In reply to the discussion: Bernie Sanders draws his biggest crowd yet — in Arizona of all places [View all]Divernan
(15,480 posts)16. "People outside his comfort zone"? Multi-billionaire sugar daddies?Wall Street bankers?
One Percenters? Hedge fund owners? War mongers/profiteers? Guess what!?! They are not welcome in progressive Democrats' or Bernie's comfort zone.
Sanders has touched upon the KEY vital concernS (that's plural concerns, not just income inequality), of the non-one-percenters, and that is why his crowds keep growing. He is exactly where he needs to be in getting his message across, as witness the huge, ever-growing, record-breaking crowds, even in red state Arizona.
He has a vital, substantive message to deliver - what you dismissively call his "stump speech" - and there's no reason to change or dilute that. It works! It works better with each passing day!
But your concern is noted.

Yep... this deep red state crowd beats the 10,000 in Madison. No other candidate has come close.
