It's not even the 20th yet, and Bernie's Denver visit is maxed out....

and may need to move to a different venue - over 5,000 out of expected 2,600 (capacity of the current venue) have signed up wanting to see Bernie.

May have to use the arena instead of the gym.

which reported 5,000 attendees a couple of pundits mentioned that is the maximum no. allowed by security, and even the adjacent overflow areas looked sparse b/c there's a max for them as well. I don't know if this is accurate about particular public events but someone here will have info.

when people discover that Bernie has been fighting years for things they believe in, they want to see him and hear him...

Many are sick of DYNASTY. It's DEMOCRACY (what's left of it here) AT WORK!

but didn't sign up because family is arriving and our timetable isn't a sure thing. If he does this well in Denver, I think he'll be back.

Bernie just needs more exposure. I also think he needs to talk specifically to African Americans and Hispanic Americans. He needs to explain how his positions will benefit them.

We have to keep talking about Bernie and his policies! Honestly, we should start looking at local politicians running and see where they stand on banks, on the minimum wage, on campaign finances laws, and on trade!

We have to blow this up past the presidential race and make this about the whole darn party!
