Very very sad audience reaction at Bernies

[youceyec]

When Clinton mentioned BS tonight, her crowd CHEERED LOUDLY. When BS mentioned Hillary, crowd was nasty and BOOOED LOUDLY. Respect for all clearly is not something Bernie or his supporters believe in.

This my friends, is more evidence I made the right choice. Proudly: #ImWithHer

[JDPriestly]

1. We who prefer Bernie generally don't like Hillary.

It's just the way it is. No one can "make" someone else like a person. It's visceral. It's just the way it is.

Those who voted for Hillary knew from the get-go that Bernie voters did not and do not like her.

Now, in my opinion, it is up to Hillary to win the support of Bernie voters. No one has an obligation to like this person or that, not even Hillary.

Only Hillary can change the reality that Bernie voters for the most part, including even those who are willing to vote for her, really do not like her and have good reasons in their minds for disliking and distrusting her.

This is Hillary's challenge.

Bernie voters are not bad people just because they don't like Hillary.

Dealing with this is a test for Hillary.

[riversedge]

4. Booing is rude, bullying behavior. Shame on them and for Bernie to encourage it.

[Silver_Witch]

13. Oh bullshit. Booing is not bullying....

Please - she is a grown woman and so am I - get over it.

[Demsrule86]

116. It is rude behavior and immature.

In my opinion, Bernie lost California partly because of the way Sen. Boxer and Sen. Feinstein were treated by Bernie supporters.

[JDPriestly]

25. We boo lots at Bernie rallies. We boo against the Republican family values.

We boo against Trump.

Booing is human behavior and expression. You may perceive it as rude and bullying if you are on the receiving end of it. But it does not hurt anyone. It's just booing. It's just sound. It's just free expression.

Hillary now has the challenge of trying to win the support of Bernie supporters who do not like her.

Whether she can do that may decide the outcome of the November election. It's her problem now that she thinks she has the nomination.

And indeed, whether she really does have the nomination may depend i great part on whether and how she can endear herself to Bernie supporters. Thus far, she has failed miserably at that task.

This is not like some primaries in which the supporters of both candidates will willingly support whatever candidate wins the nomination. Bernie supporters, many, many Bernie supporters, really do not like Hillary.

Hillary and her supporters can chastise, chide and scold Bernie supporters all they want to about this fact, but that will not change the feelings of the Bernie supporters.

So now Hillary and her supporters have to figure out how to win over Bernie supporters. Not an easy job.

And there is still the possibility that Bernie will win the nomination. Hillary has a lot of problems. Trump started in on her today. His words were really ugly. If Hillary cannot win Bernie supporters over, it is possible that the nomination will not be hers.

[PJMcK]

70. You've said it well

You're right, JDPriestly, that Secretary Clinton needs to reach out to Senator Sanders' supporters to mend the fences and bring all Democrats together. That's her first challenge. Then she needs to lead the Democrats to victory against the Republicans.

I believe she can achieve these goals.

Vote a straight Democratic ticket!

[CrowCityDem]

104. "Whether she really does have the nomination..."

Right there, you make it impossible to win you over. You're denying reality. She does have the nomination.

[Nedsdag]

109. It's called freedom of speech.

Thank you.

[AgingAmerican]

121. No it isn't, especially at a political rally

[Scootaloo]

138. If she's so delicate that a couple people booing far away from her harms her...

Then how in the world is she going to handle the Republicans?

Do you have a presidential candidate, or an antique porcelain doll in a hermetically sealed case? Figure it out before November.

[joshcryer]

12. Yes, Sanders is the anti Clinton.

A lot of Sanders support is a mile wide and inch deep.

[merrily]

54. I'm glad you never tire of posting that meme. Even though the Hillary

people put it out while you were still a Sanders's supporter, it seems to have stuck with you. Good going!

[joshcryer]

64. I remain a Sanders supporter.

I see no contradiction. It's the faux anti-Clinton "Sanders supporters" who only support him because ... he's anti-Clinton. That's why the mere mention of Clinton's name is boo-worthy for them.

