Sanders supporters attempt to 'Occupy' casino after being asked to leave.

The revolution will begin at the $5 poker tables.



Convention leaders declined to reconsider those 56 delegates, and, spurred by the casino — because the event was already well past its scheduled ending time — adjourned for the day. Sanders supporters refused to concede, remaining in the casino's ballroom after the event had ended. Eventually, casino security and law enforcement officials entered to force the Democrats out of the space, even turning off the lights to get them to depart.

Bernie for president have no part of this and definitely want no part.

THIS is far left extremism acting out for the entire nation to witness, including other, repelled Bernie supporters. usual.

Do not mistake these extremists who are busy sabotaging their own "movement" for the typical Bernie supporter. They are not, and many of this far-left group were destined to leave in disillusionment from the very beginning. Good riddance. Some will undoubtedly go help appall the nation on behalf of Trump and do us some service from there.

spitting in people's faces, frightening their children, disrupting events, requiring police departments to activate their riot squads, covering their own attempted corruption with charges against their victims? Oh, yes, I've seen them, along with much of America by now. Their behavior is inextricably linked with Bernie's name now.

AZMom, in November 225 MILLION people will be eligible to vote. 70 million of them are "nonwhite." You might want to go look at the videos of those people yelling obscenities at others who are just trying to participate in the democratic process. Not all will vote, of course, but you really should not imagine these small groups of out-of-control Bernie zealots represent the many millions who are observing this in amazement from their homes.

Either produce a video and a time stamp showing multiple people "spitting in peoples faces" or be exposed for what you are. The rest of your claims are also nonsense but this one is easily proved or disproved.

A bunch of Sanders delegates left the party by changing their registration after the caucuses. Uf they don't want to be Democrats, why do they want to participate in a Democratic convention?

"and law enforcement officials entered to force the Democrats out of the space, even turning off the lights to get them to depart."

Those aren't Dems. They're fringe left activist cranks who came to cause trouble. Bernie or Trump for them.
