This was an open provocation which Sanders' supporters were right to Boo her. Boxer is not only in the bag for the Former First Lady, she's a Clinton in-law--Boxer's daughter Nichole is married to Hillary's brother Tony Rodham. Does "our" Oligarchy get any more incestuous?

Maybe that's why she was speaking. Barbara and her are "family"

And I do mean as President. No one should vote for her as her campaign and the DNC Establishment abuse the system that should be for the people. If we say this is okay it will never change.

Tensions were high at the Democratic convention in Nevada Saturday, with Bernie Sanders supporters demanding delegate recounts, booing Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) and causing other disruptions, according to local media reports.

Sanders supporters were angry over a voice vote that adopted a set of temporary convention rules as the permanent rules, according to the Las Vegas Sun.

And supporters also reacted angrily to the count of delegates attending the convention, which put Hillary Clinton at an advantage. Final numbers announced later in the day showed 1,695 Clinton supporters in attendance to Sanders's 1,662.

(snip)
The vote on rules led to supporters flocking the front of the convention room and shouting “this is fixed” and “no confidence” at party officials.

Even in NY, I've never seen problems like we had this year

Small victory for Sanders supporters - they got the proposed platform rejected. They're still duking it out . . .
