Bernie Sanders To Speak at Santa Monica High Monday Night

Through a robo call left on our message machine and perhaps yours, santa monica high school Principal Eva Mayoral has confirmed that Bernie Sanders will be speaking at SamoHi tomorrow (Monday) evening.

"While the program doesn't begin until the evening," Ms. Mayoral says,"folks will start lining up in the afternoon. Therefore, the 4th street gate will be closed all afternoon. Traffic is expected to be more congested than usual," she says.

The call says that the Bernie Sanders campaign "reached out to us and asked if they could pay to use our facilities for the candidate to address an audience on Monday night."

Bernie Sanders is somewhat behind U.S. Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton in the delegate count. On the other hand, Sanders has won 19 of the last 20 statewide primaries, and is expected to handily defeat Clinton in California's June 7th primary.

The event is free and open to all, though that would mean seating to see the Vermont Senator, is not guaranteed.

What will Bernie's slogan be? The former first lady and senator launched her campaign last year under the rallying cry, “I’m With Her.” But that message quickly was eclipsed by Donald Trump’s “Make America Great Again” and Democratic rival Bernie Sanders’ call for political revolution. (Sanders’ slogan is “A Future to Believe In.”)

Clinton then tried to pivot and road-test some anti-Trump slogans after Super Tuesday. Speaking in Miami that night, Clinton sounded the message: “Make America whole.”

She called for “love and kindness,” and a push to “break down barriers” and “build ladders of opportunity.”

Within minutes, Trump was mocking her, asking "what is that all about" and telling supporters: “Make America great again is going to be much better than making America whole again.”

After sticking with those slogans for a brief period, Clinton seems to have moved on. Lately, the campaign has been pushing "Love Trumps Hate" stickers as the candidate weaves in "stronger together."
