The coronation will be Jackbooted

[AgingAmerican]

Not quite what Hillary/DNC expected. This convention should be interesting...

[msongs]

1. they are there because of the behavior of sanders people. nt

[AgingAmerican]

2. They are there because the Nevada Dem party got caught cheating

So they made up the 'Chairs thrown' lie to change the subject

7. Facts matter

* Based on the county convention results, Bernie Sanders had 2,124 delegate slots to the State Convention and Hillary Clinton had 1,722 delegate slots to the State Convention.

* On Saturday at the State Convention, after all of the alternates were seated, Hillary Clinton filled 1,695 of her delegate slots and Bernie Sanders only filled 1,662 at the State Convention — giving Clinton a 33-delegate margin of victory.

* Clinton only had 27 delegate positions vacant on Saturday. Sanders left 462 vacant. Clinton filled 98 percent of her available delegate slots at the State Convention, and Sanders only filled 78 percent of his available delegate slots.

* In plain terms, the Clinton campaign organized and got nearly all of their delegates to the State Convention. The Sanders campaign did not.

* Six of the 64 potential delegates were seated as delegates after investigation.

* The remaining potential delegates were ineligible for two main reasons: 1) They were not registered Democratic voters in Nevada by May 1, 2016, and 2) Their information — such as address, date of birth and name — could not be found or identified, and they did not respond to requests from the party and campaigns to correct it.

* Only eight of the ineligible delegates even attempted to register at the State Convention.

* The so-called “minority report” about these ineligible delegates was not written by the Credentials Committee — it was written by national Sanders campaign staff on site. A member of Sanders’ National Delegate Operations Team drafted and arranged for a member of that committee to attempt to deliver an incendiary report that caused chaos and violence at the convention. It was inaccurate, misleading and subsequently discredited by the Credentials Committee.

* The Credentials Committee, the panel that made decisions on these issues, was co-chaired by supporters of both campaigns and the membership of the committee was also equally divided between supporters of both campaigns. This was done to ensure that the entire process was fair, transparent and accountable for both campaigns and their supporters. The committee worked diligently and cooperatively all day, under incredibly trying circumstances, to be fair and impartial in its work.

9. Video matters

Thanks for playing

[seabeyond]

12. Ah, so you ignore the facts so you can continue with false accusations. No surprise, whatever.

[AgingAmerican]

13. Ignore the video then

That's on you

[beedle]

20. Facts have evidence

Everything you posted there were things CLAIMED but no evidence provided.

And let's keep in mind that the people making this claim are the same people who falsely claimed there was chair throwing and violence (well there was, but it was a Hillary supporter who beat up a couple of Sanders supporters (one of them being a woman.)

[puffy socks]

37. Bernie lost

He lost even more tonight.
Smile and be happy. Hillary's doing great!
We both know if any Hillary supporter picked up a chair and even pretended to throw it (which this guy had to be talked out of it) Most of the Fanatic Sanders supporters would be throwing a conniption. They throw conniptions over stuff they make up on a daily basis," proof" that is innuendo and conjecture.
They don't care about their behavior. Let them rage. Let them eat themselves up. Because that's the only place this s going. HC just won Kentucky and will in all likelihood will win Oregon, either way Sanders' campaign is kaput.

[seabeyond]

45. I do feel good with this win. Oregon though... ahhhh, would make me very happy.

When do we find out about Oregon.

Thanks Puffy.

A story is told. Then when ones looks at the facts? Well, the story is 180. We get that a lot with the Sanders campaign. Had it with Bushco too.

[puffy socks]

46. First polls in Oregon close in ~ 30 min

I'm enjoying a glass of wine .
I hope Oregon is a big win for Hillary.
Here's to winning Oregon ! (fingers crossed)

[seabeyond]

48. Okay. I am game.

[Loudestlib]

58. Fecal matter.

[ThePhilosopher04]

43. Exactly

[Jester Messiah]

3. Not quite.

They are there to ensure that Hillary and co. can cheat & steal without consequence.

[BillZBubb]

5. Keep flingin' the lies msongs. You seem to like doing it.

[insta8er]

6. The real criminals are behind the cops.

[seabeyond]

4. People voted for Clinton. Do not be a sore loser.

[Ferd Berfel]

8. GIvern what we've been seeing lately

I'm buying that less and less

[seabeyond]

10. Sanders supporters were at fault, then blamed Clinton, DNC, Lange and boxer. Facts matter.

* Based on the county convention results, Bernie Sanders had 2,124 delegate slots to the State Convention and Hillary Clinton had 1,722 delegate slots to the State Convention.

* On Saturday at the State Convention, after all of the alternates were seated, Hillary Clinton filled 1,695 of her delegate slots and Bernie Sanders only filled 1,662 at the State Convention — giving Clinton a 33-delegate margin of victory.

* Clinton only had 27 delegate positions vacant on Saturday. Sanders left 462 vacant. Clinton filled 98 percent of her available delegate slots at the State Convention, and Sanders only filled 78 percent of his available delegate slots.

