WATCH Chaos During Nevada Democratic Convention Raises Security Concerns


Democratic presidential candidate and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders is feeling the burn on social media after the hashtag #BernieLostMe started trending Wednesday in response to a group of his supporters who became violent at a Nevada political event this weekend.

“#BernieLostMe when he failed to tell the truth about dangerous behavior of his followers in Nevada last weekend,” Twitter user Tara Gold wrote last

Before it was front and center but when Bernie wins its only a hard to find link at the bottom. WV is heralded as a big win for Hillary at .5%??? WTF. And no headline for Bernie winning Oregon by 12%. And the cheeseball pundits call him a cranky old man who wont go away...these people at the networks are disgusting vermin bottom feeders who would sell their soul for a promotion.

StatusPeople.com, the oldest publicly available Twitter-auditing tool, reports that 44 per cent of the former secretary of state’s followers are ‘good’; 15 per cent are ‘fake’; and 41 per cent are ‘inactive,’ meaning that they never tweet or reply to any tweets

by deliberately preying on young people's idealism and naïveté

When his supporters seemed more intent on bringing down the Democrats than Republicans.

when he created a rage-filled, fact-ignoring cult and did all he could to encourage them

when his paranoid Berniebros started telling me I was getting paid for my opinion.

when he lied about issues in Nevada to justify harassment.

when his campaign stopped being for something and just became against someone.

but dissing the Black South whose civil rights struggle he was appropriating sealed it.

Her shameless promoters and Super PACs are better at it than her good friends the Bush Family but so what...still a disgrace and why she is LOSING A GENERATION OF VOTERS. All you smug Clintonites just watch...so shortsighted and pathetic as the old guard clings to power. People arent buying this crap just like purchasing fake Twitter followers wont do anything for the campaign. It's all smoke and mirrors. Trump just had a meeting with Kissinger...Hillary's friend...nothing changes at the top except shuffling the illusion. Do a google search to see where her most Facebook likes come from. Crying wolf isnt going to work. Trump is beating her in the general polls and if that happens we as loyal democrats to the cause and not the person will be screaming for heads to roll.

And just as believable as the two news sources cited.

I expected propaganda from the Republicans. To have misguided Clinton democrats beat the GOP to the punch says to me they are just as power-hungry as Republicans, only for different things.

In the national campaign to smear Sanders supporters as thugs, they have made a good case for independents to vote Republican. And, the smugness and condescension is noted. Sanders supporters certainly know their place now.

He's a cranky fool, unenlightened, with very dangerous views on climate change that must not be allowed to prevail, since their unfortunate application on a wide scale is showing up in the physical atmosphere, if not the political atmosphere, as a disaster.

On the political front: it's becoming increasingly clear that his ego is so inflated that he is willing to work to put an insane racist in the White House.

But as odd as it seems, on the environmental front, his rote ideology would be even worse for humanity.
