Bernie Draws 4 Times the Crowd Jindal's Presidential Announcement Drew in Louisiana! [View all]

He's SHATTERING the Myth we've been fed for years that a Progressive Message won't work in Red States. Which, we were told, is WHY we had to put up with Third Way/Blue Dogs in those states.

Looks like his MESSAGE is what is drawing the crowds. Who would have thought all that Conventional Wisdom could be so wrong?

Did Someone Say Bernie Can't Defeat Republicans? When a Virtual Unknown Democratic Socialist Draws 4 Times the Crowd the Gov. of Louisiana Drew for his Presidential Election, I Say, Whoever Said That is Wrong

The rally was something of a foray into enemy territory for Sanders. Statewide, Louisiana is solidly in the GOP’s column. The venue chosen for the rally, the Pontchartrain Center in conservative Jefferson Parish, hosted Gov. Bobby Jindal last month when he announced his own campaign for the presidency.

Sanders packed a larger room at the center for his speech, with supporters filling bleachers and crowding into a standing-room section of the venue. Estimates by organizers suggested the crowd was about four times as large as the roughly 1,000 people who came out to see Jindal’s speech.

Bernie stated that the Dem Party is wrong to 'write off' half the country:

Sanders, a U.S. senator from Vermont on the left wing of the Democratic Party, kicked off his speech by acknowledging that Louisiana does not frequently see Democratic candidates for president, something he said was a problem with an electoral strategy that writes off large swaths of the country.

“Somebody told me Louisiana was a conservative state. Well, guess what?” Sanders said as the crowd erupted in cheers. “I think my colleagues in the Democratic Party have made a serious, serious mistake, which is they have kind of written off half of America, including Louisiana. The time is now for us to fight in 50 states in the country.”

Same Venue as Jindal.

Bernie 4 - Jindal 1.

Jindal is the Governor of the State!

And Louisiana isn't the ONLY Red State where Bernie is packing in the crowds.

He drew huge crowds in Arizona also!

It's all about ISSUES. Across the political spectrum, that is what people care about.

Bernie is tuned in to the People.
