14. I was a delegate to the national convention

We also had to deal with bernie or bust types at the convention which was no fun. It was in my delegation that a bunch a bernie delegates marched in to the delegation breakfast to condemn Hillary Clinton and to demand that we changed our votes. One of the bernie delegates who pulled this stunt had his credentials pulled. I was pleased that a most of the Sanders delegates in the Texas convention rejected this stunt and apologized for these actions.

I firmly believe that Sanders did his best in the primary to hurt Clinton's chances in the general election. I really do not want a sanders ally to be DNC chair and I am not alone.
