Dem convention host: Sanders supporters better 'behave themselves' when he loses
By Harper Neidig May 08, 2016, 07:00 am

“I think it’s gonna be a great convention, but of course the key to it is the Sanders people. Bernie’s gonna have his name placed in nomination; we’re gonna have a roll call; there’s gonna be a demonstration in support of Bernie; he’s gonna lose the roll call,” he said. “His supporters have to behave and not cause trouble. And I think they will, and I think Sen. Sanders will send them a strong message.”

1. Ed Rendell fires a shot across the BSers bow.

Good for him. It shows that the DNC already has a strategy in place to deal with the intransigence of Sanders and his zealots.

2. I agree

They aren't going to play Sander's game at the convention.

9. How about Rendell for VP? nt

[stopbush]

11. Probably too old, not to mention that he's never been the greatest surrogate

for Ds.

She needs to balance her ticket, probably with a southerner or a person from a winnable swing state, like OH. PA is safe for Ds in Nov.

13. Agree 100%

16. Excellent way to describe that, stop! Yes, it's very encouraging.. it's not anyone is

oblivious to what's going on with his rabid fans. They have a bad rep.

BS lost.. deal with it. If they weren't fed such disingenuous BS all the time they might accept it better.

3. Appears to be SOP

Normal protocol.

4. "and I think Sen. Sanders will send them a strong message." BWAAAAHAHAHAHA!

BS and wife thrive on trying to destroy the Democratic Party. If they'd put as much energy into getting the Green Party or the Communist Party off the ground as they do when attacking the Democratic Party (and are all but silent on the Republican Party, hmmm) then that "third" Party would finally get some life into it and become a viable political Party. Instead, they expend all their energy by doing what they do best: WHINE.

[liberal N proud]

5. Any respect I ever had for BS is gone

I am moving into the despising realm.

He needs to put this to bed now if he has even an ounce of integrity.

If he wants to prove that he has become a Democrat then he needs to do what is good for the Democratic Party.

6. Bernie has been a dem for all of a minute now makes demand

On what our entire platform will be. Why should HRC be forced to campaign on his issues? That's tad and weaver in full force no runner up should dictate.

[George II]

10. That happened with me about a month ago, and it's getting worse by the week.

[BlueMTexpat]

12. Same here. eom

[Thinkingabout]

7. Sanders leadership ability will soon be tested, he should be a leader who can calm the waters,

explain to his supporters the movement they want may be hijacked by their actions, turn possible recruits into hard nosed never agree with their movement.

8. He is expecting the cult to behave like adults?? haaahaa

Expect more of the same from the anti-democrats. Everything they do is for show and free air time, with no substance beyond the "look at me" attention hungry, with a keypad & a YouTube acct.

They can be all the badasses they want to be, holding up their "Free for only $27, Fuck You signs", but its not going to change the outcome one damn bit.

The frathouse mentality is not going to lead a great nation. E V E R!

[Koinos]

14. "Animal House" revisited.

[Cha]

15. Isn't he optimistic about "sanders" and his "message". Better to frame it that way

though.. than say.. BS better send a strong message.

Thank you for this, working!
