http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/2016/mar/22/bernie-sanders-rally-san-diego/Bernie Sanders brought his campaign for the White House to San Diego Tuesday, electrifying more than 10,000 supporters who had stood for hours in a line a mile long to hear him speak. The late-night rally at the bayfront San Diego Convention Center had a rock-concert atmosphere typical of many of Sanders events and the crowd exploded when the Vermont senator took the stage more than three hours after the doors opened.
Sanders paused well into his speech to address the tragedy in Europe.
I think I speak for everyone in expressing our condolences for the people of Brussels, he told the now-hushed audience. Sanders said the United States will help crush and destroy ISIS. He said the U.S. will stand with allies and defeat the terrorist group. He add that the coalition must be led by the Muslim nations themselves with our support and the support of other powerful nations.
The fight, he said, is for control of the soul of Islam We can win that war and destroy Isis without getting the brave men and women of the U.S. armed forces into a perpetual war in the Middle East, he said.

(24,010 posts)The Trib is an old establishment rag. They obviously didn't hang around long enough to find out that the 10,000 person area filled up fast and overflow areas had to be opened.
MRC tv did hang around. They obviously observed it. But they do have an error in their article. It says: "Sanders currently trails rival Hillary Clinton by more than 700 delegates." Not true. It's only 300. (And Sanders chipped away at it tonight, with a 15 delegate gain from Idaho (Sanders won by 78% of the vote!), Utah (Sanders won by 80% of the vote!!) and even from the one he lost, AZ, for a net gain of delegates!)
Makes you just want to scream at the DISINFORMATION of the national Corrupt Media, in this case including super delegates in their totals. Then that crap gets repeated over and over.
It is simply thrilling to see these stupendous crowds assemble to "Feel the Bern." Thank you for posting these articles about it! Greatly appreciated!
