I shot with my Canon DSLR and a 70-200 mm lens in my right hand, while broadcasting a live stream on Periscope via an iPhone in my left hand (great workout). Pre-event estimates were forecasting 2500 to attend but estimates of actual attendance seem to range from 4000-5000, and Periscope said that 2717 more tuned in to the live broadcast from my iPhone!
Although some recent comprehensive polls show Bernie ahead of all other presidential candidates from any party, apparently many states have closed primary or caucus primary elections, and you can't vote for a candidate like Bernie unless you register as a Democrat in time for the primary phase of the elections. Take out moderate Republicans who want to see Citizens united repealed, and Hillary leads Bernie among Democratic-only voters, so voter restrictions in the primaries could eliminate popular candidates like Bernie and Trump before they reach the general election unless supporters make sure that they're registered in the party of the candidate they are most likely to support, and they vote in the primary election.

Jaa ha?
Thanks Jeff
It was the first time that I've attended a political speech +Barbara Matthews (although I saw Ronald Reagan speak at the STS-4 Space Shuttle landing in the early 1980s). It's frustrating that +Bernie Sanders has the platform that best aligns with mainstream America, but the media treats him like a leper. They know that he is the ONLY candidate who won't have superPACs spending millions on advertising.
