Where Boxer made the wrong move was starting her speech with the condescending "hush hush Bernie children" we've come to expect from the Hillary crowd.

for her courageous stand against the 2004 election theft. She hasn't always "wowed" me wrt to a number of votes she's taken through the years, but her good ones outnumbered the bad ones.

I would never have dreamed she would put on such a disgusting performance and openly insult Bernie Sanders supporters like this.

Never. She's got nothing to lose now since she's retiring her Senate seat. Her future doesn't depend on progressives votes who put her and kept in that office.

DISGUSTING!

Seems like she's got high stakes in the offing here.

Perhaps she's been tapped on the shoulder for VP position.

By Hook or By Crook eh, Barbara?

Shame on you!

and I base it in what I've observed of Rand supporters over the years, including the ones who invaded DU at times, and what I know about my fellow Sanders supporters here in Meck County. My Sanders voting compatriots don't act viciously, vulgarly, or violently.

So, to me, it is far more likely that they are disruptors - the same ones pushing the Bernie or Bust narrative.

Sun May 15, 2016, 02:49 PM
May 2016

Cheaters are dickish sore losers by definition.

If there's more cheating by HRC at the convention, which seems likely, then who would be surprised if that doesn't go well?

HRC and the Dem establishment don't seem to understand something -- we voters don't take orders from them. They don't pay us, and we don't owe them anything -- not even civility if it is undeserved. So they can just get down off of their high horses right now, because we aren't buying any of it.

As Bernie has already explicitly said, we don't take orders from him either.

What can you expect -- that's easy. There are youtube videos of inside the 1968 Chicago convention. Watch them. Pull the same shit, most likely get the same reaction.

Go that way, expect to lose just like then. But "Watergate 2.0" will still happen.

on the National Convention floor, though, and perhaps those who become national delegates will be a little less abrasive and more inclined to work within the Convention's rules.

I expect, however, that there will be a lot of rancor exhibited outside of the convention venue, in whatever areas are provided for dissent.
