Bernie Sanders CLEVELAND RALLY Fired Up! Thousands, Nina Turner, Local Leaders, FULL SPEECH, 11/16

Thousands turned out to hear Bernie Sanders tonight at Cleveland State University's Wolstein Center, capacity 13,000. The 7 PM event expected 10,000 to attend and leave their emails for the campaign according to local station WKYC 3.

Local leaders came and spoke including well known Nina Turner, former Ohio state senator who introduced the 2016 democratic presidential candidate.
Sanders struck a deep chord with the huge, energized audience in covering jobs, unemployment, family leave, the economy, education, prison reform, racism, Wall Street Big Banks, voter suppression/corruption and more.

The senator's impassioned, Barn Berner Speech had the excited crowd applauding and standing throughout the event.

Bill Maher too I think. Very glad to see her working with the campaign and endorsing Bernie.

What a terrific crowd and event in Cleveland, and the great state of Ohio!

CLEVELAND, Ohio – An ear-splittingly-loud crowd that eggs on the Democratic presidential hopeful's barbed attacks on capitalism. Boos when he brings up the rich, cheers when he flays them.

Pandemonium when he stands up for women's rights, gay rights and legal marijuana.

And the signs. They were worthy of a ballgame.

A soothing evening of politics, this was not.

Make all the jokes and generalizations you want about Cleveland being a deep-blue stronghold for lefties. This was the first time in years that such an unapologetically liberal held such a rapt audience here. And he did it for nearly an hour and a half.

Sanders economic populism and his denunciations of Wall Street bankers make him an antidote to Clinton, a consummate establishment insider.

Without question, Sanders has added a spark to what was predicted to be a ho-hum race.

This brief, powerful segment should be posted in VIDEO on the Home Page. If you can't do it I can, and would title it 'The Heart of Bernie Sanders Political Message, Cleveland Rally 11/16. (12 mins.). Whatever you decide, and thanks again.
