The line walking to the Bernie rally right now at Eastern Michigan University

[UglyGreed]

[FreakinDJ]

1. In the snow evan

[Roy Rolling]

121. That's dedication

In the freezing cold? God bless the young, it is on their backs the revolution will be carried.

[Siwsan]

2. And I can attest that it is BITTER cold, today!!

I applaud their stamina!

[UglyGreed]

4. Yeah but they won't vote

[Siwsan]

5. Of course not!!!!

Ypsilanti and Ann Arbor - home of the lazy, irresponsible and feckless constituents.

[CentralMass]

33. Yes, they just like to wait in the cold for hours to attend rallies.

[Siwsan]

42. Michigan winters can really mess with your mind

And can we be absolutely sure that wasn't a line up for a new micro-brew pub??

[CentralMass]

52. Most likely atendence in both of places was involved.

[Siwsan]

75. Or to one of our distilleries, to fill the requisite cold weather survival flask

Michigan is taking the art of producing potable vices to a whole new, tasty level.

[CorporatistNation]

119. These People WILL BE VOTING!

She WIll Be Toast!

[Red Oak]

13. Good one!

[Gene Debs]

26. They all just want free stuff!

[rhett o rick]

77. Exactly, we want "free-dom" not servitude offered by the Oligarchy. nm

[Vinca]

3. Does that line go all the way to the green light?? That's amazing!

[bunnies]

7. From another pic in the Bernie group...

It looks like it goes PAST it!

[pangaia]

11. WOW !!!

[Red Oak]

14. Holy bleep

OK, looking for a Clinton line like this.

Anyone???

[Duval]

68. I second that Holy bleep!! nt

[PWPippin]

32. Enlarge the image

and the line literally is out of sight! Wow!!!

[ybbor]

109. Holy crap!

I was lucky enough to very near the front, first 200 or so. Didn't realize it went that far. Simply amazing!

It took about 2 hours for every one to get inside.

Definitely worth the wait!

[bkkyosemite]

8. much farther...as the eye can see.

[bkkyosemite]

6. Same as Las Vegas

The lines are YUGGGEEE!

[amborin]

9. record cold temps in that area....

[Donkees]

10. Free Bernie Sandwiches! FEEL THE BERN!

[Kip Humphrey]

17. I want to know WHO incarcerated dem sandwiches???

[Donkees]

18. Koch brothers and Christie!

[lasttrip]

34. ..

[Donkees]

43. HERO!

[R. Daneel Olivaw]

12. I don't believe this picture. It has clearly been photoshopped

from a Russian bread line photo.

Clearly only commies looking for free stuff go to Sanders rallies.



Now out of Clinton mode...

I'm happy that SBS is getting the turnout he needs.

We all win when we stick together!

[Ed Suspicious]

54. Seriously?

[cherokeeprogressive]

64. Do yourself a favor... Nay, do us ALL a favor and delete this. It's offensive.

[LiberalLovinLug]

57. It has to be!

I mean look at how Hillary is getting the big big crowds:

[R. Daneel Olivaw]

74. The only thing that could make that better

is if they all had HillaryHeads.

hmmmmm...

HillaryHeads(R)

[Not Sure]

127. I totally want that ill-fitting Hillary mask! nt

[AzDar]

15. Go, Bernie GO!!

[LittleGirl]

16. That is amazing! eom

[Spitfire of ATJ]

19. I expect Camp Clinton is talking about refusing to count Michigan delegates,....again.

[CentralMass]

37. Actually, just for the record. The party hosed Michigan and decided

to not allown the votes initially because of there decision to hold an early primary. Senator Obama wasn't even on the ballot.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

85. Oh yeah,...that's right. She wanted Michigan to count when Obama wasn't even on the ballot....

The DNC awarded him delegates which totally pissed off the Hillary supporters since he got ZERO votes.

The PUMAs roared.

[LWolf]

20. "Back in 2016,

I walked miles through the snow for Bernie."

