that is a stunning gain for Bernie!

It was about 5500 verses 5000 at Burlington.

What did you say, NYC has a population of about 8 million and Burlington has about 14 thousand. It doesn't matter that the crowd in Burlington represents about 1/3 of the town and in NYC it was about .7% of the population. That doesn't matter one bit!

Uh huh!

Reports mentioned people in the crowd from many different states - we know of at least 2 who were already committed to HRC who drove in from the capitol. And still, the overflow area was largely empty. If we had the stats on how many were locals? Pretty weak turnout!

school film, before crowds were computer generated.

but that is misleading. The event at Roosevelt Island was limited by the fire Marshall to 5500. It has been reported multiple times but people seem to be ignoring it.

As a "Bernie fan", I expect you to recognize and acknowledge this. Do you?

Maybe we should start monitoring the parking lots for the buses with out-of-state plates

That he is still too far behind to matter. You can't win with that much of a deficit, and wait until the results from after the rally at Roosevelt Island.

I just had to post this, to beat those who deny that Bernie has any kind of Bernmentum!

Feel the Bern.
Republicans, FEAR the Bern!

found the real deal! And there are still millions to go who have not yet heard of him. Give him another three months, and who knows where we will be?

and Hillary will be screaming for more debates, her last gasp.

tenfold increase every five months!

Might they actually have to mention his name as a serious contender?

now right behind her, in that rearview mirror.

At least they've moved from ignoring to mischaracterizing which is progress for THEM I suppose.

....other web sites, such as Huffpo, are saying many of the things we read hear---they do not trust or like Hillary and are excited about Bernie.

Hillary-supporters and Dems in general ignore her negatives at their peril. And ours. They need to take the dissent seriously. It's not just DU. But even when it happens on DU--they need to not just dismiss it in a huff. We are loyal Democrats who are very engaged. There's a reason we are upset about Hillary---the powers that be need to pay attention to that reason.

We Dems need to not run a candidate who is going to suppress the Democratic vote.

I see nothing exciting or trustable about Hillary and will work to find a real alternative to the horrors of a Repug.

We'll be more pleased when we overtake HRC.

WOOT!!!!

Well...

If it came down to just Clinton vs Sanders, some of the O'Malley votes would presumably go to Sanders (as another "not Hillary" option), while some would probably go to Clinton (who may be more similar to O'Malley than Sanders is). So you can't really "assign" people's fallbacks without that being something they were asked about.

Still, at this point, even just 32% is darn impressive for a candidacy that came from nothing and many people weren't taking seriously!

I was just having some fun with the numbers.

Go Bernie!!!!!

for Bernie as more and more people come to understand that he has spent his career supporting policies that are good for all Americans...

Democratic Primary voters. Many independents will come out and vote for Bernie!

your Wall Street's hand-picked candidate The Party would get a clue that MAYBE their hand-picked candidate isn't so poplar.

for NH.

This is june and he is now only down 12 to hillary.

Bernie isn't such a joke anymore is he?

of course MSM will ignore this.they claimed best case for bernie was 20 to 25%.he's at 32% here.

could we be seeing 2007/2008 all over again only this time have a candiate we can trust.

say in a few months when he's way ahead of her?

And a are very excited about his run.

Independents are not going to vote for the establishment candidate, many are former Dems already disgusted with the status quo. So Bernie is likely to get that huge vote, bigger than either party now. Even some of the Republican/Independents who are also disgusted with their party.

So winning primaries will give the crowd who says, "I would love to vote for Bernie, but he can't win" permission to vote for him. That's why the bumper sticker saying, Vote for Bernie You Know You Wanna, is prescient. The posts all over the internet show that DU is actually rather reflective of the tenor of voters. Quite shockingly.

Big Mo

on all counts. Hillary has NO cross-over appeal. None. Her numbers can only go down at this point while Bernie's will continue to climb.

The lady next door is 80 and a staunch republican but she likes Bernie. Is this a good sign?

A lot. They don't agree with his principles, but they like his honesty. If they don't watch Fox News which will be a campaign arm for Jeb, they might just vote for an honest person.

Looks like he wasn't kidding around.

I was told, right here on DU, that Bernie had already topped out in NH. This doesnt surprise me at all. But then again, I live here! NH LOVES Bernie!!
