[PatrynXX]

ahem down the mountain

[mac2766]

13. What?

No blue ribbon or trophy?

[PatrynXX]

21. probably not

thats how it goes

[mac2766]

30. Sorry. My remark was aimed at you directly.

I honestly do believe that Bernie Sanders will win the Democratic nomination, and that he will win in the next general election... MEANING... Bernie will be our next president.

I was trying to be delicate in my post. I wanted to speak to the cultural phenomenon of parents who just can't fathom the idea that their children (actually themselves) could lose at... well... anything.

I absolutely believe that Hillary Clinton, while being a very decent person... a fine individual, and someone who has devoted the greater part of her life to public service, will lose the nomination in 2016 to Bernie Sanders.

Hillary Clinton absolutely deserves our respect, but her positions just don't represent the problems that we - the American middle, and lower classes are facing.

She is going to lose. I understand that this concept is just not acceptable to some. That was where my blue ribbon and/or trophy comment was aimed at.

Sorry.

2. That's a lot of people.

[OffWithTheirHeads]

4. The establishment is not gonna eye this coming!

[SoapBox]

5. Holy moly! And to think he's a shiny-object!

Awesome!

[Nyan]

11. Oh yeah all these people are just distracted by shiny object

kind of like a cat, according to Obama.
Even after all the disappointment and a sense of betrayal that I felt for the man, I didn't expect that kind of derisive words from him.

[mac2766]

14. Please

Fill us in on what you're trying to say.

[Nyan]

17. I'm surprised you didn't get my point (it was quite clear),

but sure, why not. I'll fill you in.
I'm talking about Obama implying that people are drawn to Hillary's opponent just because we're attracted to new shiny object.
In fact, this is what he said.

"Hillary has been in the public eye for a long time and in a culture in which new is always better. And, you know, you're always looking at the bright, shiny object that people don't, haven't seen before."

I don't support Bernie simply because Hillary has been around for a long time, and Bernie's new. I've known him for a long time. And I support him because he speaks to issues that are important to me. And I don't appreciate being condescended to, by anyone. That was my point.

[mac2766]

31. No. Not clear at all, as a matter of fact.

Your response to me was though. Thanks

Go Bernie!!!!

[Spitfire of ATJ]

6. The last Vegas rally I went to seems intimate by comparison.

[retrowire]

10. That's amazing to pull that off this close to the Iowa caucuses.

Excellent show of force to prove he still has the momentum he did in the beginning.

[tomm2thumbs]

12. All lives do NOT matter !!!!!

beautiful young woman introducing...

"All lives do NOT matter.... until Black lives matter..."

She also notes: "my first vote as an American citizen will go to Bernie Sanders..." roughly 3:00 into the clip -- don't know how consistent the rest of the clip is, drop-outs, etc, but posting for now

[mac2766]

15. Inevitable.

Go Bernie!!!

[WillyT]

[MrMickeysMom]

20. Hey!

They don't look like nasty awful people to ME!

[Frustratedlady]

22. What was the temperature/wind chill up there?

It was windy in Iowa, about that time, and I darned near froze just running from the store to the car. Sure wouldn't want to stand in that kind of weather, but what a crowd that dared to do so. Love the portion of the video with the people going up the escalator.

[tomm2thumbs]

23. everyone looked bundled up - must've been colder than...

... well, fill in the blank

[Left Coast2020]

[Enthusiast]

26. Kicked and recommended a whole bunch!

[Harriety]

27. I wast there

If his supporters keep up this momentum, no one can stop Bernie from being our next President. He's simply amazing, and so are all of his supporters.