[SammyWinstonJack]

25. Ha!

[KentuckyWoman]

66. uphill

both ways

with no shoes.

[LWolf]

84. Exactly.

[GreenPartyVoter]

21. Love it!

[Jefferson23]

22. Encouraging! K&R

[Punkingal]

23. Outstanding!

Just talked to my brother who lives down the road in Milan, and it's 24 degrees today.

[ybbor]

111. I spent the day with a guy from Milan

We were in line together and stood next to each other during the speech.

He is a new citizen from England and is very excited to vote in his first presidential election.

Good chap.

It was cold, but so worth it.

[bbgrunt]

24. wonderful to see!

[scscholar]

27. But the media will never talk about this

Never talk about this.

[loudsue]

82. People I talk to about Bernie have NO CLUE that he has crowds like this.

That, above anything, destroys my hope for this country. Our media is going for total mind control.

[Kalidurga]

28. Those lines are actually kind of fun.

I've been in two long lines for a Bernie rally. Time goes fast when you are happy.

[SusanaMontana41]

98. I'll bet they are!

Passionate loves passionate, baby,

WOOT WOOT!

[ybbor]

112. Yeah!

I had a blast today!

Good folks in those lines!

[riversedge]

29. Bernie has two stops in MI today--but will do a fly-over for Flnt.

[restorefreedom]

31. he doesnt pander for photo ops.

he was the first to call for the resignation of the governor

[Merryland]

46. he's not into pandering n/t

[panader0]

48. Weak, really weak...

[cyberswede]

61. Oh dear.

...and he LEFT CHURCH EARLY1!!111

[Autumn]

69. I hear tell he took the collection plate, and grape juice and crackers on his way out

[cyberswede]

70. ...and he's snarfing them down on a plane as he flies over Flint!!!11

[Autumn]

72. I heard he sent BernieBros to buy up all the bottled water they can

so he can sell it back at inflated prices to pay for HIS kids college, effectively giving them free college!1!1!1






+

[Motown_Johnny]

90. He met with citizens from Flint before the rally

and started his remarks by recounting parts of that meeting.



You know, not with the Mayor, or other people in power. With Actual CITIZENS!!!

[Casandia]

93. Bernie met with 7 Moms today in FLINT - before the event in Ypsilanti, so...

quit with your snarky sarcasm.

[riversedge]

97. Glad he learned from Hillary and finally met some folks from Flint.

[TheFarS1de]

115. No , he did'nt learn anyhting from Hillary ...

for a start he didn't charge them for gracing them with his presence

[longship]

35. I will be supporting and voting for Bernie in the MI primary.

It is nice to see this. Ypsilanti and Ann Arbor (U of M) are liberal strongholds.

We need them, because here in rural west MI Ted Cruz is likely the choice of the majority theocrats. And give up on Grand Rapids, all but owned by the Dutch Reformed Calvanists headed by the DeVoss (AmWay) family and their evil spawn (Black Water -- remember them, yup DeVoss family, too).

[Shadowflash]

76. I'm in West MI

In Kalamazoo and most people I know, Republican and Democrat, ar going to vote Bernie.

Of course, take that with a grain of salt because I try not to associate with the bat-shit crazy Repubs.

[safeinOhio]

36. That is my

Alma Mater

[LiberalElite]

38. Another DUer is on that line- Motown_Johnny -

posted a line pic in the Sanders group.

[ybbor]

86. I was, too.

Last edited Mon Feb 15, 2016, 08:42 PM - Edit history (1)

Got there early, waited for over three hours outside, but was second back right in front of him.

It was pretty cold, but we all just kept strong and some took turns going to their cars to warm up. Great crowd!

Bernie was electric! I wish I knew how to upload pictures.

[Motown_Johnny]

91. I got there about 10:50

and ended up in the front row of the upper deck just a little left of center.

What a great time.

