Google it) and sign up for a debate party for Bernie.

Or hold one yourself and invite people.

Then we should send in pictures of all who attend and write our own news story and take our own polls on it.

Bernie and the other candidates will know that the reception for Hillary is rigged if the DNC rigs it. And hopefully they will mention how the debate audience was selected during the debates.

If they do, the next debate will have an audience that represents the diversity among the voters. Bernie drew another crowd that probably sets a record for this stage in the campaign.

Everybody loves Bernie. That's my impression.

Feel the Bern!

There is no arguing with the crowd sizes that Bernie draws. He has the grass-roots Democrats behind him.

They won't be dumping their support for Bernie. onecaliberal Oct 2015 #8

I think Left Ear meant dumping the Hillary support and changing to support Bernie. cui bono Oct 2015 #14

Bastards screw with Bernie and they will be burned on dae Oct 2015 #10

Not to worry...Bernie can handle anything thrown his way. Hillary needs the deck stacked in her favor, but it still won't help fill the authenticity gap. InAbLuEsTaTe Oct 2015 #36
