1. Almost as many as Ralph Nader's biggest rally.

Same people, too

[Uncle Joe]

2. That's incorrect, Bernie's rallies are larger than Ralph's were.

The Target Center sports arena in Minneapolis was filled by more than 12000 people last Friday night, paying $7 each to hear the Green Party presidential candidate Ralph Nader denounce the major party candidates and call for social justice.

The Minnesota stop was the second of four major rallies for Nader. The first, in Portland, Ore., was nearly as large as Friday’s event, selling out with 10,000 tickets at $7 apiece. The next major Nader Rally is going to be at the Fleet Center in Boston on October 1.

The last time Nader visited Minnesota, he held a smaller rally at the University of Minnesota that drew a packed house of 1,400 and raised about $17,000.

Bernie Sanders Brings Out Record-Breaking Crowd in Boston

Boston seems to be feeling the Bern harder than any city the Vermont senator has visited to date — while 16,000 RSVP’d to tonight’s rally on Facebook, the 26,000 capacity Boston Convention Center was completely packed for tonight’s Bernie Sanders rally, and the overflow space outside of the convention center filled up quickly.

Also they're not the same people, many people weren't old enough to vote and many Gore supporters such as myself, and others here which now support Bernie.

Furthermore Nader's poll numbers just cracking 10% in Alaska and single digits elsewhere never approached Bernie's rankings.

Also Nader was never in the major debates.

Ironically up until recently Ralph received more corporate media conglomerate coverage compared to Bernie despite having much lower poll numbers.

I'm convinced the corporate media did this because they knew his run would do much more damage to Gore and the Democratic Party than Bush and the Republicans, they never feared running as a third party candidate, that Nader could win.

5. Your wrong...I've been around for many years and I don't remember crowds like this...

...and consistantly bigger than Obama's, and I said consistantly.

[Uncle Joe]

6. President Obama did have larger rallies, he got an astonishing 75,000 at one but no one in this

campaign has approached Bernie's numbers except Trump.

[Uncle Joe]

8. Correction Obama's 75,000 rally came toward the end of the race when he had all but won it.

But Obama did get 35,000 at one point earlier in the race.

Having said that Bernie's numbers are still impressive.

This was from October 12th.

Bernie Sanders Exceeds Obama's Historic 2008 Run in Crowds, Donors and Polling

In three key areas, Sanders is actually exceeding the insurgent campaign Barack Obama ran in 2007 and 2008.

Record-Breaking Crowds

Over the summer, it became clear that Sanders was drawing some of the largest crowds in Democratic primary history, with tens of thousands pouring out into cities to see the senator.

Up until this point in 2007, the largest rally Obama had held was in New York City, our nation's most populated location, which brought out 24,000 people. Sanders has exceeded that in numerous locations that are actually much smaller in population: Boston, Portland and Los Angeles. Earlier this month, Sanders set a record for the largest Democratic primary rally in Boston's recorded history.

9. I dare you to watch the whole thing

[in_cog_ni_to]

7. Impressive! He's the only 2016 presidential candidate to pull these massive crowds to his rallies!

HRH doesn't and can't because there's zero enthusiasm around her campaign.

I'm glad Bernie has added Welfare mooch, WALMART (where Hillary served as a board member) to his stump speech. It makes the perfect point about corrupt corporations paying slave wages to their employees so they still need subsidized housing, food stamps and welfare just to be able to survive - which is all paid by our tax dollars - while Walmart takes in BILLIONS of profits every year. That hits home. If we're not bailing out Wall St. thieves, we're subsidizing WALMART and the Walton family, the wealthiest family in this country.

Great rally and ANOTHER huge crowd, 6 days away from the Iowa caucuses! He definitely has all the momentum going into Iowa and is the only candidate able to attract such huge crowds.

Thanks for posting the video!

PEACE
LOVE
BERNIE

11. That's good!

Anyone who is filling up basketball arenas is drawing a large crowd. I thought basketball arenas generally hold somewhere between 12 to 18,000 people. I only go to them for geezer rock concerts, since I don't like sports.
You have to be a pretty big name to book, let alone fill, a basketball arena.