[ybbor]

92. Got there around 9:15

Last edited Mon Feb 15, 2016, 09:25 PM - Edit history (1)

Did you see where the Hare Kriishnas were set up with their food and drink? That is where we were in line. So pretty close. Then got so close, could hear him without amplification.

A lot of the folks I was waiting with sat behind the stage and got to shake his hand. One woman had a sign that lit up and he signed it for her. So cool!!

Definitely one of the cooler things I've had the pleasure to witness. And I've been lucky enough to experience some pretty sweet shit in my life.

Still feeling high from it!

I really like our chances with this guy as our leader. And as he said, it is about us to make it happen!

Let's do this people!

[Motown_Johnny]

94. Damn. That was right by the door.

The only analogy I have to the feeling that rally gave me was the first time I saw The Greatful Dead (many many moons ago).


What a great speaker. I love how he ad libs a little here and there. When he said he couldn't use that word anymore (Yooge) because every time he does 100,00 do that, I just about burst out laughing.


I've seen President Obama speak live and Bernie left me even more excited than he did.


What a fun President's day!

[ybbor]

95. That's funny!

I mentioned my Dead shows on multiple occasions today.

One of my sweet experiences was going to the Fare Thee Well shows this summer.

I loved how he spoke without notes the whole time. Or it at least appeared to be the case.

He was pretty funny, too.

Great day! Glad we got to share it!

[ybbor]

99. Here's a photo from up close

http://imgur.com/a/AsxU8

Pretty sweet.

[Motown_Johnny]

100. That is a good one

Here are some of mine (still working on a better way to share photos)

[ybbor]

107. I downloaded the imgur app

Just now actually, but I don't know how to get them to just show up and not just the url.

I couldn't see your photos on my iPad, but I'll check them when I get on my laptop.

We are lucky people my friend, I'm sure our paths have crossed before today, and hopefully will again. Perhaps in DC for the inauguration.

[Rybak187]

126. I was in the line too. I've got pictures that I will post later but after I made it through security

From inside the building I've got a picture through the stadium of the line still all the way around the corner and beyond.

[earthside]

39. Meanwhile in Hillary-land ...

At the Hillarian 'safe place' they are trumpeting the great turn out of supporters in Summerlin, Nevada (that is in Las Vegas).

Once again, a very narrow, curtained-off venue.

Sure enough, turns out to be a crowd of only 650 people.

At rally Sunday evening at a community center at Sun City Summerlin, Clinton emphasized to a crowd of about 650 people the importance of showing up to caucus.
http://lasvegassun.com/news/2016/feb/14/clinton-supreme-court-vacancy-could-spell-doom-for/

It looks like you'll have a few more than that at Eastern Michigan University, right?

[Motown_Johnny]

101. The estimate is above 10,000

YPSILANTI (WWJ) — Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders spoke to a crowd of more than 10,000 supporters on Monday afternoon on the campus of Eastern Michigan University.

[gregcrawford]

40. DAMN!

There are enough people in that line to warrant their own Zip Code! Where the hell will they put them all?

[whatchamacallit]

41. A lot of SheBros there... n/t

[GoneOffShore]

44. Way cool!

[Merryland]

45. Bernie really has charisma

(not to diminish everything else I love about him)

[dorkzilla]

47. WOW!!! What a joy to behold!

Yeah, that's a few more than the rally for 650 that turned out for Hillary in Vegas

[Orsino]

49. Kick-ass. n/t

[beam me up scottie]

50. Who was it that announced the surge was over here?

I may have to go look for that thread.

Go Bernie!

[SoapBox]

51. More fringe!

[Enthusiast]

53. Kicked and recommended to the Max!

[Enthusiast]

55. Yay, Eagles! Yay, Bernie!

[enigmatic]

56. Have a couple friends there right now

Very jealous of them!

[Dont call me Shirley]

58. Wow! And the media says there's a tie?

[navarth]

59. We just drove by there...awesome!!

Unfortunately my wife's knees can't take a long line like that. So we drove along the line and I was honking my horn and shaking my left fist out the window. The response was wonderful. They obviously saw my Bernie bumper sticker and shouted out the love to us. Man, the energy was awesome!! The line was yuuuuuge!

