Bernie Sanders swept through Massachusetts Saturday, drawing large crowds in both Springfield and Boston.

More than 20,000 people came out to see him in Boston, filling the stadium floor at the Boston Exhibition and Convention Center. A few thousand did not fit inside but stayed in cold weather and watched the speech on screens in an overflow area outside.

"You guys are the true believers," Sanders said, addressing those in the dark outside who gave him a celebrity's welcome after his hour and half speech inside the arena.

"Thank you for freezing out here," he continued standing on a platform with a microphone and waving to the crowd over their cheers. "Were you able to see the speech?

Is there something we are missing with Sanders?

He's not even a afterthought 95% of the time till his crowd numbers come out.

That's a lot of people to come out and see a geriatric socialist speak.

I laugh my ass off at all the lefties who for years have gotten their panties wadded up when their favorite democrat politician was labeled a socialist and now they're proudly supporting a socialist.  If you want to get Unfriended fast point that out to any Sanders supporters you know.

I was listening to SiriusXM Progress and the host was taking calls on which candidate his listeners supported. The overarching theme with Sanders supporters was that they didn't think he could win because "he's been labeled as a socialist."

Well, it's not really a "label" when you are a self-admitted Socialist.

I may have to switch parties and vote for Bernie in the primaries to string out the process on the democrapic side.  Rush advocated this back in 2008, Operation something or another.

This guy is dangerous

There's a whole lot of pissed off people in this country and he's telling them what they want to hear.

If it comes down to Hillary and Sanders , Sanders will take it from her.
Hillary will not get the nomination .

I don't think there is  a Republican running that could beat Sanders.

This stuff will resonate pretty much in every state.

I'm telling you this guy is dangerous .

2.Increasing the federal minimum wage from $7.25 to $15 an hour by 2020. In the year 2015, no one who works 40 hours a week should be living in poverty.
3.Putting at least 13 million Americans to work by investing $1 trillion over five years rebuilding our crumbling roads, bridges, railways, airports, public transit systems, ports, dams, wastewater plants, and other infrastructure needs.
4.Reversing trade policies like NAFTA, CAFTA, and PNTR with China that have driven down wages and caused the loss of millions of jobs. If corporate America wants us to buy their products they need to manufacture those products in this country, not in China or other low-wage countries

To be honest #3 doesn't bother me, but then again it will cost a lot more than $1trillion.

Others he can't do without congress, so not going to happen.

Are you serious? Just about any Republican running could beat Sanders. In the general election, Sanders is the weakest candidate the Democrats could run. Not more than 25% would vote for a "socialist" candidate. Remember that "socialism" is a dirty word in America.

My money is on Joe Biden being the Democratic nominee. The Dems are not stupid.

The Dem base WANTS Sanders but the power brokers in the party want Hillary.

The absolute best case scenario would be for Sanders to get snubbed by the Dems despite huge grass roots support and run Independent.

And "socialism" isn't as dirty a word as you might imagine. I'm shocked as hell be how many people that I know LOVE Sanders and know exactly what he labels himself.

And there is a shot of it happening again.

Not saying it is going to happen but he does stand a chance.

And that a frightening glimpse into the direction this nation is headed. An unabashed socialist…. In contention for the white house….. after 8 years of a closet socialist…..Fuck.
