Michael Moore:Standing ovation, cheering Bernie, Bernie

Minutes after the debate is over, majority of crowd still cheering "Bernie! Bernie!" Never seen this at end of debate. Clearly Bernie won.

A standing O for Bernie's great closing statement. Don't we want to strive for that vision than just give up and say we can only get crumbs?

The Michigan Miracle gets extended tonight.

It immediately followed Bernie's remarks.

And as Bernie realized that they were screaming and standing in honor of him, he smiled. He smiled big.

Hillary smiled politely and looked down at the top of her podium. Her face was looking downward. As more and more people stood, Hillary looked down more and more, and Bernie smiled more and more broadly.

That's the way I remember it.

And I believe you are 100% correct. There was some cheering for Hillary, but much more for Bernie, and the chanting was definitely, "Bernie!"

….cheer at the end of her closing and she smiled joyfully and gratefully. It sounded at this point like a big pro-Clinton crowd.

But then——the crowd broke into a standing ovation for Bernie. And it went on and on. For this she cackled almost non-stop. Now she's seeing up close what is going on in the the area outside of Hillary World.