Sanders didn't create this beast, Weaver and Devine did. And they aren't going to be able to put it in a pandoras box. It's going to be up to Sanders and he'll feel like a lot of bridges are burnt, but it won't be his fault.

[merrily]

67. You know we can all see your posts, right?

[Recursion]

75. You know several of us Sanders supporters find the "movement" kind of intolerable?

joshcryer and I are not the only ones.

[merrily]

83. And that has what to do with not supporting the candidate you claim to support?

Besides, you at least have the excuse that you were an O'Malley supporter early on. And, by the time you felt you had to switch to Sanders because you supposedly thought him more electible than Hillary, you saw the terrible, terrible behavior of the Obama Boys Bernie Bros and were so totally turned off you could not bring yourself to post in support of Sanders.

Josh, however, was supposedly a Sanders supporter from the off, before Sanders even announced. I think he was claiming that maybe as far back as 2014.

But, I'm sure Josh will appreciate your jumping in to defend him.

[Samantha]

62. That is not true

You will be surprised at what the future holds as a result of the Sanders campaign.

Sam

[joshcryer]

65. The Sanders campaign has achieved great things.

In spite of the anti-Clinton hordes it has attracted.

[merrily]

86. +1

[JI7]

71. and anti obama and anti dem party

and these are mostly NOT the younger/millenials either.

they are ones who do this just about every election.

[MFM008]

26. Politics: your not doing it right

[Matt_in_STL]

74. Neither are you as you obviously don't understand the fable of sour grapes

Because it doesn't apply here at all.

[Lil Missy]

125. Oh, yes it does apply here. n/t

[Matt_in_STL]

141. No, it really doesn't

In the fable, the fox does not get the grapes and tries to push off his disappointment by saying "Those grapes were probably sour anyway" as a way of saying he didn't really want the grapes.

In this case, Bernie does want to be the President and nobody is saying the Presidency is bad (sour). Misuse of fable.

[RobertEarl]

30. But

The Hillary people have great respect for the Bernie voters.

I saw it in the OP, it must be true?

[upaloopa]

53. Screw that "Hillary has to win you". You hate her. Go away and sit out the general with your

narcissistic ego

[Deuce]

59. Yep...

[Haveadream]

57. If no one can "make" someone like a person

then giving Hillary "tests" to see if she can do it is a losing enterprise. Especially if it is "visceral" and "the way it is". Nothing she can say will work because she will be accused of lying or being phony.

As far as testing Hillary to see if she can deal with it (which sounds like a very creepy thing to want to do) she's proven herself to be good at handling haters for a long time.

[That Guy 888]

77. That's true. Which is why I find the Clinton people who worry about Sanders supporters very strange.

I didn't think much of the p.u.m.a.s and didn't feel like wasting my time to convert them. It's strange to see some of the weirdest posts from Clinton supporters worrying about boos.

I personally don't see how Clinton can win me over, and don't expect her to try. To me, she is a very divisive campaigner, a neo-con, and while not necessarily a phony, she is a politician who doesn't realize how much having video capable phones undermines pandering to audiences.

[bigdarryl]

73. No one can explain to me why Sanders supporters hate

Mrs.CLinton with a passion as they do.They hate her more than they hate republicans who hate all democrsts its mind boggling.

[djean111]

103. I hate war and fracking and cluster bombs and the TPP and means-testing Social Security

and increasing H-1B visas and cluster bombs and saying no to single payer and yes to bloody regime change and interventions and less Wall Street regulations. Hillary proudly stands FOR those things. Third Way neocon hawk. Oh, and she lies. (waves to alerters). These are things that are not good for actual people.

Why the fuck is that so hard to understand? I don't give a crap about Hillary as a person, although I think her husband is a sleazeball and would not invite them over for dinner. Yes, I know they don't care.

