Bernie Sanders Draws More Than 20,000 People At Boston Rally
The presidential contender is breaking Obama’s records on the trail.
Oct 4, 2015
Massachusetts is feeling the Bern.
More than 20,000 of its residents turned out for a Bernie Sanders rally at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center on Saturday, no small feat even in a Democratic-leaning state.
The Vermont independent senator who is campaigning for the Democratic presidential nomination appears to have broken a record for a primary candidate’s audience in the state — shooting past then-Sen. Barack Obama’s rally of 10,000 people eight years ago, according to the Boston Globe.
Sanders’ campaign has been swimming in good news lately. Earlier this week, it announced a third-quarter fundraising total of $26 million — right on the heels of Sanders’ rival Hillary Clinton and her $28 million haul.
The senator has also exceeded another Obama marker by becoming the first candidate to reach 1 million online donations nearly five months earlier than the president did.

Pastor’s Mind Blowing Biblical Argument To Vote For Sanders (AUDIO)
9/16/15
When Bernie Sanders gave a speech at Liberty University on Monday morning, he was hoping to initiate a “civil discourse.” He has done far more than that. He inspired an evangelical pastor and counselor who was in the audience to write a sermon saying that because he stands with Jesus, he also stands with Bernie Sanders.
THE BIBLICAL ARGUMENT LIES WITH TWO WILD-HAIRED JEWS
The evangelical’s name is Jim. He posted the sermon on Reddit and, because of the overwhelming response, issued an audio explanation of the Biblical argument that shows how he can be both an Evangelical conservative and a Bernie Sanders supporter. Jim’s most powerful statement lies in his comparison of Sanders to a Biblical figure:

Sanders Stands by Obama and Rejects Clinton Plan for a “No-Fly Zone” in Syria
October 03, 2015
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) would oppose any attempt to unilaterally impose a “no-fly zone” over Syria, breaking with fellow Democratic primary candidate Hillary Clinton, who in an interview Thursday said she would “advocate” for one in order to “create humanitarian corridors” on the ground.
In a statement emailed Saturday, Sanders expressed his support for President Barack Obama’s policy of bombing Islamic State group targets while offering support to rebel factions fighting to topple Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
An attempt to create a no-fly zone over the country, Sanders said, “could get us more deeply involved in that horrible civil war and lead to a never-ending U.S. entanglement in that region.”
“We do not want to make a very complex situation in Syria even worse,” Sanders said. “I support President Obama’s effort to combat the Islamic State in Syria while at the same time supporting those in Syria trying to overthrow the brutal dictatorship of Bashar Assad.”
