Wow! What a coincidence. Upcoming CA Primary, Boxer Incident in NV

This election cycle has simply been amazing.

So what exactly was a CA elected Democrat doing in NV?

Update: And Nina Turner is NOT an elected Democrat from an upcoming primary state making incendiary comments.

reasonable discussion with some.

Accusations are being thrown toward Hillary and her supporters without any substantiation.

It is a damn if you do and damn if you don't situation. If there is no indictment of Hillary, that will not be accepted by some. They will assume some conspiracy or collusion has occurred. It is really sad and pathetic

presumably so there would be a national figure supporting each side.

That said, Boxer was appallingly stupid, she stepped into a tense situation and added fuel to the fire. Turner, on the other hand, did a brilliant job of speaking to both sides of the room. And before someone brings it up, Turner herself tweeted that she wasn't booed by Bernie supporters.

Sanders rude bullies who tried to drown her out as she spoke. You did not see Hillary fans doing that rudeness to Nina Turner. It was shameful of them to do that.

Wasn't it supposed to be a conclusion to the activities, on a unifying note? She sure started that way. She only broke into the rah rah Hillary shite only after getting flustered by the booing.

....all the time, this is no big scandal.

And there wouldn't have been a "Boxer Incident" in Nevada had the Sanders supporters/delegates learned a little courtesy.

Finally, Nina Turner WOULD have been an elected Democrat had she not lost her last election, an election in which Bill Clinton endorsed her. Funny how that works.
