2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumMy husband just sent me this text from tonight's Bernie rally in Des Moines, Iowa
From Mr. CoffeeCat to Mrs. CoffeeCat: "Well, we showed up an hour ahead of time, but there are too many people who showed. They are not letting additional people in. Definitely an enthusiasm gap here."

(2,546 posts)He feels that from what he is seeing... the young people are going to show up ala Ron Paul type support and dedication. Let us hope that this is indeed the case. We want a HillBill Shutdown!

(9,214 posts)Does everyone remember what happened the last time they were in the White House? They ended up being penniless when they left. So what if it was only for one day, it must have still been humiliating. I cried for a week... it may have been from laughter, I can't remember. I think we should save them from repeating that a second time.

Bummer!

(22,000 posts)But it is nice to know there was a big crowd. That is encouraging.
I will be racing home after my private (teaching) lesson gig on Wednesday morning (here in Korea) to watch the caucuses just as I did in 2008.

(41,600 posts)Down the first 4 channels because of him airing clips he supposedly wasn't allowed to air. Basically silencing Bernie information.
He built a system that he has patented where he can bring in speakers/guests, overlay audio/video and create a pretty nice "news" show using You Tube.
He does it all himself, free of charge - FOR BERNIE!
He's on everyday at 12:00pm ET....live!

(41,600 posts)Reddit, Facebook, Twitter, etc..
The corrupt corporate owned MSM refuses to cover anything he does, so John developed Bernie TV to bring us all if his rallies/speeches and Bernie news!
Sometimes the streaming feed works really well, sometimes not...depending on the infrastructure of where they are. There's other volunteers out in the field with the streaming equipment they stream back to Bernie TV! The guy who was out tonight in Des Moines, just got out if the hospital, jumped on a bus and went to Des Moines to set up the streaming equipment!
All this for our Bernie ! The man is beloved. He really is.
He's a good man supported by good people!
PEACE
LOVE

I'm great with word processing, but the internet? Not so good.
Thanks.

But it's a nice problem to have politically.
This Sanders guy seems to be pretty popular.

(23,156 posts)of those people will caucus tomorrow, according to all the experts. Yeah, right.
All I know is that I'm on pins and needles waiting for tomorrow night. I cannot believe that so many thousands show up for Bernie and he won't do extremely well tomorrow and next week and all the way to the convention.

(24,853 posts)I suggest and weather is the least of my fears. It wouldn't stop me and I know it wouldn't stop her if we had to go caucus tomorrow night. We live at 7,000 feet in So. Cal. and it's snowing like mad right now... she's planning on picking "The Girls" up for lunch tomorrow.

(21,046 posts)MSNBC has Rachel and Tweety on it.
My problem with the coverage is that all those candidates make me want to barf when i see them, except for Bernie and Martin!!
Bernie --->
Martin --->
Every other candidate--->
And I say this as a third generation yellow dog Dem. My grandmother loved Roosevelt, and my dad was a Socialist union organizer who, in his conservative old age, relatively speaking, became a Kennedy Democrat.

(1,268 posts)But from the pics at rally's the past few days and weeks in Iowa, that could be the case.
And I thought predicting the weather was difficult.
