2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumWonderful news! Unless you happen to be Scott Walker.
Bernie utterly captivates Wisconsin and stomps on Walker while he is doing it. Frigging awesome. I can't wait to see what kind of weak kick off event Walker has coming up.
I think the estimates were above 9,500 people.

they used Chicago rw radio to connect to people who were bused in people from Illinois to attempt a counter-rally during the protests against Act-10. They got to watch Sarah Palin on a big screen tv.
Walker has SuperPac money to pay to make that happen. But just as then, I suspect he'll max out with a crowd of a handful of thousands.
