$168 Million Spent & Bernie Sanders Delegates Worried by Nevada Convention Chaos. #DropOutBernie

[JimDandy]

1. The Right Wing National Review is the original source. No wonder no link.

No more of these disgusting, crappy lies about violence at the NV Convention. This is costing your team big. Just you wait.

[barrow-wight]

6. It looks to me like it's costing your team a lot bigger.

[JimDandy]

11. Ah, so you are one of the "win at any cost people"?

Support a lie as long as your candidate wins.

We know Bernie is not going to be the Dem nominee-there is no cost to us.

But, look out, the cost to Camp Weathervane for this lie and the corruption in NV is coming up faaaaaaaassst...

[BootinUp]

15. I thought this was a Sanders supporter's opinion?

[JimDandy]

17. I am a huge Sanders supporter.

[BootinUp]

19. The OP is about what a Sanders supporter said.... hello!

[JimDandy]

37. I suspect Gerotson said this before it was widely known that the whole 'violence' shtick was a lie.

Clinton is so weak and pathetic a candidate that Brock's only available strategy has been to attack his supporters.

[BootinUp]

38. You are amazing at avoiding the issue. I am in awe. nt

[riversedge]

44. Just because you keep repeating that lie does not make it true.

[Thinkingabout]

2. Good advice, hope he takes it. So far, good advice from Boxer and Durban.

Elizabeth Warren has also given advice.

[kiva]

49. I thought Boxer was still terrified.

Guess she recovered enough to give advice.

[Thinkingabout]

51. Funny when Sanders needed someone to talk to one was Barbara Boxer, another was

Dick Durban, two he could count on for good advice.

[oasis]

3. Always bad optics to have your supporters spinning out of control.

[ladjf]

4. I'm amazed by the huge number of people who are so sure of the political

skills that they feel that they must enlighten Sen Sanders who they feel just doesn't get it.

Mental pygmies are advising a giant.

[apnu]

7. This is a Sanders superdelegate

He needs this guy. Sanders needs to convenience this guy that he's got it covered.

[riversedge]

45. Sanders would be wise to take his advice.

[apnu]

5. Oh Snap!

This is from a Sanders superd? Damn.

[barrow-wight]

8. Even his supporters are starting to realize that his agenda is scorched earth.

Only his most blindly devoted acolytes seem to still be defending him. The people who simply cared about his policies rather than his persona are starting to see the negative tone of his campaign.

[Buddyblazon]

12. Only four days on our site...

Welcome, extremely new person that joined four days ago!

[barrow-wight]

13. Thank you.

I appreciate the kindness. I've been following political stuff for years but this season has got me wanting to comment.

[Buddyblazon]

16. I bet...

Your timing for joining is perfect. Enjoy the primary season.

[barrow-wight]

20. I enjoy everything in which I participate.

I make it a point to.

So thank you again.

[LisaM]

28. Welcome barrow-wight!

Run into Tom Bombadil lately?

[barrow-wight]

47. Not yet!

Lotta trolls though!

[JimDandy]

23. Don't let them be rewarded with ahem...enjoyment.

[floriduck]

34. I'll keep asking the ?? How much per post does the Clinton/Brock team pay? Is it worth it?

[barrow-wight]

46. oh dear.

If I were being paid by Brock, I'd be getting the whole million. But nah, I offer my pearls of wisdom for free.

[BeyondGeography]

9. He's asking Bernie to be more than a pot stirrer

That would be nice.

[KingFlorez]

10. Hard to argue with this

[taught_me_patience]

14. Obviously paid by Brock to ratfuck Bernie

[barrow-wight]

21. haha!

I know, right?

Here a Brock, there a Brock, everywhere a Brock Brock.

That's pretty much the answer to any opinion or response they cannot wrap their heads around:

Brock.

[tonyt53]

27. Goodun!

[nadinbrzezinski]

18. Ah the view of this crap from actual activists is ahem very different

First, If your fiffies got insulted over boos and screams at a GASP I KNOW, Political Convention, what is next safe space talk for the poor political leaders that lead us?

The other one is that to a person, we all feel that voting is something we pretend to, These are activists, and working class.

Oh and this faux outrage is transparent. Some of these folks will be hitting the streets, trust me, this will be far from a safe space, next Friday, when trump comes to town.

