Dem convention host: Sanders supporters better 'behave themselves' when he loses

[leftcoastmountains]

The chairman of the Philadelphia 2016 Host Committee for this summer’s Democratic National Convention said supporters of presidential candidate Bernie Sanders have to “behave themselves” when the Vermont senator loses the nomination.

During a radio interview with John Catsimatidis, Ed Rendell, a former Pennsylvania governor and Democratic National Committee chairman, laid out his vision for how the convention would play out.

“I think it’s gonna be a great convention, but of course the key to it is the Sanders people. Bernie’s gonna have his name placed in nomination; we’re gonna have a roll call; there’s gonna be a demonstration in support of Bernie; he’s gonna lose the roll call,” he said. “His supporters have to behave and not cause trouble. And I think they will, and I think Sen. Sanders will send them a strong message.”

2. Well, that's not condescending at all

[LongTomH]

33. 'Condescending' is too nice a word......

[DrDan]

3. You know thats not going to happen

[pengu]

4. This is what Rendell thinks of Bernie and his supporters

In a three-way race featuring Mr. Sanders and Mr. Bloomberg, Mr. Rendell said he might back the former New York mayor.

“As a lifelong Democrat, as a former party chairman, it would be very hard for me to do that,” he said. “But I would certainly take a look at it — absolutely.”

Rendell can kiss my ass. Calls for unity from him are worthless.

[shraby]

6. That Rendell has a bad attitude. I've noticed it on numerous times when he got his mug on one

of the talk shows. Maybe he should go back under his rock until the show is over.

[LiberalArkie]

12. He does remind me of Richard J. Daley mayor of Chicago in 1968.

[left-of-center2012]

7. I have two words for Ed Rendell

And it's not "Happy Motoring".

[MisterP]

8. "bring the defendant in for his fair guilty verdict!" how charmingly totalitarian

[Matt_in_STL]

9. Evidently, requests for Rendell to go fuck himself have been ignored.

[Ed Suspicious]

10. Fuck him.

[LiberalArkie]

11. Reminds me that the McCarthy supporters and others were told to get out of Chicago, some

even before the voting started.

[Jennylynn]

13. Fu hu hu hu hu hu

K. You.

[Joob]

14. Holy shit, fuck the DNC

[Jon Ace]

15. Maybe they'll tell us to "cut it out" n/t

[abelenkpe]

16. Stuff like this will help

Encourage Bernie supporters to vote for Hillary.

[sarge43]

17. Isn't that special. Threatening fellow Democrats.

So much for unity.

[dreamnightwind]

18. Let's Misbehave!

[retrowire]

19. orrr we have the right to feel however the hell we want to. nt

[MissDeeds]

20. They are just fanning the flames

They already lit the fuse by spearheading a rigged and corrupt primary, and now they want us to fall in line and march in lockstep?

Oh yeah, that's going to go over well.

[CharlotteVale]

21. Rendell makes my flesh crawl.

[JackInGreen]

22. Ffs

Yep, new party time, these people are fucked off.

[imari362]

23. Well....

Ain't he special

[Plucketeer]

24. Ed....

Up Yours!

[dana_b]

25. Bernie's supporters behavior will be entirely dependent upon

the behavior of the Dems running the convention and the fairness of the rules in place. If they don't want another 1968, they better not act like fascist oligarchs. It is entirely on them.

[jillan]

30. Well said!!

[awake]

26. Or Hillery will "have to bring them to heal"

[Kalidurga]

27. If Bernie loses the nomination they should represent us by walking out.

Because that is what many of us will do, 30% and counting.

[pangaia]

28. Another example of why Bernie is running..

[onecaliberal]

29. Fuck rendell. Stupid fucking fascist loving lobbyist pig.

[Kittycat]

31. I think Rendell should behave himself

All these threats from third way types won't go over well with foundation democrats.

[octoberlib]

32. Fuck Ed Rendell !

He and his Fix the Debt group have been doing everything they can to try to eliminate the social safety net. Rendell is completely corrupt and the fact that he's perfectly comfortable supporting Hillary speaks volumes.
