1. This is not going away

The total denial that Her supporters are in is amazing.

I wonder if any of them will start waking up.

[Hydra]

4. It's not a matter of waking up

They are invested in their candidate. They NEED any "wins" that come, dirty or not.

They don't even care that this is destroying the party- they believe anyone not with their candidate should not be in the party.

[2banon]

8. They don't even care that this is destroying the party- they believe anyone not with their candidate

should not be in the party.

Bingo. That's their position, loud and clear.

The Fight Continues all the way to the convention and beyond!

[NewImproved Deal]

2. Happily surprised to see some resistance to the thuggery of the Clinton Machine and Las Vegas Mafia

[brush]

6. It's created bullshit. I caucused in Vegas on election day and Clinton supporters outnumbered . . .

Sanders supporters clear as day.

I was there. He lost and last night's results reflect what happened on election day.

The spoiled sport Sanders supporters last night just don't want to accept what happened on election day.

[Chezboo]

7. Were you there for the second round when Sanders won? nt

[brush]

12. You mean at the county convention?

They tried to change the election day results at the county convention.

It was corrected last night at the state convention.

He lost on election day. It was clear as day that Clinton supporters outnumbered Sanders supporters.

[kiva]

14. It's not a one step process.

I'm surprised that, as a delegate, you didn't know that the delegates continue to be counted at a county then the state level in Nevada.

[brush]

16. Again, Clinton delegates clearly outnumbered Sanders delegates on election day

Those clear results were challenged at the county convention but were upheld justly last night at the state convention.

Sanders lost on election day.

It was clear as day.

His sour grapes supporters were unsuccessful last night in their attempt to change that.

And it's silly really, as we're only talking about a swing of 2 or 3 delegates, as if that's going to catch him up with Clinton's near-300 delegate lead.

[kiva]

18. Perhaps you were unaware

that when a Hillary delegate called for a recount at the county convention and that motion was voted on, and defeated by a vote. And yet when a Bernie delegate made exactly the same motion last night Roberta Lange refused to allow a vote. Sour grapes? Nope, just a call for fairness.

[brush]

23. Perhaps you're unaware that the Hotel where the convention was held told them to shut it down . . .

because of the disruptions Sanders supporters were causing.

They had to conclude it with no further votes.

Clinton clearly won on election day and last night was the second time, the first being at the county convention, that Sanders supporters tried to steal it.

They lost on election day. I was there. it was clear.

And last night's protests were silly really as it would be just a swing of 2 or 3 delegates, hardly enough to overcome Clintons near-300 delegate lead.

They really need to get control of their tempers. They lost on election day.

[kiva]

31. If you had been at the Paris you would know that

we were told after 9pm that the time that had been paid for by the Democratic State party had ended - the convention was supposed to end at 6pm - and that the executive committee was negotiating with the Paris to extend our time.

If you had been at the county convention you would have been aware that a Hillary delegate made a motion to do a recount and the vote was allowed to take place.

Since you not in either place, I don't understand why anyone should take your opinions as fact

[brush]

34. Were they not asked to shut it down because of the disruptions?

And I was there on election day where Clinton supporters clearly outnumbered Sanders supporters.

I've been following John Ralston's twitter feed as well. I assume you know who he is. He faults the Sanders supporters disruptions.

It's silly really as it's only a 2 or 3 delegate swing, hardly enough to make up her near-300 delegate lead.

They need to get over themselves.

He lost on election day.

[kiva]

36. We were told that the Paris had informed the committee

that their rental time had expired. I have since read that the hotel security informed the executive committee that they couldn't guarantee security and that's why Metro was called - however, the executive committee is the one floating this explanation and, since their rule-breaking behavior is at the root of the problem, their credibility isn't exactly the highest.

And yes, I know who Jon Ralston is - I've liked much of what he's written, but it doesn't mean I always agree with him.

Finally, why do you insist on coming back to the count on the initial caucus day? If that was the final, undisputed count, there would be no need for a county or state convention delegates.

[Doremus]

33. Got a link to back that up?

Were you a witness to this conversation you say took place between the hotel and convention leaders? Are you a member of Dem leadership?

None of the above and your claim is just so much trollishness.

[tokenlib]

24. The BS is what your state party chair did last night..

..she ignored voice votes, motions from the floor, acted as a political machine thug and simply did whatever she wanted to. And let's not go into the shit pulled by Harry Reid on electon day. Shutting down a convention against the rules before business concluded and calling those upset "spoiled sports" is a bit unfair.

[brush]

25. The hotel where the convention was held told them to shut it down because of the Sanders . . .

supporters disruptions. No further votes could be held.

They lost on election day. The disruptions were just an attempt to change Clinton's election day win.

[grasswire]

28. please provide some documentation of your assertion.

A statement from the hotel? Video of this conversation? Something?

[kiva]

32. They can't.

The convention was scheduled to end at 6pm and the Paris told the executive committee at some point that the rental time had expired. I don't know the exact time, but we were informed some time after 9pm that the committee was negotiating with the hotel to extend the time.

[aspirant]

3. "Reinstate the 58"

[AzDar]

5. ...

[COLGATE4]

29. That's really cute. Why, it even rhymes!

[Marrah_G]

9. The election shenanigans are going to backfire on them

The more they do these things the less likely I am to vote in Nov. if she is the nominee.

[Jitter65]

11. Are you talinking about the shennigans of the people who did not register in time or change

their party in time to vote for Bernie?

[CorporatistNation]

13. Ya Thinkkkk These People Are In A BUBBLE! Winning By Such Means Is NOT WINNING! Anyone Here Play

GOLF? A "footwedge" is not a club in the bag! Mis-remembering how many strokes you took to put the ball in the hole ... Does NOT WIN The Hole!

[nadinbrzezinski]

10. 1968...Philadelphia will be a hoot

But the top tier of the machine is still in denial mode. Looked at videos and all this is looking ugly

[Henhouse]

15. From your article.. People who were not registered as Dems 14 days ago are disqualified...

The Nevada Democratic Party said that 58 Sanders supporters were denied because they either were not registered Democrat voters by May 1 or their information (address, date of birth, name, etc.) could not be verfied.

[snort]

22. Interesting how people who were otherwise very involved

with the process could go so totally derp over such a basic rule. It's nearly impossible to believe.

[AzDar]

35. Yeah. That's happened MANY, MANY times during this Primary... commonly known as a PURGE.

[reformist2]

17. The Dem Establishment is basically endorsing restrictive Republican registration and voter ID laws.

If it's OK to do it to people coming to your convention, or primary for that matter (I'm looking at you, NY) why isn't it OK for the general election?

[CreekDog]

19. Nonsense, the requirement is to act as a delegate

or didn't you know that has a higher standard?

[reformist2]

21. Maybe we should hold all voters to that "higher standard."

[pdsimdars]

20. So, is someone going to post the press release when Hillary chastizes them for that?

I mean, surely she will do that, right?

[Buzz cook]

26. Lack of preperation is a Sanders hallmark. nt

27. Here's the Historic Moment when Democratic Party Destroyed Itself:

Listen to their anger - this was a damn crime!

Roberta Lange: Makes a motion. Seconds her own motion. Passes her motion. Runs off the stage. Then the police is called in and everyone is forced to leave or get arrested otherwise.

Sorry - I don't know how to directly post videos from twitter

[COLGATE4]

30. Yep. I imagine history books will be full of it. "The Day the Democratic

Party Destroyed Itself". I can see it now.
