Washington (CNN)Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid sharply criticized Bernie Sanders' supporters for turning the Nevada Democratic Convention into chaos over the weekend, saying the Vermont senator should not "accept" how his backers behaved.
"I've been dealing with Nevada state conventions for 50 years: To say I was disappointed was an understatement," Reid told CNN in the Capitol on Monday.

"I hold his people accountable, and I'm sure if Bernie found out about it, he would not accept what happened there," Reid said.

Namely, do anything and everything to steal delegates from Hillary. Apparently that includes criminal acts.

...and I think Bernie seriously wants to be a revolutionary leader. He wants to upset our presidential election, and his plan to implement his agenda in Congress is to unleash his throngs of lunatic fringe Bernistas on Congress persons to scare them into enacting his proposals. I am thinking he is losing his grip on reality.

Such a diplomat to give Sanders a way out of the mess he's created.