Anyone who hangs around with Kissinger and Pete Peterson, and espouses their policies of war and slashing of social programs, is a person I cannot support or vote for. If you do not understand that, I feel sorry for you.

[farleftlib]

124. ^^THIS^^

She chose a polarizing path and now she has to walk it. Too bad about a few boos along the way.

[Marrah_G]

112. She is a corporatist.

I don't hate her but I don't support her bid for the presidency.

I think your attempt to say they hate her more then republicans is disingenuous at worst and misguided at best.

[bigdarryl]

114. I don't think so I'm 57 years old and follow campaigns probably more than a lot

Of youngsters on this site I've never seen a democratic party nominee hated by the far left as Hillary has.It has nothing to do with her being for trade and by the way most Americans believe in trade agreements it's only a issue with some on the left

[Florencenj2point0]

134. ha ha ha

what is a corporatist? No such thing

[rjsquirrel]

84. Misogyny eom

[TeacherB87]

102. As a Hillary supporter, I agree.

And I think Bernie's meeting with Obama is partly about this. How can durable progressive principles be infused into the platform, the party, and the policy efforts from future Presidnrt Clinton. I hope she rises to the occasion.

[democrattotheend]

111. I'm a Bernie supporter and I don't dislike her

I am very ambivalent about her. There are some things I really like and some things I really don't. If I had been there I would not have booed.

[Florencenj2point0]

129. not in this life time

it if up to you to decide what is the right thing to do for those people you claim to care about, the poor and downtrodden. If you think that is enabling tRump then you have some issues.
Hillary supporters just have more class and we are not whiny-assed babies, that is the difference. Plus it is easier to be the winners. I get that. Sux to be you.

[Joe the Revelator]

2. I don't know how many times I've told you guys that you're losing the left of the party

Either you want Hillary to succeed, or you want the party and progressiveness to succeed. It would appear you can't have both.

[msongs]

6. just your opinion. nt

[BreakfastClub]

7. Hillary won. That's how elections are. Someone wins and someone loses. Bernie lost.

How you lose reveals a lot about your character.

[Joe the Revelator]

10. and his supporters are free to feel how they feel. They aren't pledged to anyone

You guys should know all about that.

[BreakfastClub]

23. Sure, they can feel however they want. Losing is a part of life, and everyone deals with it

in their own way. How you deal with it does say something about you though.

[JDPriestly]

29. But what did Hillary win?

She won a majority of votes of Democrats in the primaries thus far.

But she is not winning the support of Bernie supporters. Unless she figures out how to do that, her supposed win of the nomination (and that is not won until July 25) is not good enough to win in November.

This is Hillary's problem. We shall see how good she is at solving this problem. I am going to wait and see. Should be an interesting show to watch. Hillary trying to win over Bernie supporters. Hmmmmmmm!

[Demsrule86]

117. I think we will win

Some of the Bernie supporters are first-time voters who won't vote...well we won without them before...some are Trump supporters who never intended to vote for any Democrat and most of the real Dems involved will vote for the Democratic nominee.

[Florencenj2point0]

135. she is winning the majority of Bernie voters

they have been polled and they have said they will vote for her.

http://www.mcclatchydc.com/news/politics-government/election/article70202867.html

86% will vote for Hillary! read it and weep! <------ Hillary and Bernie peeps except the dead-enders.

[Florencenj2point0]

136. Come on , Join us

beating tRump is going to be FUN!

[LuvLoogie]

32. You have to work harder for longer to beat the hardest working woman in American politics.

The Left either needs to find a backing billionaire (see the Tea Party), or get a long game. Right now that means joining the fight and forming alliances and working relationships within the party.

Nothing succeeds like winning. Go Blue or go home.

[forjusticethunders]

78. The "Left" doesn't care about winning

Only looking good. That's probably has something to do with the fact that the professional "Left" trends richer and whiter than the American population.

[Florencenj2point0]

137. hardest working PERSON

but yes, you are right!