I wish I could have done more. I wish I was in there right now. But my dear wife wouldn't be able to hang with standing that long. Sucks.

GO BERNIE!

[UglyGreed]

78. I wish you and your wife all the best

and don't worry others will help Bernie help us all.

[navarth]

79. Thanks, UG

I know they will carry on.

[democrank]

60. Feelin` the Bern

on a cold day.

[cali]

62. Up to 10,000 expected there

Up to 10,000 people are expected to rally for Bernie Sanders on Monday afternoon on the campus of Eastern Michigan University.

YPSILANTI (WWJ) — Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders spoke to a crowd of more than 10,000 supporters on Monday afternoon on the campus of Eastern Michigan University.

[catbyte]

63. Hahaha. Kasich came to Grand Valley State University today & about 150 showed up--

if that. From the looks of it, it was 99.999% white, 80% male, 75% retired. Pitiful. On the news at noon, he reiterated that Obama should hold off nominating a Supreme Court Justice because the country is just "too divided", but he would go ahead and nominate somebody because he's a Republican & could get a vote. Asshole. So I guess Democrats can't nominate anyone during an election year, but a Republican can. God, I hate Republicans. Sorry for the off-topic rant.

What a difference!

[Nyan]

123. The difference is stark, indeed.

Repugs are pathetic.

[Duval]

65. YOOOUGE lines! K&R!

Thanks UglyGreed.

[snort]

67. Whoot!!

[Nanjeanne]

71. watching live

[Duckfan]

73. Are you sure it's not a line for the secret Led Zepplin reunion tour?

[navarth]

80. Any video anywhere??? The NBC link has expired. nt

[dchill]

81. Capehart says that's a Rappaport rally!

:grin:

[TBF]

88. ...

[MadDAsHell]

83. That is frickin' awesome! nt

[TBF]

87. "Unelectable" Smh. nt

[Motown_Johnny]

89. Holy crap you walked right past me,

you should check in on the Bernie Sanders group for this kind of thing.

I was just about even with that EMU sign you have in your pic.



I just got home, will update with pics after I eat something.

[senz]

105. lol, small world ...

glad you were there too, MJ.

[Feeling the Bern]

96. Completely unelectable

Yeah, that's the meme and that's the ticket.

[senz]

104. If only people WANTED him for president ...

[gordyfl]

102. And Just Two Days Ago in Denver...

[chervilant]

116. Hi11ary can only DREAM

of crowds that BIG and ENTHUSIASTIC!!!!

Go BERNIE!!!

#NotMeUs

[senz]

106. Cool that you were there, UG!

[B Calm]

108. Bernie is hot!

[Lorien]

110. You mean this line?

[gordyfl]

114. Wow.That's Astonishing.

Beyond what I imagined.

[newthinking]

118. Amazing! Did this make the National news?

[Lorien]

124. No idea. I found the video

on Facebook. I doubt the mainstream media would ever show 2.5 minutes of a guy driving past a line (or admit that Bernie has such a YUGE following)!

[questionseverything]

129. of course not...there is no national news

there is only propaganda 24/7

the only "news" we have now is the net

so we all need to spread it

[healthnut7]

122. WOW!!

That is amazing and plus it being cold!!!!

[6chars]

113. they don't look like bros

no kegs

[DI Freighter Watcher]

117. Pure Michigan

WOW That is so awesome. MICHIGAN is not a Republican state. We are part of the political revolution states. FEEL THE BERN! Thank you for the picture!

[SciDude]

120. Wow, this is amazing to see Michigan feeling the BERN!

[libodem]

125. They got the Bern Notice

Hot danm!

[NoMoreRepugs]

128. Think of a sports team that has tremendous momentum going into a playoff scenario..

Bernie's exposure on MSM builds every single day and so do his crowds, the 'word' is out
people - there is someone who can represent US.....
