The South Bronx just felt a serious BERN !!!!!

It was awesome !!!!

I was watching on YouTube with 4,900 other viewers.

There was 15,000 people at the rally.

Residente a singer from Puerto Rico gave a serious history lesson.

It was the first rally that I have watched where Bernie could not stop

the clapping , cheers, and chants.

When he raised his hands in the air like he does to stop them, they cheered

louder.

What a welcome home for him !!!!!

Did you know Jane, his wife was born in New York ?

I don't know if she was with him or not.

I was watching the YouTube chat and they were donating fast and furious.

Is it a rock concert atmosphere ???

That is the vibe I get when I watch his rallies.

hears the crowd numbers and sees the pics of the crowds that come out for Bernie?

She has got to be 'feeling the Bern'.

So when she sees those crowds, she thinks they equal a gathering of one or two super-delegates, nothing more.

edit to add:

The Democratic Party must get rid of super-delegates, absurd concept and entirely undemocratic.

In the meantime, we'll have to do our best to overcome. So glad to see the great turnout in this New York rally! I went to a very large one in San Diego, it was great to be around so many Bernie supporters.
