Sanders campaign has 7,000 RSVPs- so far- for his Denever rally on Saturday [View all]

On Saturday, Sanders is scheduled to hold an event in Denver, where campaign officials said they already have received about 7,000 RSVPs. If they all show up, it would be perhaps the largest rally any candidate in either party has staged thus far in the 2016 campaign cycle.

Clinton supporters keep pointing out that the enthusiastic crowds that Bernie is attracting don't mean much. They certainly have a point in that crowds don't necessarily translate into votes, but they're way off base in another sense. Bernie's message is resonating and I think it's clear that he's attracting people who are alienated from our political process as well as dems. That's a good thing.
All in all, whatever happens, Bernie is good for the country and good for the Democratic Party. He's forcing a discussion that we need to have about our fragile democracy.
In Vegas this morning, He attracted hundred at 9:00 am and they were on their feet cheering multiple times. He's saying things that people have been thinking about our government. There's a reason Congress is so despised- and really, it goes beyond being unpopular.
Elected Democrats need to listen. They need to listen not only to Bernie, but to the cheers of the crowds listening to him. They're saying something.
Democratic aren't the only ones who need to listen; the MSM does too.
