On March 14th of 2016 presidential candidate, Bernie Sanders conducted a rally at the Auditorium Theatre in Chicago. Like most presidential race speeches Sanders tried to persuade the audience to believe in his opinions and get them to vote for him. Coming into this speech Sanders was down in support compared to his competitor Hillary Clinton but, as said before, he was and is still trying to persuade people to support his side.

The whole reason that I went to this speech was because my friends forced me into going. Despite being forced I ended up having a pretty good time and thought that it was an interesting experience.
