Bernie Sanders super fans line up hours ahead of Ann Arbor rally

[BigBearJohn]

ANN ARBOR, MI — Michigan supporters of Bernie Sanders are driving in from cities near and far, including Bay City, South Lyon, Trenton, Tecumseh, White Lake, and Mount Pleasant, to see the Democratic presidential candidate speak in Ann Arbor Monday night.

By early Monday afternoon, dozens of Sanders super fans already were lined up outside the Crisler Center, where a vendor was selling "Feel the Bern" T-shirts.

The earliest arrivers started showing up between 9 a.m. and 10 a.m., several hours before the doors even open at 4 p.m.

Most of them are in their teens and '20s, including some high school and college students.

As they camped out in sunny warm weather, with temperatures in the high 50s, some ordered pizzas, some blasted music through a portable speaker, and some brought their own snacks and drinks to get through the day.

1. Wow-- that's dedication!

[Optimism]

2. This just warms the cockles of my AARP heart !

Seriously, for all of these young 'uns to be so dedicated and passionate about an old guy like Bernie ?! Damn, that's something really special. Particularly because it's based on the ISSUES.

Whether Bernie eventually wins or loses ... I think the future of this country definitely wins due to this infectious passion and involvement. Good on ya Millennials! You have a lifetime pass to ... COME STAND ON MY LAWN!

(As long as you follow through and vote, vote, VOTE!)

I'm not sure that I want to do that anymore though. Maybe if Bernie picked up a guitar.
