MSNBC is talking about the NV chaos NOW

[lunamagica]

So, the story is being discussed all day

[SaschaHM]

1. Watching it on pins and needles...

waiting for Andrea to blame it on Hillary.


They just showed Bernie refusing to respond.... that's low even for him.

[otohara]

3. This Is Not A Peaceful Revolution

unlike those led by real leaders - MLK, Gandhi, Jesus.

Preach anger and division - don't be surprised if your revolution spirals into intimidation, threats, violence.

[KittyWampus]

30. Sanders may have "marched" with MLK, but he didn't get the full message.

[skylucy]

4. Even Andrea is not going to condone what Sanders people are doing. OMG

Sanders looked SO BAD when he walked away. HILLARY 2016

[lunamagica]

8. She didn't she told Ms. Lange she was sorry she (Ms. Lange) was going through this

[Her Sister]

5. What a LEADER this one BS!

[LiberalFighter]

11. I saw that. And it is low. But after knowing more about him.

That is likely par for him.

[lunamagica]

2. Playing th threats made to Roberta Lange

[liberal N proud]

6. Keep the cube rats informed

[lunamagica]

7. They showed a video of Sanders walking away when asked about it... YIKES!

17. He's complacent.

[BlueCaliDem]

21. And made himself thereby complicit.

I am horrified at the level of violent behavior by the Sanders followers in NV. I'm appalled. Why aren't his ardent followers on DU equally appalled by this behavior? All they have to do is turn the tables and put themselves, their leaders, and their campaign heads in Ms. Lange's shoes, and ask themselves, would they just believe this is just desserts?

[peggysue2]

24. They're defending the indefensible

If this were the Hillary people, there would be howls for disqualification. Instead we get but, but you don't understand, Bernie's supporters are angry and frustrated and been treated unfairly, yada, yada. Sanders himself makes some lame excuse about it's really the DNC's fault for not welcoming all the new Bernie bots he's brought to the table.

Well yeah, threatening the Democratic leadership doesn't exactly win over support for Sanders and his bad-tempered crew. This was a leadership moment. Senator Sanders failed.

The facts remain: Hillary Clinton won the Nevada caucus. Having temper tantrums over a handful of delegates make Bernie's supporters look like wild infants. They tried to pull a Cruz maneuver and it didn't work. Then they stamp their feet, yell obscenities and throw chairs. Doesn't help their candidate, only hurts his cause and the legacy he might take away from the primary.

Thank God this contest is almost over. Then Bernie and his bruised ego can go back to Vermont.

31. Anyone finds that clip PLEASE post a link.

I beg you.

[Thinkingabout]

9. Weaver said on New Day Sanders has been very clear people who are supporting the senator should

act in a civil way, looks like he should add this to every speech. Of course, Weaver added his spin.

[SharonClark]

12. Weaver is all spin and repeats Sanders' talking points every chance he gets

[Thinkingabout]

15. This really requires Sanders to start saying this, allowing this to hang any

Longer is against his integrity.

[BlueCaliDem]

22. Bagdad Bob ain't got nuthin' on Weaver. eom

[grossproffit]

18. With a wink and a smile.

[BootinUp]

10. She's emotional... pointing out she does the Party job voluntarily.

[LiberalFighter]

13. What MSNBC and likely other tv media are not doing

is providing details about the Nevada convention.

Like about all of the committees were evenly filled by both campaigns.

That in reality only a few Sanders' delegates were denied. Most of them didn't even show up. Probably because they weren't legitimate. Even the Sanders people couldn't contact them.

They didn't explain the issue about the rules that are suppose to be followed.

[lunamagica]

14. Hillary WON in Feb. They were trying to sabotage the results

SURPRISE, it didn't work

[justiceischeap]

19. I've seen a lot of misinformation about this on Facebook

a lot of people think the DNC is trying to steal Nevada for Clinton. When I try and explain to them that this had nothing to do with the DNC, they go all Faux News on me and proclaim that I'm part of the establishment because what they heard was true and what I'm saying isn't real. Which further bolsters my theory that a lot of Sanders Independent supporters are actually Republicans.

[LiberalFighter]

20. I would have to agree with you.

You should come back at them and say, "Of course I'm part of the establishment." The Democratic Party is an organization which is the definition of an establishment. Just like the Republican Party is an establishment.

[justiceischeap]

25. The thing that really gets my goat about this whole thing

is that Sanders was an Independent until he decided the Democratic Party was a good enough ticket to run for President on. Then, it would appear, he's encouraging his followers to try and destroy the party he's using so he can run for President on an established brand. It's the height of hypocrisy. It's also as if his campaign staff have no ideas the rules of the different primaries/caucuses he's participating in.

Also, in the age of 140 characters, it's harder to get fact over fiction so when I see people misrepresenting the facts, it really burns (Berns?) my butt.

[LiberalFighter]

29. If they use that method of communication they are not concerned about facts.

As for Sanders, he needs to suffer the consequences. Which would require winning enough Senate seats so his support is not needed. Then he can be shunned during the rest of his time in office. Any committee position would not involve any major position. Any access to the VAN would be terminated for him as well as Tad Devine and Jeff Weaver. Not everything would require winning a majority in the Senate.

Then the DNC needs to pass a rule that would prevent this from happening again. That is anyone wanting to run on the Democratic ticket for President would need to have been a declared Democrat for a minimum of 3 to 5 years.

[jmowreader]

32. They may not have understood how the process works

"You have to GO TO LAS VEGAS and attend the convention for your vote to count."

'I can't just vote thirty times on my phone? He'd get thirty votes from me!'

"No, you have to be there in person. You have to be a registered Democrat, and you only get one vote."

'Fuck this party then, I'm going to cancel my registration.'

[revmclaren]

16. This will gain much more coverage as we get closer to the California Primary.

The MSM is beginning to smell what we've been smelling for a long time. They are going to start digging for more.

And Sanders not condemning this loudly is going to be reported as support for the Chaos that is the Sanders campaign now run not by him, but by his most fanatical fans.

[BlueCaliDem]

23. I won't hold my breath, revmclaren. The M$M have their marching orders: protect Sanders against

Hillary Clinton's (inevitable) win, smear her as much as possible in the hope that enough people will be culled into choosing Sanders (who still hasn't received proper vetting!) so that Trump and the billions poised to launch against Sanders in negative ads will defeat him for President Trump.

SCOTUS is on the line and Republicans desperately want to keep it in their claws. A Madame President Clinton will destroy that power-grab-plan and she will get equal and civil rights for all in this country - including restoring the VRA and protecting ObamaCare.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

26. ...and let me guess, the narrative is that HRC's people are stealing votes, right?

Wouldn't surprise me at all.

[lunamagica]

28. Acually, they have said that Hillary won the state in Feb. The reporting has not been favorable to

Sanders camp (so far)

Matthews is reporting on it NOW.

[Fresh_Start]

27. This behavior is a direct result of the Sanders campaign pretense

that he has a path to the nomination.