[LuvLoogie]

140. I thought about that, but I couldn't deny Barack equal footing.

I try not to deal with hypotheticals, but I do think that Barack and Hilary are equals, though their experiences and obstacles have been different and they have different perspectives and approaches.

I think people should embrace the fact that Hilary is a woman and not negate the importance of that perspective given the human experience and as it applies in power, leadership and political roles.

[bigdarryl]

115. What the left has to realize is the democratic Party is not going to be a completely left party

It's a party that has different fractions

[djean111]

132. The left has come to realize that there really is no room in the Democratic Party for them.

When things the party seems to stand for - like Hillary's stances - really sound more like the GOP? Time to go.
When the real feeling about the Left, IMO, is Rahm sneering that we are retards and where else we gonna go? Which, by the way, is pretty much the sentiment of Hillary's supporters here, , and the DNC. Okay, maybe some of us will just find another place to go.

A tent that is okay with Rick Warren and war and fracking and cluster bombs, etc., is not a tent - it is just an open-air corral.

Some of us cattle refuse to go down the chute. That's all that is happening. The Party has been drifting to the right, pulled by the Third Way and Wall Street, and some of us do not want to go there. Simple as that.

[BreakfastClub]

3. Yep, Hillary's crowds have always been respectful to Sanders. Too bad Sander's people don't

have that kind of class.

[JudyM]

33. Hillary's "crowd" has been anything but. Stacking the deck at every step. Not keeping her word.

On and on, and it matters. Fairness matters quite a bit to some. To others, not so much.

[Live and Learn]

5. Lots of people don't appreciate Hillary's policies and won't vote for her.

It is not news.

[uponit7771]

8. 3.5 million more people appreciate her policies more than Sanders and don't whine about it

[Live and Learn]

16. You are the one I don't expect to hear whining when she tanks the economy and climate change worsens

Oh yeah, I won't be able to hear you anyway.

[uponit7771]

28. Republicans think Obama tanked the economy too, they don't live on Earth either

[Live and Learn]

35. Nope, the Clintons tanked it and will make it even worse, given a chance.

Even Obama couldn't really bring it back.

[dchill]

45. He tanked mine.

Can't help believing he tanked millions of other "middle class" economies, as well. I got bamboozled. I fell for the Okeydoke. I'm a progressive, by the way, not a Republican. I've been a member here for 12 years, and watched it degrade gradually to a haven for corporate apologists. Congratulations.

[JDPriestly]

34. Better hope that is enough to win the election for her.

Unless she figures out a way to earn the votes of Bernie supporters.

I don't think she can do that.

[bonemachine]

128. 3.5 million people...

Or, to put it another way, roughly 1% of the population.

[uponit7771]

133. That's a GE number, the fact that sanders camp refuses to understand the difference is gob smacking

[youceyec]

14. Same is True about

Clinton supporters towards Sanders. We still respect him though. Difference does not mean bad.

[Live and Learn]

20. Bull. nt

[LuvLoogie]

44. Hillary Clinton is better at forming working alliances and sustaining that effort over the long term

It is surprising (or not) that "ratfucking and tricks" so easily besting the morally and intellectually superior is given as an excuse.

[MohRokTah]

11. They leave the party no other choice but to move to the right.

This is the only choice to be made when the Left declares they will sit it out.

[Silver_Witch]

18. It has been moving to the right for a very long time.

Sadly true and very frustrating.

[MohRokTah]

22. The left has been very unreliable for a very long time.

Sadly true and very frustrating.

[Live and Learn]

21. Go ahead and enjoy what you get. nt

[JDPriestly]

38. It is because the Party lead by the Clintons has moved to the right

that it will be so difficult for Hillary to win the support and votes of Bernie supporters.

It is a difficult problem for her.

[grasswire]

49. LOLOL

That is some stupid shit.

[MohRokTah]

50. It's been happening since he 1976 election.

It got worse after the LEft went for Nader in 2000.

The Left has become the most unreliable voting block in history.

And they have declared, they will sit out 2016. I take them at their word.

