I'm not so sure about the response. On the CSPAN feed at the beginning of Sanders' introduction, Jerry Falwell Jr. makes a point of acknowledging his many supporters in the reserved rows at the front who came to LU specifically for his speech. If you watch reactions from the general student pop. sprinkled throughout the bleachers, there are quite a few death stares, vacant expressions and a predominantly blanched reception.
Hell of a speech, though. Good for Sanders.
