Bernie Sanders Rallies in Four States to Spur Voter Turnout

[Uncle Joe]

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio — Bernie Sanders, campaigning at a feverish pace on Monday, made last-minute pitches to supporters on the eve of crucial primaries, holding five rallies in four states as he seized on his anti-trade message to rally people to turn out to vote on Tuesday.

The Vermont senator began his day with an 11 a.m. rally in Youngstown, Ohio. He also planned events in Akron, Ohio, Charlotte, N.C., and St. Charles, Mo., before ending the day of nonstop campaigning with an evening rally in Chicago.

“‘Our disastrous trade policies, NAFTA, CAFTA, permanent normal trade relations with China have cost this country millions of decent paying jobs,” Mr. Sanders said as the crowd booed. “In Ohio alone from 1994 to 2015, this state lost 300,000 manufacturing jobs, 31 percent of its factory jobs.”

Mr. Sanders went on to argue that Mrs. Clinton had sided with businesses over everyday people.

“When it came down to whether to stand with corporate America, the people who wrote these agreements, or whether to stand with the working people of this country, I proudly stood with the workers,” Mr. Sanders said. “Secretary Clinton stood with the big money interests.”

The senator went on to repeat his demand for Mrs. Clinton to release the transcripts of her speeches to Wall Street.

“If you get paid $225,000 for a speech, it must be an extraordinary speech,” Mr. Sanders said. “It must be mind blowing. It must be Shakespearean. It must reveal a lot, sources of knowledge. And I think if the speech is that great, it should be released to the American people.”

7. As I posted on UglyGreed's thread, Bernie's athletic history

of long distance running probably helped strengthen his mental, emotional and physical fortitude.

6. Bernie is certainly an inspiration to us oldsters!

I'm four years younger than him and I know I couldn't keep up that pace. He seems to thrive on it, and, no wonder, not only are tens of thousands of people meeting him and cheering him everywhere he goes, and not only does he have that beautiful underdog momentum that inspires us in stories and movies, but he is, finally, at long last, getting to convey his Paul Revere message about our near loss of our democracy to millions and millions of Americans. It must be electric to be around him right now. He mostly seems to be glowing with satisfaction and excitement.
