Bernie Sanders Just Unleashed on Nevada Convention Disaster
NEWSBernie Sanders Just Unleashed on Nevada Convention DisasterTom Cahill | May 17, 2016
Bernie Sanders has issued a blistering response to last weekend’s chaotic Nevada State Democratic Party convention, denouncing the entire process as illegitimate.
“It is imperative that the Democratic leadership, both nationally and in the states, understand that the political world is changing and that millions of Americans are outraged at establishment politics and establishment economics,” Sanders said in a public statement. “The people of this country want a government which represents all of us, not just the 1 percent, super PACs and wealthy campaign contributors.”
Nevada’s convention was fraught with controversy from the start. Thirty minutes before the convention officially began this past Saturday, Nevada State Democratic Party chair Roberta Lange passed draconian new rules via voice vote as delegates were still trickling in, before all delegates had an opportunity to weigh in on the process.

“Our campaign has held giant rallies all across this country, including in high-crime areas, and there have been zero reports of violence. Our campaign of course believes in non-violent change,” Sanders said. “When we speak of violence, I should add here that months ago, during the Nevada campaign, shots were fired into my campaign office in Nevada and [the] apartment housing complex my campaign staff lived in was broken into and ransacked.”
Sanders also listed the litany of undemocratic processes at the Nevada convention, implying the convention vote that gave Clinton a majority of pledged delegates was fraudulent:
-The chair of the convention announced that the convention rules passed on voice vote, when the vote was a clear no-vote. At the very least, the Chair should have allowed for a headcount.
-The chair allowed its Credentials Committee to en mass rule that 64 delegates were ineligible without offering an opportunity for 58 of them to be heard. That decision enabled the Clinton campaign to end up with a 30-vote majority.
-The chair refused to acknowledge any motions made from the floor or allow votes on them.The chair refused to accept any petitions for amendments to the rules that were properly submitted.

I'm not sure that was "blistering" but I'm glad that he's addressing it.

THAT'S a leader. 
That Nevada clique needed and deserved a blistering. And he did it well, with the facts.
This was a sham and the deniers are fully aware of it. It will be interesting to see how they react if anything unfavorable ever happens to their candidate but I am not holding my breath. It seems the entire primary process is analogous to her winning the lottery in those coin flips!!!
Yeah, that sounds like he thinks violent revenge is okay.
