has come back to bite them. Pathetic, it's what happens when your intent was to crash a party because you couldn't even get on the ballot if you hadn't been running on the D ticket.

Karma, baby.

This just makes me think more and more that they won't take no for an answer, not even after Sanders drops out and inevitably endorses Hillary. Will they boo/disrupt him, then?

I know that she's a former state senator from Ohio, but why is she such a prominent figure to the Sanders campaign? Is there more to the story, or is this what constitutes a big catch for Sanders???

he can't get other elected officials and she made a name for herself on MSNBC. Her political career is pretty much dead in the water though. She was a failed statewide candidate and she burned a lot of bridges leaving OH to stump/sell Sanders. She's a persona non grata to the Clintons now and most of the democratic establishment. Maybe she will be able to get a job at Sander's Senate office.

when he dials down the rhetoric and moves toward endorsing Hillary. You can't spend a year claiming that dark forces are out to get you or that every state loss is a conspiracy and expect that hatred you've whipped up to go away. They've sown this and it won't end pretty.

...and we supported Obama wholeheartedly because he won fair and square.

I doubt that Back Bench Bernie or his Shelford like supporters will ever do that. They ARE like teabaggers. I believe that when (or IF) Sanders finally faces reality, the most unreasonable of his supporters will turn on him like ravenous and rabid wolves!

PEACE!

I'm inclined to be of the opinion that how he's viewed in the future will NOT resemble how he views himself in the present.

that the people booing were actually Trump supporters (which makes no sense, they're delegates Bernie put up). At least they're now acknowledging that the behavior is a problem. They've been tacitly endorsing the fringe element of their movement by not condemning that. It'll change now.

Outsiders do not get to be out on the floor with the delegates. They are limited to an area set up for them.

this isn't going to happen at the Dem. Convention this summer. Barbara Boxer is my Senator and I am a big fan of hers, but she has always been a Hillary supporter (Go Barbara!). That would explain why the BSers would be rude and nasty to her. But why would they boo Nina Turner? She is a Sanders supporter. Did she hint that he just might not be the nominee or did she say he wasn't the second coming of the messiah? What gives?

Hmmm... I'd love to but I think these people will show up at the convention because they believe they were cheated out of the nomination. Evidence free, makes no difference. They conjure evidence.

He is suppose to be leading this campaign. Can you imagine if he ran the White House this way. ( And, I hope I don't get banned again for expressing my opinion, hurtful or not).