* In plain terms, the Clinton campaign organized and got nearly all of their delegates to the State Convention. The Sanders campaign did not.

* Six of the 64 potential delegates were seated as delegates after investigation.

* The remaining potential delegates were ineligible for two main reasons: 1) They were not registered Democratic voters in Nevada by May 1, 2016, and 2) Their information — such as address, date of birth and name — could not be found or identified, and they did not respond to requests from the party and campaigns to correct it.

[Ferd Berfel]

65. BULLSHIT. This is about swiftboating Bernie and supporters to keep them out of the Convention

Go listen to the 2 eyewitness guests Hartmann had on today get the pod cast.
One of them had her father there (he is a Clinton supporter and a former SUper Delegate) He tore up his ballot and left because he was so disgusted the DNC crap that happened.

THis is about Lying about Bernies supporters negatively enough to 'justify' keeping them out of the convention.
THis is really bullshit

[seabeyond]

66. No, This is about Sanders and his team/supports feeling entitled to "special".

[Ferd Berfel]

67. YOu should listen to Hartmanns show today Before you stick your foot in your mouth

when he had two eye wintnesses on. One was a DNC person.



Hartmann had 2 eye witnesses on the show today

You can get the podcast and hear it.

Basically This is an attempt to swiftboat Bernies supporters to keep them out of the convention

One of the guests is DNC (and a Bernie Supporter) and she told the story of her father, also there, and a Clinton Supporter and a former Super Delegate who tore up his ballot and left because of the Crap that the Nevada Chair and Party was pulling

BOth guests said the convention was rigged and there was no violence.

[seabeyond]

69. Mmmmm, no. I do not listen to opinionated slanted views to draw conclusions. Facts work better for

me.

[Ferd Berfel]

71. Oh Well Done. Now go stick your head back in the sand

[seabeyond]

72. You are listening to agenda/supporter based opinion. I have facts. Who is sticking that head in

the sand to be able to be outraged when Sanders supporters are at fault.

[polly7]

80. You forgot your link.

https://medium.com/@nvdems/the-facts-about-the-nevada-democratic-state-convention-on-saturday-106cc5db3d83#.l0mhy9k8t

Some of the comments below are great! Not everyone is falling for it, thank god.

[seabeyond]

81. Those in their collective tantrum certainly are sticking their fingers in their ears, for sure.

[polly7]

82. They sure are. lmao. nt.

[reformist2]

18. Exactly. Disenfrachising Bernie voters + Padding election results for Hillary = A phony victory.

[AgingAmerican]

11. No, the Nevada Dem party got caught cheating

Don't try to sweep it under the rug

[seabeyond]

15. No they did not. Sanders supporters didn't like results, tried to bully a win. They lost that, too.

[AgingAmerican]

17. It's all on video

You can deny it til you are red in the face, but the whole cheating and attempt at changing the subject afterward was/is being orchestrated by the Hilllary campaign and the DNC.

[apcalc]

27. Cheating my arse

You are grabbing at straws. Ridiculous.

[apcalc]

51. And they don't follow the rules...

Duh

[NCTraveler]

14. I'm excited for the convention.

We will have a great lineup and put together a really solid party platform. Clinton will knock it out of the park.

[senz]

19. Especially the jackboots. Makes the heart go pitty-pat, huh.

If Clinton makes it to the WH, can we expect martial law, too?

[NCTraveler]

21. I remember people saying Obama would institute martial law.

I have a foggy memory but I'm pretty sure every one of them saying it were right wing extremist. First time I remember seeing it promoted here.

[senz]

24. Obama is far, far more benign and peaceful than Hillary.

Surely you know that.

[NCTraveler]

28. Looking a little green.

[senz]

34. Sorry, I don't understand that phrase.

[KittyWampus]

29. At this point it's the Sanders supporters who are wearing jackboots...

[senz]

39. You seem to have the campaigns confused.

It's the other candidate who advocates invasion, occupation, rash interventions that leave chaos and death in their wake, private prisons, minority-assaulting crime laws, bringing young people to heel. You know the one who said ...

[John Poet]

16. Election fraud

should be a hanging offense.

[senz]

23. It should certainly be a punishable offense.

Maybe not quite that extreme.

Right now I'm thinking Karl Rove, Kathleen Harris, and whoever has been doing these things to the 2016 Democratic primaries.

[oasis]

33. Someone told the Nevada Dem Party Chair she should be hung.

According to reports, this was among the many vile comments she received on her cell phone.

[senz]

40. You should have heard what our nation's founders said

about the Brits who tried to deny them their right to elect their representatives.

Election theft makes any warm-blooded patriot ... angry. As it should.

[oasis]

44. One vulnerable volunteer party official = mighty British Empire.

Our victim's number was posted, why not give HER a call and see if she buys it?

[senz]

47. The occupying Brits who housed their soldiers in the colonists'

homes might have considered themselves vulnerable at times.

