President Obama stunned the world with huge crowds both here and in Europe in 2008. In 2016 Sec. Clinton proved there was more than one way to win a Primary (and general election?) by keeping things intentionally smaller, quieter, and more intimate.

In the end all that Sanders hoopla amounted to nothing but noise and expenses. Even worse, "Big Stage Bernie" demonstrated a real lack when it came to kitchen table politics. Truthfully, I think he struggled with the human touch - something that motivated Hillarie's supporters who showed quiet strength and resolve.