[LibDemAlways]

51. The left sits it out because they are not respected by the

corporate powers that control the party. Until those on the left have more than a token seat at the table, nothing will change. Hillary, however, cannot win without a sizable number of Bernie voters. If she doesn't find a sincere way to reach out to them and bring them over, she's toast. The Republicans will unite and take many Independents along. Hillary is not well liked in the world outside the corporate wing of the Democratic Party. That has to change, and soon, or the history books will be referencing President Trump.

[MohRokTah]

52. The left sits it out because they are whiny babies.

Then, when the party has no other choice but to move right, they become even bigger whiny babies over the mess they themselves made.

Bernie or Bust forces the party right, just like Nader forced the party right after 2000.

It's self defeating selfishness by whiny babies.

[LibDemAlways]

55. Apparently you are not capable of discussing

this issue without redorting to name calling. Perhaps that's another reason why Bernie supporters dislike Hilkary supporters so much. Grow up.

[MohRokTah]

56. Apparently the truth of the matter hurts.

Whiny babies sit out elections because their feelings got hurt in a primary.

[merrily]

88. Actually, the left does not sit out at all. That has been debunked time and again on DU.

[Warren DeMontague]

63. Yes, what an excellent basis upon which to make substantive policy decisions

"someone boooed!"

derp

[workinclasszero]

15. Sounded like a mob brainwashed by right wing propaganda

to me.

[leftinportland]

39. Maybe they all share an animal lust for power

an intervention may be in order...

[leftinportland]

46. Own it

[geek tragedy]

17. They're hurting.

Can't just turn those feelings off like a light switch.

[Democrats Ascendant]

19. I expected it, not because his supporters suck,

but because there really needs to be some transition and time. I remember '08 very well. Still, I'm disappointed that Sanders allowed it to go on so long.

[RobertEarl]

36. It's still going!

You'll come to love it.

[JDPriestly]

42. Hillary's campaign went on this long and there was almost no difference

between Hillary's and Obama's views, support and campaigns.

There is a big difference, a fundamental philosophical difference between the Sanders and Clinton campaigns. That is going to be Hillary's problem going forward.

This is not at all like 2008.

[riversedge]

24. Kick

[youceyec]

27. IT IS

Bernies duty to tell his voters to be respectful. Obama even used to say "Vote, Dont Boo"...when talking about Republicans! Bernie can't even say that in support of the first female democratic nominee. Its wrong.

Anger is a net negative when you let it consume you.

And just like Hillary and every other primary loser before her went on to support nominee, Bernie has to do same. If he doesn't and Trump wins, it will be Bernies fault.

[RobertEarl]

41. It's not over

On to Philly!

[33taw]

68. What do you think will happen in Philly?

[That Guy 888]

82. LOL Sanders can say what he likes.

I thought Clinton had gone pretty low in 2008, I thought she would have learned her lesson about dividing the party. This time around she went even lower.

Imagine if it were reversed and Sanders was winning. Imagine that Sanders had spent a lot of time sending out surrogates to say that you only supported Clinton because you were: sexist, racist, homophobic, an elitist who will be fine if republicans get into office, are too interested in "purity", have unrealistic goals(but Sanders would still try to poach them and say he thought of them first) and on and on. Then after broad-brushing you with political insults, Sanders just assumes that it's water under the bridge, doesn't address the excesses of his campaign's attacks and expects you to be dutiful chattel and support the victor.

No Democratic Presidential nominee has won Texas for 40 years, unless it's in play, I will vote for whoever I feel like. I will support down-ticket Dems.

[merrily]

31. What a coincidence! #ShesWithHerToo!

[Beacool]

37. I noticed that too.

Hillary's crowd cheered when Sanders was mentioned, while Sanders' were boorish and booed.

Poor form. In life one must learn to deal with disappointment.

[JDPriestly]

47. No voter has to vote for a candidate.

Hillary is going to have to win the votes of Sanders' voters if she thinks she is going to win in November.

