despicable lately, reasonable people who have supported Sanders so far are having lots of second thoughts.

Perhaps those second thoughts will affect the remaining primaries.

I know that such actions are ensuring that NO SuperD will be switching from Hillary to Bernie. Not in a million years! No way! No how!

help prevent it from happening at the convention. Bernie actually saw this coming and released a statement last night imploring his supporters to act in a civil manner. It worked on a majority of them, but enough disobeyed to cause this mess. All estimates I've seen have put the disruptive element at less than 100 people. Bernie has over 1,000 delegates there, and they're even booing his own representatives when they are giving their allotted time to speak.

Bernie realizes, too late, that he had a problem with the fringe of his movement. Too late for Nevada, but plenty of time to clean it up for Philly. He can't ignore it anymore. He might not be able to control them, but he can definitely be a lot more careful about who he sends to the Convention.

of Hillary at his rallies and sew his consultant's mouth shut. He can concentrate on trashing Trump. Enough with the conspiracy theories about how unfair the DNC is too. If he doesn't do those things then he is to blame if his nasty little "fans" upend the convention. Sorry for ranting but lately it seems like his nasty rhetoric about Hillary and the DNC has gotten worse, not better. Maybe I am so annoyed it just seems worse than ever. HILLARY 2016.

... a Sanders posted this, justifying his/her decision not to vote for Hillary in the fall:

"Listen I'm one of those Bernie supporter that will not vote for Hillary. But make no mistake, it's not because Trump is a good candidate, he's terrible, I would rather see a Republican destroy the country then Hillary."



I can't even... these people are messed up in the head.
