Before the big event, more than 200 RNs joined 200 other supporters and marched in Vegas, sending the message to the world that Bernie is the best choice for our country.
Hundreds of nurses attended watch parties around the country to see Bernie in action.
And he did what he does best – spoke truth to power, which in this country means corporate America.
“Congress doesn’t regulate Wall Street. Wall Street regulates Congress,” he said to applause.
There’s no doubt Bernie won.
