@paddleduck5328 Thank you for posting! I bet many, many more also would like @Xpert to answer my question. I didn't and don't expect one...a legitimate one. He expected to get by w/ no challenge , as too many naysayers, snarks and shysters do on too many postings. I'm trying my best to not let that happen re anything I read re Sen. Sanders, who was/is so much the better Dem candidate, and better person, to beat T., who gets worse by the hour. I see that Biden has agreed to 3 debates with him, and I don't see how they can end well for those of us who oppose T. Biden is just too weak on too many fronts...many seen over and over on You Tube.
There does seem to be an increase in support for Bernie' Medicare4A, as more learn about it and our nation continues to face such historic, awful health and economic stats. (A bill Biden said he would veto) Ditto re his $15 minimum wage Bill that passed the House last year, but McConnell won't release for a Senate vote And still Bernie keeps working, with his series of panels, roundtables, interviews and town halls, etc., on You Tube , with established leaders on the topics and introducing new-to-many younger progressives. With more than 13,000,000 votes in '16 as the relatively unknown junior senator from a small state, he shoulda won in '20. He's sure given it his all--again--and
I do find myself disappointed/angry that the campaign's communications and press folks were so ineffective in reaching/educating more of us about the necessity to beat T. and Bernie to get it done. #NotMe.Us #M4All

@celesteconnor5677 I so agree! TY. An IL native, I'm 81 now, 1st learned of Bernie in '63 when he was an undergrad at the U. of Chicago protesting school segregation, crossed a police line & arrested. The NAACP got him out the next day. He led the city's 1st sit-in, at the Chancellor's office, & organized a busload to DC for MLK's March for Jobs & Freedom, & historic "I Have a Dream" speech. He'd found his life's work young, as a warrior for civil, economic, environmental, gender, racial & social justice...& peace. The You Tube "Bernie & Civil Rights in Chicago" is great.

buck baumann Not exactly., but I agree with your point and quick post!! 6,200 said the Tulsa fire department in an arena that holds 19,000. BUT...also...the outdoor stage was dismantled and removed because there was NO ONE THERE. !! And, I have also heard/read that a number of folks did leave in mid-rally. !! And, altho' I didn't watch any of the rally, the coverage certainly is showing that T. lived up to his usual dreadful rant.
On the other hand, Bernie gives us the facts, the persistence of a lifetime, a record as a warrior for civil, economic, environmental; gender, racial and social justice...and for peace. Honors over the years such as named Man of the Year by the VFW and the American Legion (different years) for his consistent support of our veterans. Courage every day since he started in '63 as a student activist against housing segregation, etc., in Chicago. Four consecutive terms as the Independent, progressive mayor of Vermont's largest city where he helped save the beautiful Burlington waterfront for All from those who wanted condos for a few. An Independent member of the House for 16 years, where he was a member of the Dem Caucus. Ditto in the Senate, now in his 3rd term as a member of the Dem Caucus and as one of 10 members of the Dem Senate Leadership team.
How I hope Bernie sees, reads and hears every day how many of us want him to suspend and give us another chance to be the America we want to be...under his leadership and that by the other gifted public servants who would also work for us along side him in the Cabinet and in so many other important agencies that are now being injured under T. #NotMe.Us
