Bernie Sanders rallies voters in Rochester

Hours after Hillary Clinton’s landslide victory in South Carolina, Bernie Sanders sought to build support in Minnesota by rallying supporters in Rochester to caucus for him on Tuesday.

“In Minnesota, we will win if the voter turnout is higher, no doubt about that,” Sanders told hundreds of people at the Mayo Civic Center. “We will not win if the voter turnout is low.”

...Sanders hit on his standard campaign messages of increasing the minimum wage to $15, instituting paid family and sick leave, expanding healthcare and Social Security, and breaking the power of Wall Street banks. He said he would tax Wall Street to make college debt-free.

“If Congress could bail out the crooks on Wall Street, then you know what, it's time for Wall Street to help the middle class,” Sanders said.

1. Didn't he say the same thing in Nevada?? Or was it Iowa? Or both? I know I heard this before.

“In Minnesota, we will win if the voter turnout is higher, no doubt about that,” Sanders told hundreds of people at the Mayo Civic Center. “We will not win if the voter turnout is low.”


This has not been a high turnout primary for the Democrats. I think it's because a lot of them have the attitude that they can and will vote for "either-or." They don't have a problem with either person winning, so they'll just vote for the winner and that's that.

3. It will be interesting

I'm going to the caucus for the first time since I moved to this district 8 years ago. I will be caucusing for Sanders so he may be correct.

7. Bernie ran away with my Senate District in suburban Mpls

Though, strangely, in my precinct we recorded one write in vote for Rubio. Some poor confused Republican who didn't figure out s/he was in the wrong place.
