2. They're taking a long time checking people before letting them in

Local news just showed the huge lines still outside and reporter was wondering how long it will take to get everyone inside.

She did say they will still let people in after the official 7pm start time.

There are usually multiple entrances open, but there are only two open.

3. Are there enough people to overcome the delegate deficit?

5. Classy. Thanks for adding so much to the thread.

6. It's a fair question...

...Sanders supporters have been pointing out for months that Sander's crowds are massively bigger than Clinton's (when they're not slipping in a suggestion that she only meets with people at fundraisers. Sanders' inability to translate those crowds into actual votes is a valid issue to comment on.

8. Nothing new. People enthused about progressive change always run into this kind of thing.

And the people dismissing it, usually the "winning" side, I don't think they really know what they are rooting for. They're just caught up in the idea of winning something.

4. Will be exciting to see if they can fill it!

They've had great crowds in WA.

And terrific birds, too!

10. That bird video made me cry for the first time over a presidential campaign since 2004.

11. Many people are reporting that feeling.

I was there. The crowd exploded. It's surprising that birdie stayed by Bernie as long as it did. What a moment. What a moment.

7. It took the campaign three hours to give us the data for San Diego

so you might get that until later tonight
