Bernie Delegate Gets In The Face Of

a lifelong Democrat, Vietnam Veteran, Hispanic, owner and operator of residential patient facilities for paroled adults and teens by providing vocational research, treatment, shelter etc. today at the Denver Democratic County Convention/Assembly about his super-delegate vote for Hillary.

The gentleman is and has been a DNC super-delegate for a while, he was for Hillary in 08 also and did not switch to Obama.

My son was there and filmed this BS supporter berate this man yelling at him, calling him one of the elite and he should switch his vote to Sanders because he personally registered thousands of new Democrats which resulted in millions of votes for Sanders in Colorado. (only 120,000 Democrats participated in this years caucus) He wouldn't let the man speak or leave until he was finished splaning in a very loud and condescending manner. Sadly Sanders supporters think Hispanics and African-American Democrats are low-information-voters and need to be told how wrong they are.

My son will upload it and I will post it when he emails it to me - pretty disgusting stuff.

Some of them have the characteristics that could lead to an angry mob. I hope they don't get violent when he loses.

Sadly, this isn't the first time I've heard of this kind of behavior, and I'm sure it won't be the last.

BS supporters are not there to support their candidates, but to bully HRC supporters. No problem with rational, impassioned supporters advocating for their candidate, but bullying, harassment and ridicule have no place in the process. Why would anyone want to put themselve through that?

we don't see frivolous lawsuits about the behavior. Instead, you have the other side suing the DNC for when they got caught stealing data.
