Awesome and way to go Arizona!

From a Facebook friend on the scene in Arizona waiting for Bernie's rally to start:
"I'm shocked and ecstatic at the sheer number of millennials in this crowd. 10,000+ expected for this rally (biggest of the Presidential race yet). READY FOR BERNIE! — in Phoenix, Arizona."

And there were no chairs.... all these people are standing.
Diverse in race, age, and gender... but united in enthusiasm.

The online chat alongside the youtube video was paging up so fast you could not read it.

Quite a remarkable event indeed.

They opened the doors at 5:30. By 5:45 all the seats were taken and it was SRO Got one of the very last seats for my wife and started wandering. Herds of people kept arriving, not slowing down till about 7:30. From where I was standing Bernie looked like a speck. In fact, they had two big projection screens in the middle of the hall and I could still hardly see him on those. It was wild, my wife is horse from yelling but the best part was LOTS of young people!

Fuck Trump! We smoked him!
