197. I was a delegate to the national convention

The Clinton campaign had a whipping infrastructure in place and my whip was great on keeping me informed. The Clinton campaign warned her delegates that the Sanders delegates were going to protest and boo Congressman John Lewis 20 to 30 minutes before he was due to come onto the stage. This was planned event by the sanders delegates and according to my whip sanders was asked to stop it and declined.

A candidates delegates to the national convention are supposed to reflect the values of the candidate. Each candidate has the right to vet and reject delegates. The sanders delegates at the national convention did not make a good impression. My daughter was my guest and she was yelled at by sanders delegates and called the c-word because she would not try to get me to change my vote. sanders was asked repeatedly to talk to his delegates during the convention and sanders refused to do so.

These and other incidents will come up if sanders runs in 2020. The John Lewis incident would be an effective ad for states in the south. The Texas delegation shared a bus with the Georgia delegation and there are some senior Georgia delegates who were not happy with sanders.

I really doubt that sanders will be the nominee.
