Top Five Things I Observed Attending Yesterday’s Bernie Rally in Denver
1) There was a strong presence of drugs.
2) There was a lot of sexual depravity.
3) There was a noticeable lack of racial diversity in attendance.
4) The rally was surprisingly low energy.
5) The whole rally was built on fear.

My Walk on the Wild Side – Attending a Bernie Sanders Rally
The Bernie rally started off with some local officials whipping up the crowd, including one young woman with a high-pitched voice screeching unintelligibly, a metaphor for the Democrat party, made worse by the dismal acoustics in the convention center. Finally, Bernie, the man of the hour, took stage and launched into his standard stump speech.
Trump is a racist, sexist, homophobe. (So is Michael Bloomberg based on recent revelations, but Bernie hasn’t gone there, yet.) America is a racist country through and through, he told the raucous throngs. The solutions are the Green New Deal and Medicare for All. As predictable as sunrise and sunset.
It was indeed a walk on the wild side. As Lou Reed sang in the iconic song, “Everybody had to pay and pay. A hustle here and a hustle there.” Every one of Bernie’s proposals was a hustle. Everybody, not just the rich, has to pay and pay. Interestingly, four years ago, Bernie railed against millionaires and billionaires. Now that he is in the former category, he only mentions billionaires. Who of course aren’t “paying their fair share” of taxes.
