Feel the empty seats: Bernie Sanders sees “disappointing” turnout for Wisconsin rally
http://www.dailynewsbin.com/news/feel-the-empty-seats-bernie-sanders-holds-wisconsin-rally-in-75-empWhat a difference a camera angle makes. The photos being posted on social media of tonight’s Bernie Sanders rally in Madison, Wisconsin by his own supporters appear to show an entirely full Kohl Center arena, whose capacity is more than seventeen thousand. But the photo posted by a reporter for the local ABC News affiliate reveals that the vast majority of the venue was in fact empty. The local police have also confirmed the low turnout number.
WKOW Madison reporter Greg Neumann, who was reporting from the event, tweeted that many in attendance were “saying they’re disappointed by the turnout” for the event. He posted a photo revealing that while attendees had been stuffed into one specific segment of the arena, the majority of the building was vacant. The Madison Police Department subsequently tweeted that turnout for the event was just 4,400 people, meaning the building was 75% empty.
It’s not clear why the turnout for the Sanders event ended up being so small. Madison has a population of nearly a quarter million people, and the campaign appeared to expect a much larger crowd when it spent the significant sum of money required to book the Kohl Center for the evening; otherwise it could have relied on a smaller and less expensive venue. But whatever the reason, it suggests that the people of Wisconsin may not be “Feeling the Bern” in the way that some west coast cities have. State polls show that Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton are neck and neck in Wisconsin just two days before voting
Still Neck and Neck maybe it will turn for Hillary......

Sen. Sanders has taken the podium at the Kohl Center. Crowd count is 4,400.
on the Kohl Center--holds 17,000--but it is expensive to rent. It is right on the UW-Madison campus.

Crowd not overwhelming for Sanders rally at Kohl Center. Senator himself told me he expects 4,000 here tonight.
The message is old. Really old, actually--he has been saying the same speech, save the inserted Hillary smears for decades. He even talked of needing a political revolution. The only difference between then and now is he has switched out the old reference to "millionaires" with "billionaires" because, you know, a million bucks ain't as much as it used to be.
He is boring and predictable, and desperate. 
because he and Jane are millionaires !
I wonder how he will cover that up. He does little, from what I have been able to tell, for others, too. No charitable foundation...nothing.
Could have stacked up many more-

A rarity on the campaign trail. A Bernie Sanders event with empty seats. A town hall on racial issues in Milwaukee.

and I couldn't find them.. but, here they are!
On racial issues.. it figures unfortunately.
Thank you, Rose~ How 1984,, "A future to believe in" .. uh huh
I think mitt thought he was destined to be president too.. and that just didn't happen.. He has to know he's NOT going to be.. Is BS going to eat his words when he has to end his campaign?
the ****** still had it wrong, didn't he.
How creepy.. freaking personalized shit. And they just eat it up.
I saw a Tweet recently from Michael Cohen that sums that up..
Michael Cohen ??@speechboy71
For Sanders to be attacking Clinton personally when he has almost no chance of winning will be a sad bookmark to his campaign

No wonder he thinks he's the next best thing.
a President, too .
much trouble to alter medical and birth records in HI in 1961 when "everyone" knows that he was born in Kenya! 
go out on a Monday night in 28 degree weather to hear the same old tired speech or sit at home all nice and warm and watch my Tarheels get beat. Damn that is a really had decision.
