We fact checked an entire Bernie Sanders rally speech. The results:
18 true or basically true claims
6 we couldn't render definitive verdicts on
3 false (one of them a think tank's error not discovered until post-speech)

Sanders' three inaccurate claims: 1) Bad data provided by a think tank, which says it's at fault; 2) An exaggeration Sanders has been repeating for a decade, declining to adjust his words despite several fact checks; 3) An inaccurate description of a stat about Trump's tax cuts.
As with the rest of the Democratic candidates, there is no equivalence between a Sanders rally speech and a Trump rally speech.
Trump is averaging 21 false claims per rally for the 19 rallies I've fact checked at CNN, some of them total fabrications.
