Bernie Sanders rally last night in Seattle was a HUGE success! Turnout was a whopping 15,000, beating the high turnout records set for a Sanders rally in Phoenix, Arizona and Madison, Wisconsin.
Now the stage is set and all eyes are on the city of Portland, Oregon, where Bernie Sanders will be holding a town hall meeting this evening, Sunday, August 9, 2015 at 7:00 p.m. The Sanders campaign had to move the location of the Portland town hall due to the overwhelming response received from those who RSVP'd across the state of Oregon to attend the rally.
But the big question is - can they turn out the numbers at the rally this evening to dethrone the reigning champ, the city of Seattle, who holds the record for largest turnout at a Sanders rally that is less than 24 hours old? Seattle has thrown down the gauntlet - how will Portland respond?
Here are the details of the event along with the link to RSVP:

And by the way, renting these huge venuses costs the campaign a lot of money - if you have a few spare dollars, consider throwing some to Bernie's campaign to offset these costs:
