Bernie Draws Biggest Crowd Yet, Over 11k in Arizona

Arizona
from Time
Sanders' message continues to resonate, this time in a right wing stronghold.
Anybody think he has a chance, yet? He's still about 40 points back according to RCP, but there's a lot of time between now Nd the elections.

I dunno. I'd like to see him get the nod for the Demmies, so I'll be watching him closely....

He's back quite a bit nationally, but look at the New Hampshire primary. He's only 15 points back last I checked and those polls were from a few weeks ago. Sanders has been on a tear.

The amount of ground he's gained in only a couple months is amazing.

note to folks: If you like Bernie and you're registered to vote, and you are able to vote in the Democratic primaries, please do so. I know I will in my state's primary.

Amen. Democrats need to start voting. When we do, we win. Turnout for the last midterms was embarrassing and hurt us and the U.S. Warren for v.p. and we just might be able to make some real difference. Bernie is the mother fuckin Man.

I mean, with the support that he's getting now, I think it's great that people are backing what he stands for.
At the same time, I have a feeling that he's not going to win against these other big names in the primaries. So because of that, he's just gonna take the support that he's gotten and just funnel those votes towards whoever wins the Democratic Primaries (most likely Hilary). And ultimately, I don't like the other candidates.

Hillary is the only big name he's facing, and I'm pretty sure he's outpolling ALL GOP contenders at this point.
It's up to the DNC. Do they want to reclaim the title of progressive and actually nominate change? Or do they want even fewer Dem voters for the general when they nominate Hillary?
Listen up, DNC, we (progressives) are your jaded girlfriend, just do something nice for us once and we'll remember it. Or keep being a dick and we'll stop coming over at night.

The thing is that progressives and liberals will always vote for a Democratic candidate over a GOP candidate. They may be less likely to vote if they aren't excited about their candidate, but I think it depends on how much they hate the GOP contender. So they aren't really concerned about winning the progressive vote, they're trying to win the moderates.

Well, considering the front runners to the Repub nominations, there's a lot to hate.

I think it would be great to see a face off between him and trump, one guy who wants to protect America and another who wants to turn us into Greece/Venezuela... What a duel that would be!
