Sanders rally chant: 'She's a liar!' until they cut them off



DES MOINES, Iowa — The room at Bernie Sanders' rally here turned ice cold when Hillary Clinton's speech took over the televisions here.

The crowd booed loudly at first, then cheered when the sound cut out. The sound soon returned and Clinton was drowned out by further boos when she said "I'm a progressive who gets things done."

It escalated from there: Chants of "She's a liar!" took over the room before the campaign just entirely shut off the stream, cutting away from MSNBC entirely.

Anne here answering the question -- why do I support Hillary now over Bernie? ---- I love Bernie and I love Hillary. I'll vote for whoever is nominated! But I believe Hillary can stop Trump, and I'm not sure Bernie can. I believe Hillary will be the more pragmatic and effective president. I've been watching and listening and this is my conclusion. Hillary I hope will be the nominee. --- . Trump has practically secured the Republican nomination which I never dreamed possible; and I do believe Hillary is the candidate to win against him. ---- And I've come to see that Hillary is the most qualified person ever to run for president, and I've come to the conclusion that Bernie's great heart and idealism may not do as well in the reality of the White House as Hillary's great experience and strength. ---- Hillary's problem as I see it is that she is not a sympathetic or charismatic candidate. She does not communicate warmth and passion the way that Bernie does, or Trump does or Bill Clinton continues to do. But that is a small matter. What matters is her commitment, her experience, her knowledge, her principles, her strength under continuous attack, and her effectiveness at getting things done. She was a great Secretary of State. She was a fine Senator. She was a great First Lady and she tried with all her might and main to bring us some kind of workable health care for all Americans years ago. I love her and support her. I hope Bernie will wind up as VP or in the Cabinet. He will have huge popular support for his brilliant ideas. I hope this answers the question fully as to why I appeared to change my mind. As I said, I have always loved both candidates.
