Sen. Sanders in Mass with a sign-waving crowd of 3,600 people.

(snip)
“I just wanted to see the person that I’m voting for,” Dan Sheehan, 20, of Pembroke, said nearly two hours before Sanders stood at a wooden podium near the middle of the room. “He’s the most, best honest candidate out there. He doesn’t have anything to hide.”

“I look around this crowd here tonight, and I think we’re going to win here in Massachusetts!” Sanders told the sign-waving crowd of 3,600 people. “Your state led the American Revolution. Now it’s time for your state to lead the political revolution!”

(snip)
“We did very poorly in South Carolina, no ifs, buts, or maybes,” he said. “But we won the vote among people 29 years of age or younger, that’s black and white. What we have to do is get our message out, and the message is real reform of the criminal justice system and to create an economy that pays attention to the needs of working people in a way we’re not doing now.”

That message is exactly why Belinda McIlvaine, 40, of Milton, said she’s “feeling the Bern.” McIlvaine, who is black, said she knows numerous people of color who Sanders’ supporters as well.
