If you were unfamiliar with the candidates platforms, and saw nothing special about demographic backgrounds, and were covering the story as an unbiased reporter, you would observe that Trump for the Republicans and Sanders for the Democrats are generating the most excitement at this point by virtue of attendance at their rallies.

Trump's numbers might change a lot as other candidates drop out. Bernie is part of a small field, so in a way it is hard to fathom that he should vanish out of the field of 3, when he clearly is drawing more public support right now.

Now maybe it is the that the "silent majority" of Democrats prefer Hillary over Bernie, but then why is she not packing them in at her rallies, which are fewer than Bernie's?

If Debbie Wasserman Schultz wasn't propping her up, she'd have dropped even further by now.

It is, but for different reasons. 19 trillion dollar debt, record level of voter ignorance, illegals overwhelming the system and taking our jobs (and probably voting), jobs being "outsourced" or "offshored" or whatever the next benign sounding term is, government takeover of healthcare which of course is failing... too many more to list.

I think the media is asking the wrong question regarding the Democrats.

Instead of "Why is Bernie Sanders attracting such big crowds", they should be asking "Why is Hillary even being considered?"

Outside of a demographic "I am a woman" platform, what does she have to offer? Carpetbagged a Senate seat and was a disastrous Secretary of State. If she was a dude, we'd would not be discussing her at all. And we all know it.

yeah, she invented moving to a state to run for office.
seriously, there is plenty to complain about with her.
and no, we don't all know it.
if you took any former senator and sec of state, they would have more of a resume than people like carson or trump, or fiorina.
