The Nevada Democratic Convention unmasked Sanders supporters ...

[salinsky]

... as the petulant juvenile delinquents we expected they are.

They had a collective hissy fit, security was called, and they starting screeching about corruption.

Remember, this was the Nevada DEMOCRATIC Convention, and the Sanders supporters tried to tear it down because they couldn't have their way.

Really delusional, unhinged, and immature behavior.

There was palpable tension between the two camps throughout the day at the Paris Hotel in Las Vegas, with Clinton supporters barely outnumbering those supporting Sanders among the more than 3,400 conventiongoers. Still, a 33-person delegate lead was enough to sway the division of a dozen delegates who were up for grabs Saturday in her favor.

Who would win the majority of those delegates remained uncertain going into Saturday because Sanders was allotted more delegates to the state convention. In April, Sanders had turned out more of his supporters to the county conventions — even though Clinton had won the popular vote in the February caucuses — thus allowing him to send more delegates to the state convention.

Based on the presidential preference of conventiongoers, Clinton won seven delegates Saturday, while Sanders won five between two categories of delegates. Each category — at-large delegates and Pledged Leader and Party Official delegates — had an odd number of delegates, which means a narrow Clinton win gave her the delegate advantage in each category.

***

Several Sanders supporters, however, put together what they called a “minority report” of 64 Sanders supporters they believe were wrongly denied delegate status. According to state party representatives, six of those were eventually allowed as delegates, and the rest were denied delegate or alternate status because either they or their records could not be located or they were not registered Democrats by the May 1 deadline.

Eight Clinton supporters were denied delegate or alternate status for similar reasons, according to the state party.

1. Shameful conduct trying to overturn

The voters with delegates that were not properly registered Democrats. I bet some were not even Nevadans until recently.

[AtomicKitten]

2. In-your-face voter suppression done on behalf of Camp Weathervane tends to make voters cranky.

[salinsky]

4. Disqualifying "delegates" who were not bright enough to properly register ...

... is not "suppression".

It's common sense.

[AtomicKitten]

9. Delegates whose party affiliation was mysteriously changed between the first state convention & now.

It's common knowledge/documented.

[salinsky]

14. Hillary is responsible for that? ...

... the answer for which you are searching is, "no".

[AtomicKitten]

20. Done on her behalf. She benefitted, she's indirectly responsible.

[AgingAmerican]

22. The DNC has full control of primary voter registrations

So, yes...

[salinsky]

25. Good excuse for a riot ...

Nevada's process for sending delegates to the national convention in Philadelphia is among the most complex. When the state caucused in late February, the fourth state on the calendar for the Democratic Party, the results of that process favored Hillary Clinton. Twenty-three of the 35 total bound delegates were given out proportionally in the state's four congressional districts, giving Clinton a delegate lead of 13 to 10. The results of the caucus suggested that after the state convention—which bound the state's seven at-large delegates and five delegates who are elected officials or party leaders—Clinton would end up with a 20-to-15 lead over Bernie Sanders, with Clinton winning one more delegate from the at-large pool (4-to-3) and one more from the party-leader pool (3-to-2) than Sanders.

37. There wasnt a riot

Always lies from camp weather vane

[salinsky]

42. Yeah, just a few chairs thrown, ...

... a few punches thrown, security called, and the lights turned off.

Totally civilized.

[AgingAmerican]

44. No chairs thrown

No punches. Just a tweet from a Hillary supporter

[salinsky]

35. It's a state function

How does the DNC get the state to change voter registrations? In a caucus state I could conceivably see something since it's a party run function, but in primary states the government of the state runs the primary.

3. The group you are talking about stands for nothing and yells at everything.

Truly vile what they did to Boxer. Simply vile.

[NCTraveler]

12. I wouldn't call it provocative.

Giving the benefit of the doubt, which you did not ask for, I would call it an unwillingness to bow down to bullies.

I do see what you are saying. Boxer just doesn't play that way. She can be provocative but it is normally in the face of opposition not in the best interest of progressives. She will not back down. Many view women who do that as being based only in an attempt to be provocative. It is a societal double standard. Boxer doesn't tolerate BS.

As I said, I do think I see what you are saying, I just think Boxer comes from a different cloth. Throughout her career there were a number of times where she could have been more tactful but chose the route of confrontation. It is one of the reasons she is so loved here at DU. We love strong progressive women.

[riversedge]

34. The Sanders crowd started yelling her off the stage-THEN Boxer hit back to the bullies and

I am glad she did. Boxer did not deserve to be yelled at. Hillary supporters did not yell at Nina Turner. It was beyond the pale.

[MariaThinks]

8. interesting perspective. Wouldn't bernie supporters also want Hillary to win over trump?

if not, then who cares.

[Actor]

27. Bernie or bust is for privileged white people

[salinsky]

43. A lot of truth in those eight words ... nt

[MariaThinks]

16. sure, and your 5 whole posts are gospel

[senz]

21. If not, then

you get to live under Trump.

My sister got lucky, married a yuppie
Took him for all he was worth
Now she's a swinger dating a singer
I can't decide which is worse

{Chorus:}
But not me baby, I've got you to save me
Oh yer so bad, best thing I ever had
In a world gone mad, yer so bad

My sister's ex-husband can't get no lovin'
Walks around dog-faced and hurt
Now he's got nothin', head in the oven
I can't decide which is worse

[salinsky]

17. I'm not sweating it ...

... the way I see it, we'll be shed of a lot of infiltrators and that won't effect the outcome a bit.

[MariaThinks]

23. true

[Jackie Wilson Said]

26. Nah, dont need the likes of those who have to be begged for their votes.

[Jackie Wilson Said]

29. Since your days are numbered here, or minutes LOL I will say this

I wish there was a way I could identify people who didnt vote or voted for Drumpf...just so I could walk up to them and peacefully and quitely tell them what assholes they are.

[Jackie Wilson Said]

33. I know what the problem is, GOP trolls who are working DU and elsewhere, they are

the ones who need to be wearing name tags.

The idea that someone who will facilitate the Drumpf presidency, talking about Nazis?

wow, crazy

[MariaThinks]

6. they are unmasked.

[phleshdef]

7. You really need to stop broad brushing supporters of either candidate.

Honestly, this kind of thing shouldn't even be allowed here.

A vocal minority of supporters of ANY candidate can and often do show their asses. Just admit as much and move on instead of engaging in this trollish horse shit.

[nadinbrzezinski]

13. Nixon called

He is actually stunned at how well you stole his law and order talking points. Erlichman also said hi

[One Black Sheep]

15. Pretty offensive

You are basically calling all Bernie supporters some nasty names.

19. How in gawd's name did I forget "thin-skinned"??? ... nt

[imagine2015]

24. So the Bernie Sanders delegates were wearing this mask to cleverly disguise themselves.

[riversedge]

32. You make yourself look foolish posting such rubbish. Shame of you.

[imagine2015]

41. You and Hillary need to get a sense of humor. I wonder what a real Hillary laugh sounds like.

You know .... a natural one .... not a fake laugh.

[riversedge]

30. I think they really showed their true colors with the harassing behavior in CA the week before...

Last Saturday was just a continuation of it. Shame on them

[KingFlorez]

38. I'm starting to wonder if some of these people weren't Republican plants

Calling names and throwing chairs is more something that Trump supporters would do. I think it's possible that Republicans might be planting people to stir up trouble.

[Ferd Berfel]

39. not condoning anything

but people get upset when they're getting raped.

[LadyHawkAZ]

40. Correct That Record!