However, that DNC functionary received nothing but cries of shock and protest after she robbed Nevada Democrats of their votes.

Still, it's never a good idea to cheat people out of their rights.

[oasis]

49. Exactly Jeff Weaver's position. "While threats of violence are to be

firmly condemned, our guy wuz robbed."

Weaver is essentially giving a pass to the bad behavior of Bernie's supporters.

[senz]

50. No, Bernie wasn't robbed. The voters were robbed.

And there was no violence. Only anger.

The bad behavior was on the part of the entities doing the robbing. Don't be blaming the victims for their shock and anger.

[Ed Suspicious]

53. Perfectly put.

[oasis]

59. Debbie Wasserman Schultz agrees with me. "There is No excuse for

resorting to violence because you are frustrated with the process."

[kayakjohnny]

77. There's a ringing endorsement....

[John Poet]

62. I don't say there was fraud in Nevada....

I don't really understand that whole thing.

I just mean in general--- Democrat, or mostly Republican..

At least I thought it was mostly Republican. After this primary season, I'm not really sure.

[kayakjohnny]

76. !

[Odin2005]

22. 1968...

[msanthrope]

74. Nixon. nt

[KittyWampus]

25. They were there because of Sanders supporters and their violent, mob behavior

So the freaking "jackboots" are on Sanders supporters own feet.

And I guess Sanders too, since he can't bring himself to fully condemn such behavior.

[AgingAmerican]

30. They were there because the Nevada Dem party blatantly cheated

So her supporters made up the story about chairs thrown

[KittyWampus]

35. You link to mob behavior from Sanders supporters and think it disproves my point?

SMH

[AgingAmerican]

38. A guy raised a chair then set it back down and gets hugged

Oh the humanity!

No chairs were thrown, no punches were thrown. The whole 'Chairs thrown' claim was a LIE perpetrated by Hillary supporters trying to change the subject because they got caught CHEATING.

[senz]

31. There was no mob, no violence. Only angry, cheated Democratic voters.

There was nothing for Bernie to condemn in his supporters.

There is a lot to condemn in election theft, and I imagine we'll be hearing more about that in the future.

[KittyWampus]

36. Hillary WON Nevada. What part of reality is escaping you? You mad cause Sanders' THUGS

couldn't steal Nevada?

[senz]

41. Winning by cheating is not winning.

[oasis]

61. Jeff Weaver offered up a half baked apology on behalf of Bernie's

campaign. DWS basically threw it back in his face saying essentially, "when you put the word "but"into the apology, you're giving a pass to the bad behavior."

[apcalc]

26. She's got it!

[oldandhappy]

32. they are just standing there

if there had been a ruckus, they would have jumped in.

[Doctor_J]

42. We need armed guards for Hillary in case someone else faints in the back of the room

All those old rich guys who are voting for Bernie can be dangerous

[RandySF]

52. Wasn't this after

The casino, a private establishment, asked everyone to leave? Or did Sanders supporters declare it Priperty of the Bernie People's Brigade?

[AgingAmerican]

55. The cops were already there

All of the claims by Hillary supporters are falling apart.

[Lil Missy]

56. I hope so. I wouldn't like to see thugs try to disrupt the convention. This has to stop.

What a bunch of sore losers.

[MrMickeysMom]

57. Will they be REAL thugs, Bullwinkle?

Or, will they just kick your head in if you get out of your seat and shout, "re-count" for over one minute?

I hear it r e a l l y hurts if your don't cover your head...

[senz]

60. Have you seen this interesting thread, MMM?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/12511986017

It's making sense for me of what happened.

[MrMickeysMom]

63. Yeah, it did with me, too.

I've posted there, so thanks for that, my friend...

[senz]

64. You brought a good, lively vibe to it.

I wish Manny G. were still here; it's the kind of thing he'd enjoy too.

[amborin]

68. K&R

[felix_numinous]

70. Just like W being selected and not elected. He stole the election.

HRC is stealing and not 'winning' this election. I will never say 'win'.

[Yurovsky]

73. Correct... She has had the full support of the party machine...

This was never going to bd left up to the voters. Anyone who thinks the playing field was level is crazy. Yet even with all of her filthy dirty corporate blood money and having her people on the controls of al party operations, she has struggled to put away a senior senator who was a reluctant candidate and who had no control over the Party's operation.

Rather than telling her opponent to stand down, she should reach out and try to rmend fences with progressive leaders and voters. But they are looking to purge us from the party since we refuse to submit to their corporate masters.

[felix_numinous]

75. These people will never

change their tune one molecule to serve the people. They have made that very clear. A tiny bone now and then, lots of showmanship, and the beat goes on and on.

I want to have hope there are enough honest people in the FBI and lawyers who will advocate for all the screwed voters and delegates to just crack the door open enough that Progressives can move this country forward.

[AgingAmerican]

79. Personal enrichment

[libodem]

78. Sorry

But those men are clearly Brownshirts.
