Typically speaking 15% of the crowd are people who have never voted and 25% of the crowd consists of democrats. Also, Bernie's rally was in Denver, certainly a fertile area for him.

My confidence wavers because of crap like this: Trump will pretty much do anything within his power (and outside of it, for that matter... as demonstrated by what's been revealed in the last 6 months or so) to get reelected. Like him or not. Corrupt as hell or not. Blatant narcissistic liar or not... He's the most powerful man in the world. That's the reason so many on the left are frightened and worried. It doesn't mean he's going to be reelected, but we can worry about it because the electorate already looked past his own admissions of being a sexual predator and his own well documented bigotry and racism and his own well documented shady business dealings over decades and his own calls to foreign governments to interfere in our election, among other things. I'm a believer the old adage "fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me" will apply to the American people this time around as they have seen (and this part is simply undeniable) CONSTANT lies coming out of the White House. You seem to dislike lies so much... why do you find Trump's CONSTANT lying acceptable in any way? But once again, I am prepared for a 2nd term of Trump. That's because my bar for America's electorate is lower than it was when the day began on November 8th, 2016. "Waaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!!!!" Your life has probably improved under Trump, or at least none of your problems can be traced to his policies. Your hand wringing is self-inflicted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure they are saying the venue does not hold more than double the announced amount. Did Bernie have an overflow? If not, the announced crowd size is er, probably inaccurate. Nevertheless, Bernie is the only one drawing any sort of crowd on the Democratic side, the only one with any sort of enthusiasm. That must be worrisome of the Democratic leadership.

Trump is getting names and email addresses along with the voting status of his rally attendees and other demographics. So yes, he counts the people who show up. Bernie claimed attendance of 11400 in a place that advertises that it only holds 5000. I guess that's a good crowd for a democrat though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedge Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 9 hours ago, B-Man said: Granted, it doesn't sound good to hear a wealthy, white man say this, but it's not nearly as bad as what is being portrayed. My take: The comment about not knowing how to behave in the workplace will not hurt him with minorities. I've worked in a number of organizations who have a call center component. I have heard with my own ears, numerous times, from minorities, that there should be training and guidance on this very subject of how to behave in the workplace. Those who work in call centers (specifically, those on the phones) usually don't have a college education. A large percent of them are minorities, who just got their foot in the door into the corporate world and have no experience in it otherwise. From their own stories, I know that a number struggle because behavior, that may be rewarded in the neighborhood they grew up in, does not fly inside corporate walls. It can be a culture shock. They had no real role models and no training on what to expect. A number of these minorities even use a different voice and manner of speaking than what is natural for them (what I have heard many refer to as their "white people voice"), so they can more readily blend in. Many of these people realize the struggle and would relish the opportunity to learn more about their environment and how to be successful within it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloomberg’s ‘mercenaries’: Billionaire Dem funding network of climate lawyers inside state AG offices By Tyler Olson | Fox News A program funded by 2020 presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg is paying the salaries of lawyers who are farmed out to liberal state attorney general offices to pursue climate-based litigation -- a compact critics say amounts to Bloomberg buying state law enforcement employees to advance his preferred political agenda. The arrangement, which currently pays the salaries of Special Assistant Attorneys General (SAAGs) in 10 Democratic AG offices, is drawing new scrutiny now that Bloomberg is running for president. The New York University School of Law's State Energy & Environmental Impact Center, which was started in 2017 with $5.6 million from Bloomberg's nonprofit, hires mid-career lawyers as "research fellows" before providing them to state AGs where they assist in pursuing "progressive" policy goals through the courts. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/bloomberg-network-climate-lawyers-ag 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldTimeAFLGuy Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 ...Bern "feeling the burn"?......deja vu...………. MSNBC's Ari Melber calls out Tom Perez, DNC for changing debate rules to help Bloomberg: 'It's not fair' By Joseph A. Wulfsohn | Fox News MSNBC anchor Ari Melber called out the Democratic National Committee (DNC) as well as its chairman Tom Perez for changing its debate rules that could pave the way for former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg to land a spot on the debate stage. The DNC sparked controversy last month after it announced that it would no longer require its candidates to meet a donor threshold, which along with polling benchmarks were required for 2020 Democrats to meet in order to have a podium. But since Bloomberg has been self-funding his campaign, he was considered ineligible to participate despite his rise in the polls- that is until the DNC changed the rules. After pointing out Perez's explanation of the donor rule last year, which was to empower "grassroots" movements for more unknown candidates, and his defense of the debate rules after they were criticized by former 2020 candidate Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J, Melber asked his viewers if it's "fair" for the DNC to change the rules "in the middle of the game." https://www.foxnews.com/media/msnbc-ari-melber-tom-perez-dnc-bloomberg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sanders campaign manager rips MSNBC for 'undermining' senator's candidacy: 'You can feel the disdain' for his supporters By Joseph A. Wulfsohn | Fox News The campaign manager for Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., blasted MSNBC's coverage of the progressive candidate, accusing the liberal network of "undermining" the campaign. Speaking to Vanity Fair, Faiz Shakir revealed that he had "approached" MSNBC president Phil Griffin, recalling from the exchange, "We watched a ton of terrible coverage occurring and we thought we’d at least try to address it." Supporters of the Sanders campaign have been quite vocal with their complaints towards MSNBC in recent weeks, with anchor Chuck Todd being repeatly named. Todd raised eyebrows for asking how Sanders is "considered a frontrunner" despite his victory in New Hampshire and his surge in the polls and was slammed for suggesting that Sanders supporters were a "digital brownshirt brigade," which was condemned by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL). https://www.foxnews.com/media/sanders-campaign-manager-faiz-shakir-msnbc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
