Related: About this forumSanders' Aide - try to "take over" the convention, change party rules and continue the "revolution"
This was a coordinated attempt led by the Sanders Campaign to cause chaos at the Nevada Convention and deny the people their vote.
But new audio obtained by CNN shows a senior Sanders aide -- on the eve of the Nevada convention -- encouraging the senator's supporters try to "take over" the convention, change party rules and continue the "revolution" that Sanders has long campaigned on.
"You should not leave," Joan Kato, the national delegates director, told Sanders supporters in a meeting last week at the Rumor Boutique Hotel. "I'm going to repeat that, unless you are told by someone from the campaign ... that you can leave, you should not leave.

(29,191 posts)1. you should not leave until someone from the campaign tells you to
this would be very good advice to prevent shenanigans like telling everyone the convention is over and then going back and sneaking in a new vote (re-opening the convention). Very good advice.
No where is there any mention of "taking over" the convention, but thanks for trying.
