You think there will be riots when Sanders finally suspends campaign?

I don't with the recent protest of the Hillary Clinton campaign especially among his supporters. I hope its peaceful when he suspends and no attacks on Hillary supporters are going to happen because that would be real bad.

Sanders zealots seem to have certain qualities in common with Trump supporters.

And that's going to be Philadelphia at the end of June

That new mayor even resembles Daley a little

In '68 we didn't go to Chicago looking for trouble either

But crap happened

It was later widely ruled a police riot, for what thats worth

I see you did bing. That's an awesome site you found!

55.6 to Bernie's 43.6%

she got 104 to his 81 delegates.

All the results are here.

Hell, Sanders couldn't even get the "Revolution" to come out and vote for him. Why do you think he could get them to come out and riot. All they seem capable of is scaring kids.

The phenomenon has been strikingly different from '08 levels, and turnout has been down across the board. Doesn't sound like much of a revolution to me.

I think there will definitely be turmoil instigated by BS henchmen at the convention.

I also feel HRC will be dogged by the radical left (some BS supporters) during the general election campaign, trying to disrupt her appearances. She will have a double dose from both Trump disruptors and the activist BS supporters. Hope they beef up her Secret Service team.

It's always the vocal trouble makers that make the rest look bad - they'll be the ones. Kinda like the ones that harassed the Hillary supporters in East L.A. They have some deluded notion that people will want to join their cause when they're bullied and harassed, when reality is the opposite.

He is fueled by the BSER'S and is going to try and wreck the train.

And by doing so prove that he is no Democrat!

In the real world? I doubt it.

People who cant motivate themselves down to the ballot box to vote probably aren't going to riot either.