We who support Bernie are supporting a movement. Hillary will have to deal with us and our movement. That's the way these things work.

This is a democracy, not a dictatorship. Hillary can't just say, "I won. Now do as I say." She has a big challenge on her hands: winning Bernie voters.

Unless, of course, she thinks she can win in November with Republican cross-over voters.

In that case, she should simply encourage Bernie to run on a third-party ticket and say goodbye to Bernie voters for good. That is an alternative for her.

This is very different from the 2008 primary. Bernie is much more different in his philosophy, his campaign and his policy proposals from Hillary than Hillary was from Obama.

I don't know whether Hillary can deal with this challenge. We shall see. There is also the chance that Bernie will be the nominee. There is still quite a while before the Convention. A lot can happen in that time.

[stevenleser]

81. Has nothing to do with who you vote for. You either have grace or you dont.

Beacool didnt mention who Sanders voters were going to vote for, it was about behavior and attitude.

[glowing]

40. Really, lol. Most thought he was suspending..

I guess he just doesn't believe suspending those ideals are what Anerica needs. If Hillary is smart, she'd let the guy keep on fighting agains Trump. Eventually, the party will come together... But take a clue, grab ahold of these ideas and push your candidate to embrace them. Believe me a billionaire doesn't need an extra billion for anything; especially when kids are starving in America!

[HarmonyRockets]

48. As a Bernie supporter

I thought it was embarrassing.

[Jitter65]

58. And it wasn't the first time. Probably not the last time. How Bernie handled it says more about him

than his rude supporters.

[QC]

60. Gotta love it--someone with 8 hidden posts complaining

about other people being rude.

[merrily]

87. +1

[dreamnightwind]

61. Bernie is on the people's side

Hillary is an astroturf candidate backed by large corporations, and she and her corporate backers have used every trick in the book and invented some new ones to win this nomination against an excellent populist on the left, the first serious run from the left I've seen in my lifetime. What makes anyone think Bernie's supporters would have positive feelings, or even respect, for Hillary Clinton?

I realize there are some people here who are happy to support either person. But for many Bernie supporters, it's not that way at all, we've never supported Hillary, and we're sick and tired of being triangulated into the corner of supporting corporatist Democrats or enabling even worse Republicans. Yet here we are again.

This time is different, it really is, we are awakened and will not stop. The Bernie primary run was a great catalyst. We'll see where this movement goes from here. We love Bernie, and at the same time, it was never about him, it is about all of us. Either we get the Democratic Party to start supporting candidates who refuse corporate money, or we build a new party.

[uponit7771]

94. Which "peoples"?! Surely not those in the "southern states" where they admitted NOT competing in

[okasha]

118. Women, people of color, LGBT's and union members

are not "AstroTurf"

They are the Democratic Party's base. Senator Sanders failed to win their support, and he lost. It's that simple.

[ashtonelijah]

66. So-called progressives, booing Hillary on the very night she made history for women

It made me cringe. I could even see Bernie cringing. He looked for a moment like he wanted to tell them to stop, but then he just continued his speech. He could've really had a moment there if he'd stood against that vulgar display of hatred. He could've restored a lot of the respect I had that has eroded over this primary season. So disappointing. I miss the old Bernie.

[auntpurl]

106. This is unnecessary. And it's not helping Hillary.

As a Hillary supporter, I strongly disagree with this post and urge people to use more civil language.

[bonemachine]

131. it does however

Provide a little balance to the claim that it's all Sanders supporters who are poorly behaved

[QC]

69. Frankly, I think it's worse to spend a solid year constantly

accusing a decent person of being a racist, homophobe, misogynist, grifter, and so on (not to mention the open anti-Semitism that some have engaged in) than it is for some people somewhere to boo someone, but I guess we all have our own moral principles.

I just happen to think that bearing false witness is pretty bad.

[merrily]

90. +1 OMG +1

I just happen to think that bearing false witness is pretty bad.

So are statements that would be libelous, if Sanders were not a public figure.

As bad or worse? Corruption.

