Tulsi Gabbard and Jeff Merkley in Portland

Great speakers and great energy from the audience. Tulsi mentioning her resignation as DNC chair probably drew the biggest roar from the crowd.

Wondering if there are still the huge crowds Bernie was attracting earlier...before the media - and Hillary - really stepped up their "Bernie can't win/Bernie's already lost" campaign.

Just for reference, a rally with Bernie held the week before in Eugene (a much smaller town), also on a weekday, and with only half a day's notice given, drew over 8000.

If/when he comes back to Portland, he'll once again get 2x that or more. (Even if we can't promise any more birdie visits.)
