Sen. Bernie Sanders on Thursday urged Nebraskans to "think big, not small" and embrace the transformative change he would bring to the country as president.
Speaking before a crowd that overflowed the Lied Center two days before Nebraska's Democratic presidential caucus, Sanders said he can defeat Republican front-runner Donald Trump and lead a political revolution that heals the injustice of plutocratic privilege and "a rigged economy."
Sanders said recent polling results should dispel any argument that he could not win a general election and he zeroed in on Trump, arguing that in the end "the American people will defeat Trump because love trumps hatred."
A capacity crowd of 2,500, including supporters seated in chairs on the stage, filled the Lied Center. Outside, more than a thousand people were unable to get into the performing arts center after waiting in a line that spread across the University of Nebraska-Lincoln campus for more than six blocks.