[SwampG8r]

91. That she did that to such an honest man is why she lost my vote.

Actually its that it was done with such joy that creates my disgust.

[QC]

100. It's the same kind of campaign she ran against Obama,

but many here have forgotten that. Amazing how flexible some people's consciences are.

[uponit7771]

95. Please link and quote HRC doing any of that? tia

[farleftlib]

126. +1,000,000

She threw shade at him for the good he's done that she didn't have the courage or ethics to do.

That's real hate. A "boo" can't compare to the hatchet job she tried to do on his record.

[larkrake]

72. she hasnt earned respect, now she has to try

[Jack Bone]

76. Gotta love a good crowd!

[liberal N proud]

80. I noticed the lack of respect months ago.

At that time you could write it off as posturing and election attitude, but it has become more evident that much of that crowd lacks respect for anyone who does not agree with them.

[Thinkingabout]

85. Hillary was in the presidential mode, her speech was great, good for her.

[BobbyDrake]

89. Impotent fury, is what that is. No need to worry about people who can affect nothing

acting poorly on national television. They embarrass themselves well enough without us getting involved.

[texstad79]

There aren't enough haters to make a material difference.

[RazBerryBeret]

[VulgarPoet]

93. How the bloody hell did you get off my ignore list?

And for the record, supporters don't dictate who I support-- though if they did, I think I'd be even more staunchly #NeverHillary than before.

[Lizzie Poppet]

97. I don't respect venal warmongers.

Tough shit.

[mcar]

98. I'm with her!

[pinebox]

99. You're with what?

More war?
More fracking?
More student loan debt?
More sending children migrants back home?
More private prisons?
More people thrown in jail for pot?
More dirty money deals for weapons?
More of turning countries into vacuums?
More people uninsured and dying from it?

What are you fighting for? Ask yourself.

People can't stand Hillary. Most of America hates her and sees her as a sell out and corporate America puppet who is insincere.

The cheers may be loud but everything is loud inside an echo chamber of 10 people. America is going to vote and sorry but I don't see the majority of America voting for someone who they've hated for decades.

That is reality.

101. Yeah, spoiled kids tend to act that way.

[ancianita]

105. Winners cheer for themselves. Losers grieve and show their frustration. God, are you dense or what.

What a silly, shallow reaction for an OP.

Tired of you Hillers' obtuseness.

[Lint Head]

107. Surprised?

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

108. The crowds were expressing their opinons of the opposing candidates.

Apparently the Hillary crowd showed its admiration for Bernie and the Bernie showed its disdain for Hillary.

Such is politics.

110. If I had been there I would have booed also after the media stunt the night before

I am not with her.

113. What's to respect? Lying? Corruption? War mongering?

Arrogance? Smugness? Poor judgement?

Stop me when I get there...

[Hissyspit]

119. Oh, bullcrap.

Worthless post. Find something useful to do.

120. Many Sanders supporters do not trust Hillary Clinton

To us she embodies the problem.

[LWolf]

122. Respect comes in different categories.

Respect for living things. Respect for humans. That's the more general.

One can respect a person without respecting her words, actions, candidacy, or politics.

And those people gathered to listen to Sanders weren't at DU. They didn't have to censor what they really think.

But please...continue to point out how awful we are. It will be so helpful for you after the convention.

[JesterCS]

123. They don't like my candidate, waaaah..... n/t

[Orsino]

127. Tens of millions remain who have not yet been persuaded to support our presumptive nominee.

That doesn't make her the right choice or the wrong one; it simply highlights the challenges of the convention and the general election.

Who will she be working to win, and what policy can we use to help sell her message?

Rather than blaming haters, Trump-like, we need to be focused on constructive action.

[Herman4747]

130. Well, of course. Bernie is moral, Hillary is not. n/t

[ALBliberal]

139. Surprised to keep seeing these divisive posts. Why not look ahead and be positive?

[insta8er]

142. Respect is something one earns..One cannot buy that.
