Dude, we're adults now. If we want to cuss, we can cuss. I'll be cool with you though because you seem pretty sad and maybe this online stuff is the only thing that gives you a sense of self worth. Enjoy it.

chair throwing, yet in a room filled people and hundreds of devices capable of recording video, there's nothing more than disputed anecdotal evidence.

There's also the fact that no Sanders supporters whatsoever were arrested by the police.

Does not add votes, it would be fraud and we know Sanders supporters would not want to commit fraud. Besides this it takes two thirds vote to over turn the rules. Nope not the establishment, look to the missing delegates, blame them for the problems. The fact there was not enough Sanders delegates to make the two thirds is not the problem of the "establishment" not the Clinton delegates. Facts are facts.

58 Bernie Delegate weren't registered Democrats, so they chose not to show up because their fraud would be exposed after further vetting. Some may have not been Nevadans at all.

the executive committee. Erin is interviewed on the floor of the caucus. She calls out chair person Roberta Lange for her handling of the caucus.

Her father, a well known politician and Hillary supporter was so upset by the way things were handled he tore up his ballot and left:




Also here is a Hillary delegate also speaking out about the handling of the caucus:

Clinton and the establishment Dems don't even need to pull dirty tricks or demonize Sanders or his supporters. Clinton has basically won. I would immensely prefer Sanders be the nominee but numbers are numbers. So why the dirty tricks? Why are they dead set on making every Sanders supporter hate them? Seriously its like they think fear of Trump will be enough to get everybody to vote Clinton no matter what. All the dirty tricks in Nevada changed is the number of Sanders supporters that will vote for Clinton in the general. Remember people, Liberals are loyal to the ideas and policy, not the party.
