true democrats , liberals and progressives made my proud when they WOULDN"T let the

disruptors do their thing.....the protest of the protestors.....!!!! the rogue sanders people can fade back where they came from...and ponder how well their lives will be if trump ever wins...perhaps they don't care about that as it gives them more things to chant against?

... I didn't realize why. I just thought someone had started chanting at an inappropriate moment.

After the third time, I understood WHY they were doing it ... and I was GLAD to hear it.

It's OUR convention and OUR moment to celebrate.

Let the malcontent delegates take their chanting and whining to the STREETS.

... at the appropriate moments. Aside from that, they certainly had dour expressions. Barely a smile was cracked, or maybe it was just an uncomfortable forced-smile when Hillary spoke glowingly about him and the camera zoomed-in on them.

Oh well. It must have been a long night for them, perhaps they were tired.

I'm hopeful that after they have a good rest and re-charge, they'll both be out there working to get Hillary elected.

Knowing the cameras were on him. He looked like the tired old man he was last night.
But he's been awesome on his support of HRC. He accomplished more than he could have dreamed.
