A cop working the event told me "Everyone here has been so nice! It's such a big change from that Trump rally we worked recently; those people weren't very nice at all!" Ha! No kidding!

Once Bernie had left the stage, without prompting, probably half the people (myself included) there started cleaning up the field, putting bottles in recycle bins, etc. I doubt that Osceola Heritage Park has ever had tidier event!

Hillary supporters own the Florida Dem structure. You may be right. madfloridian Mar 2016 #46

any 'Dem structure' there is responsible for folks showing up on election day bigtree Mar 2016 #47

It's far more than organization. madfloridian Mar 2016 #50

Yep. The Tampa-St.Pete-Clearwater Metro area has over 4 million people. 9000 is not a lot for stevenleser Mar 2016 #49

Nice to see you here damping down the enthusiasm, Steven. madfloridian Mar 2016 #51

Sorry, I can't control how many out of a 4 million person metro area showed up. stevenleser Mar 2016 #52

Good grief, Steven. Your assertion of my assertion is ridiculously off. madfloridian Mar 2016 #53

What I said obviously flew way over your head. And I don't mean that in a nasty way. nt stevenleser Mar 2016 #57

Of course you do, Steven. madfloridian Mar 2016 #60
