Sanders Says Democratic Convention Will be Contested

64. Some of us remember 1968. I was only a child, but I remember how upset

the adults around me were, and it was because of the violence at the convention. The Dems lost a lot of voters that year, even though the cause -- the need to end the Vietnam was -- was right and just.

Trump's going to be managing his convention to be a love-fest. If ours turns into a repeat of the Nevada caucuses, due to Bernie giving his supporters false hopes -- and their believing that the election was "stolen" -- then we might as well hand the keys to the White House to Trump.

In every election since 1984, the AP contacts super delegates to confirm whom they're supporting, and announces the winner when the candidate wins the majority of all delegates -- pledged and super delegates combined.

That will happen on June 7th. But on that same day Hillary will have reached the majority of all pledged delegates -- counting no super delegates on either side of the equation. And she will have won millions more votes than Bernie across the United States.

For Bernie to come charging into the convention, claiming that he has any basis to "contest" the results, will be nothing more than selfish grandstanding. One last chance to be at the center of his universe -- but at the possible cost of leaving our party permanently divided.