[JimDandy]

22. What's the source? Link?

[BeyondGeography]

24. It's (gasp!) from a very well-reported article in the National Review

http://www.nationalreview.com/article/435647/bernie-sanders-delegates-worried-nevada-convention-chaos

Doubtless enough for many to discount the whole thing, and pretend that one of Bernie's SD's isn't going wobbly post-Nevada. Which would be foolish.

[JimDandy]

25. Found it myself.

Just goes to show, the hypocrisy from Camp Weathervane is astronomical, when they cite sources that have even more of an investment in spreading Clinton's lie than Clinton had in starting it.

[BeyondGeography]

26. There are supportive quotes in there as well

A cramped brain is a terrible thing, you know.

[JimDandy]

30. Right wing source... Hypocrisy.... Focus please.

[BeyondGeography]

35. I assume these quotes are ok with you

“That’s what Senator Sanders felt at the moment,” says Dottie Dean, a Sanders delegate from Vermont. “I’m not gonna weigh in on what he said. I just feel that my focus needs to be on electing Democrats, and everybody’s going to have an opinion.”

Dean also refuses to criticize Democratic leaders for their attacks on Sanders, saying she’s unaware of their specific comments on the issue. But some Sanders delegates are going to the mat for the senator. They are accusing the Democratic establishment of manufacturing an artificial crisis out of the chaos in Nevada.

“I think a lot of this is really overblown,” says Rich Cassidy, a Sanders superdelegate from Vermont. “There are millions of people supporting Bernie Sanders, and some of them have extreme views and extreme ways of expressing their views. And you can’t be held accountable for what the most extreme people who happen to be your supporters do.” Cassidy doesn’t give much weight to the Democratic establishment’s outrage over Sanders’s post-Nevada statement.

“To say ‘Oh, he wasn’t forceful enough,’ that just strikes me as a way for people who want to be critical of Bernie Sanders to be critical of Bernie Sanders,” he says. “It’s just an excuse, and I don’t buy it.” “I mean, we’re all Americans,” says Chris Regan, a Sanders delegate from West Virginia. “We all boo the referees when you feel like you’re getting hosed with a bad call. So if people feel like [the Nevada convention] wasn’t a fair procedure, then they have a bad reaction.”

[JimDandy]

39. Of course not! Geez, did YOU even read that?

[BeyondGeography]

40. "Some Sanders delegates are going to the mat for the Senator."

Awful stuff indeed.

[JimDandy]

43. Parsing and analyzing is an important skill to have in a political campaign.

The clue here is, there is not a single Sander's supporter in this thread posting that they think there is anything positive in this article about their candidate. So glad you're a Clinton supporter.

Done kicking this hot mess. Bye.

[Tarc]

36. So, do you claim that Pete Gertonson didn't say this?

[Skwmom]

29. An angry mob? At the convention people were vocally protesting and they consider this

an angry mob? What are we a party of wilting flowers?

The calls and texts to Lange should not have been made. Who knows who made those calls because we have yet to be provided with hard evidence (and no the Rolling Stone hack job was not hard evidence).

I guess the Democrats aren't worried about looking weak on national security. Oh the law of unintended consequences.

[JimDandy]

33. All those police officers lined across the casino stage, just standing there while a mob rioted.

I'm sure we're going to hear any day now that everyone of them have been fired for dereliction of duty.

[The_Casual_Observer]

31. It's exactly what they did to Howard Dean and the War Whoop

Made something out of nothing, however, it's all anybody remembers.

[alcibiades_mystery]

32. The Sanders campaign bizarre attempt to turn super delegates by hinting at fraud

Has gone totally sideways, and now even his own super delegates are blanching at the undemocratic behavior of some of his supporters.

The whole campaign is a clusterfuck.

[Fawke Em]

41. I'll write him and let him know the media lied.

And send him the video proof.

Maybe after he sees the media's played him, his concern will be properly directed.

[trueblue2007]

42. Bernie is speaking nonsense. about as crazy as Trump sometimes.

he sounds like a bitter old man. i don't see him being strong after the election is over.

he is a divider.

[Number23]

52. What few super delegates sanders has..STARTING TO SEE THE REAL

Sanders...and not liking it
