(June 4, 2016 10:00 a.m.) — Leah Dean showed up to Bernie Sanders’ rally in a small town 90 miles north of San Francisco carrying a bright blue and yellow sign. It said: “Strength in numbers.”

The 30-year-old’s poster was a reference to the slogan of the Golden State Warriors, the team that Sanders recently visited, leading him to compare his underdog campaign to the efforts of the basketball players, who last week overcame a significant deficit and made it to the NBA finals.

(Mar 20, 2016) — VANCOUVER, Washington—If it’s too late for Bernie Sanders to catch his rival Hillary Clinton and win enough delegates to become the Democratic Party’s nominee for president, someone forgot to tell Bryan Anaya.

Anaya, a 27-year-old construction worker from Vancouver, awoke at 5:30 a.m. Sunday because he’d heard on a radio talk show that Sanders had planned a rally in his city, in advance of Washington’s democratic caucus on Saturday. He and his girlfriend, 28-year-old Nichole Vega, dressed her two children, 6-year-old Julissa and 2-year-old Julian, and headed to Hudson’s Bay High School to wait in line in a blustery Pacific Northwest downpour, to hear Sanders speak. They waited for hours. “The kids are soaked,” Vega said.
