What Happened at the Nevada “Democratic” State Convention?

What Happened at the Nevada “Democratic” State Convention?

Greetings, my friends! As many of you have probably heard, “tensions were high” at the state convention in Nevada yesterday. Now, because CNN, MSNBC, and the rest of the usual “news” outlets seem to have forgotten to mention it, I’ve decided (as usual) to step in to inform you all and clean up the mess of misinformation.

You see, all of this happened because there has been a bit of a misunderstanding between the “Democratic” Party and ourselves — they’ve been laboring under the impression that we — you know, the people — are supposed to subserviently accept what the democratic party officials have decreed but — meanwhile — we (having been misled by the word “democratic” being in their name) thought that we would get to have a say in choosing our nominee for president. As you can guess, this embarrassing miscommunication has led to a lot of confusion — but worry not! I believe that we can clear all of that up in this article by taking a look at a few numbers. First up, let’s talk about…

1,693 and 1,662

Those were the numbers of both Clinton and Sanders delegates that were at the state “democratic” convention in Nevada on Saturday — well, actually, those are the numbers of delegates that were allowed to participate in the convention on Saturday — and, as you can see:

1,693 – 1,662 = 31

Clinton had 31 more delegates inside of the convention — which wasn’t very good news for the Sanders supporters yesterday. But wait! There’s another number that you should probably know about and that is…

I'm not surprised. Not in the slightest.

Of course, the MSM will happily whitewash this.

In the end, they'll lose. The Hillary camp is alienating more and more voters, everyday.

Have fun storming the castle Hillary...armed with only your little bubble of sycophants that grows smaller and smaller with each new rude and infantile act!

Thanks for the post and your link, silvershadow. This was so obviously fraud/suppression it has surprised me. The Democratic Party is going downhill, sadly. Bernie gives us courage and determination and I'll do all I can to help get him elected.

impossible step by "rules," which, if need be, will be created on the spot by voice votes that will always be declared to go for the Hillary camp. See? Democracy! They think we are too civil to protest, too meek to fight.

the Searchlight State has such an exemplary leader in Harry Reid. Let's keep John Laurits in coffee money.

Crap that's going to backfire more than they know. Bernie said he wouldn't run as a third party, but he didn't say he wouldn't run as a third party even if you commit election fraud, voter suppression, purge voters from the rolls and steal my data so you could flip registrations of My supporters from Democrat to Republican. That wasn't part if the deal, so they deserve what's coming and they will pay dearly.

They will rue the day they stole this election - if they succeed AND if CLINTON ISN'T INDICTED BEFORE THE CONVENTION.

PEACE
LOVE
BERNIE
