower... BeanMusical Jun 2016 #58

The issue isn't how tough she is. The issue is how misinformed the haters are, pnwmom Jun 2016 #61

"the haters" BeanMusical Jun 2016 #66

Please explain how misinformed haters are? Rockyj Jun 2016 #153

For example, there are haters here who have brought up Whitewater pnwmom Jun 2016 #154

Wow. Just wow. zentrum Jun 2016 #62

No, not any critique. Just too many of the ones I read here. n/t pnwmom Jun 2016 #63

Admit it, you never read a Clinton critique you felt was justified.Ears and eyes shut. bjobotts Jun 2016 #110

You mean like on the latest episode of Hillary's lying regarding her e-mails? imagine2015 Jun 2016 #114

I think the email "scandal" is almost as trivial as the Christmas card scandal. pnwmom Jun 2016 #122

Hillary wishes to God that this was a Christmas Card scandal! Zen Democrat Jun 2016 #131

Sorry. HeartoftheMidwest Jun 2016 #85

Not to mention zentrum Jun 2016 #91

How about because she supports fracking and opposes Glass-Steagall. NOT Rethug talking points. Zen Democrat Jun 2016 #130

Ditto. nt SusanCalvin Jun 2016 #138

NO!!! A thousand times "NO!" Herman4747 Jun 2016 #74

No. People have been lying about her all along, including pnwmom Jun 2016 #75

Aw Come on. Really, you can do better. Herman4747 Jun 2016 #78

But she sure was awesome while in Bosnia... BeanMusical Jun 2016 #82

The video is a splice and dice job of the Rethugs, but leave it to pnwmom Jun 2016 #124

A "splice and dice job"???? Herman4747 Jun 2016 #126

Cognitive dissonance won't allow them to acknowledge reality AgingAmerican Jun 2016 #144

You have confused Bernie with Trump. How'd you do that? Zen Democrat Jun 2016 #132

The Lewinsky thing is not a lie. That really did happen. Bill was impeached because of that. Dont call me Shirley Jun 2016 #148

If they want to toss the election to Trump, then it's on them. AlbertCat Jun 2016 #107

A lot of the 2016 primaries and caucuses have been nothing short of, um, magical. merrily Jun 2016 #27

That's a very dumb excuse. Hrc won Brooklyn by huge numbers La Lioness Priyanka Jun 2016 #46

"It would make no sense to intentionally purge democrats in a district that hrc has a huge advantag" BeanMusical Jun 2016 #69

Or maybe people who think this was intentional are stupid La Lioness Priyanka Jun 2016 #77

Well I happen to like and respect you so I'll stop right here. BeanMusical Jun 2016 #80

Good god, why?!! lostnfound Jun 2016 #147

Bean is WAY more forgiving than needed for your remark... MrMickeysMom Jun 2016 #140

That is not what you said. Just sayin'. nt ChisolmTrailDem Jun 2016 #155

Intelligent people don't believe in stupid conspiracies. La Lioness Priyanka Jun 2016 #156

That seems to be your theory... MrMickeysMom Jun 2016 #159

We had crooked activity like this going on in NY. CentralMass Jun 2016 #56

It is very gratifying to see -- pacalo Jun 2016 #5

Sorry folks, that's Ogawa Plaza, in front of City Hall. You couldn't get 3000 people in that plaza demosincebirth Jun 2016 #8

There are probably a few people out of frame. Gene Debs Jun 2016 #11

Sorry, 3000 max! demosincebirth Jun 2016 #12

Maybe the place is bigger than you remember? pugetres Jun 2016 #14

I worked on 14th & Franklin -- two blocks from Ogawa Plaza. Cut it demosincebirth Jun 2016 #20

I'll forward your message pugetres Jun 2016 #21

F**k ABC. You guys will believe anything if it enhances Sanders. demosincebirth Jun 2016 #24

Why is it, seemingly, so critically vital for you to insist that the crowd was no bigger than 3000? Gene Debs Jun 2016 #43

Keep on whining. liberalnarb Jun 2016 #45

"I worked on 14th & Franklin -- two blocks from Ogawa Plaza." BeanMusical Jun 2016 #65

*snort* dorkzilla Jun 2016 #97

I would guess that the police know the area pretty well and they estimated the crowd bjo59 Jun 2016 #32

Much like NY, where people were wall to wall for blocks surrounding the spot where Bernie was. merrily Jun 2016 #28

Ogawa plaza is 160,000 square feet passiveporcupine Jun 2016 #13

This article on crowd estimates says 2.5 sq ft is "mosh pit density" pnwmom Jun 2016 #17

Check out the pics of NY merrily Jun 2016 #30

News sources all said between 20 and 30. I've seen it reported over and over that the Oakland bjo59 Jun 2016 #33

Thanks bjo59 passiveporcupine Jun 2016 #112

The other sources I've seen say about ***20,000***. pnwmom Jun 2016 #16

oakland police reported 60k but abc and nbc reported hopemountain Jun 2016 #18

That would be "mosh pit density" -- about 2.66 sq ft per person. pnwmom Jun 2016 #23

Y'all are funny about Bernie's crowds. Police estimates were just fine when it was Obama. merrily Jun 2016 #31
