Tonight we have made a little bit of history. You may know that some 25 candidates are running for president of the United States, but tonight we have more people at a meeting for a candidate for president of the United States than any other candidate has.
Sanders also called for a “political revolution” he said “there is nothing that we cannot accomplish.” He said if elected president there would be longer paid maternity leave for all workers, higher minimum wage, free colleges for all and a required paid two week vacation.
Notably Sanders has been rising in the polls even though Hillary Clinton is seen as the democratic darling. Maybe people are actually paying attention to all of her scandals.
Sanders’ campaign collected data from the attendees including their name, email address and zip code. They also handed out stickers and sold campaign gear at the event.
He said:
I am more than aware that my opponents will be able to outspend us. But we are going to win this election. They may have the money, but we have the people. And when the people stand together, we can win.
