[KingFlorez]

13. Overestimating is a bad idea

Shameless vanity backfired here.

[rachacha]

14. Did you see the lines still outside when he started speaking?

Couldn't get everyone through security in time.

[renate]

29. welcome to DU!

[LuvLoogie]

15. Today was Good Friday for Christians. Many may have been averse to attending a political rally today

It is a somber Holiday. Bernie may have been the only candidate having an event today. He was going for the money shot I guess.

[Impedimentus]

16. Your "money shot" quote lacks dignity - not to mention playing he religious card.

Let's hope such nasty expressions don't represent the attitudes and temperament of your candidate.

FEEL THE BERN - 2016

[LuvLoogie]

17. He's a Democrat for the publicity. He's all about the crowd scenes.

It's Good Friday. He got his crowd, not 50k, but he got his photo op and live coverage. The Holiday is probably why he didn't get more people. Do you have a better explanation?

[nc4bo]

18. He's brought the enthusiasm. Ya know, like what Ms. HRC lacks by wiiiide margins?! nt

[LuvLoogie]

19. except for at the polls.

[nc4bo]

20. Except for the GE. nt

[LuvLoogie]

[LuvLoogie]

24. And yet she has more delegates, more actual people voting for her, more blue state wins

than Bernie.

[nc4bo]

26. Yes, it was. I hope you have a lovely Easter.

I'm looking forward to having some chocolate.

[LuvLoogie]

28. Same to you...

I would love to roast a leg of lamb on the grill. I did that one year. Oh man. But going to the In Laws this year.

I think that was the year that my brother, who was never Baptised, on the night of the Easter Vigil received as an adult 3 Catholic Sacraments: Baptism, First Communion, and Confirmation. Grilled at my Mom's the next day.

[grossproffit]

23. I don't care for big crowds.

I like more intimate settings.

[Eric J in MN]

30. That's true, but this was one of multiple big events in WA this week.

There was also only two days notice.

If Bernie Sanders had only done one rally in WA this month, and he promoted it over a month in advance, then he probably would have filled the baseball stadium.

When famous musicians fill baseball stadiums, the tickets go on sale over a month in advance.

[NorthCarolina]

32. Wow, if that had been a Hillary Rally it would have

netted $40.8 million for her coffers...but it wasn't

It was a #BirdieSanders rally.

[Hiraeth]

33. welcome to ignore.

[dinkytron]

35. 15,124 if you count the little bird.
