Oh my.
Too bad.
It's not like it's not anything this side hasn't had to deal with.

Media Silent as Bernie Sanders Packs California Stadium Beyond Capacity
Despite the mainstream media’s repeated assertions that the Bernie Sanders movement is now a thing of the past, enthusiasm from his base only seems to be growing, based on the overwhelming number of people who flocked to his rally in Sacramento this Monday night.
Supporters lined up for over four hours to see Senator Sanders outside Bonney Field — some of them even longer. The following video by Our Voice Media shows the massive scope of the line, as the videographers take several minutes to drive from one end of the line to the other.

5. Neither event got much coverage
The vast majority of election coverage over the past two days has been about Trump. Especially with respect to his "feud" with Paul Ryan.
^^^yeah, that, especially considering it's already "old news" that Messalina Agrippina's the nominee-presumptive.

7. When she beats your candidate
you'll understand why she meets with smaller groups on purpose.
Rallies! Wooohooo!
Too bad the race is functionally over.

9. "My candidate?"
I am a Democrat, always have been. I posted a sort-of news item.

2. He no longer has a chance of winning the nomination. And they fully covered his huge NY rallies,
which didn't lead translate to a huge win in NY. Or any win.

3. So this kind of crowd isn't news?
But Hillary's 1/4 gymnasium IS?

41. As they should be. He has lost. No matter what his mouth spouts.

42. There's nothing newsworthy about that. Nobody cares.
I know that will come as a shock to many Bernie fans (and Hillary Haters) but the fact of the matter is that Bernie is not going to be the nominee. I mean, seriously now, everyone's already heard the "when-I-started-this-campaign-I-was-polling-at-3%" speech.
Bernie should take the hint. (As should his followers.)
Yeah.

Rob should tell the Shillary scrunts to pull their heads out of their vaginas. :fuelfire:

As the repuke primaries have demonstrated, lunatics can draw huge crowds.
County fairs always have people lined up to see the bearded lady and the Siamese twins.

Bernie is going to crush in Kalifornia. I have yet to see one sign or bumper sticker for Queen Canquilles here. Lots of Bernie ones.

the massive scope of the line
The Sandernistas heard they were giving out brown bread and gruel. Socialists love lines.

Ummm ... Bonney Field in Sacramento is a soccer stadium in Cal Expo - capacity 11K, poor access/egress. IOW, it's not AT&T Park, the LA Coliseum, or the Rose Bowl in terms of capacity, and Cal Expo is designed to be the site of the state fair, not for efficient access and egress of large crowds. So the DU folk, in their ignorance, are mountainizing a moderate-sized hill.
That said, The Bern is mounting an earnest campaign in CA. He's not just sticking to the neighborhoods of SFO, LAX, and SAN. Today he demonstrated his solidarity with the working folk of the Stockton area by holding a 7AM rally in a venue near the junction of I-5 and SR-4 (a significant freeway interchange). I'm sure all those Central Valley workers whose daily commute was made extra wretched are completely motivated to vote for The Bern!
