Showing Original Post only (View all)CNN: Sanders aide instigated supporters to "take over" the Nevada convention [View all]
http://www.cnn.com/2016/05/17/politics/democrat-bernie-sanders-revolt/index.html
But new audio obtained by CNN shows a senior Sanders aide -- on the eve of the Nevada convention -- encouraging the senator's supporters try to "take over" the convention, change party rules and continue the "revolution" that Sanders has long campaigned on.
"You should not leave," Joan Kato, the national delegates director, told Sanders supporters in a meeting last week at the Rumor Boutique Hotel. "I'm going to repeat that, unless you are told by someone from the campaign ... that you can leave, you should not leave."

They did such a great job of following the Sanders Campaign Official's instructions though.

It wouldn't be the first time there was a Clinton plant in the Sander's campaign.

OK. Sander's campaign officials are actually HRC spies. He must be one inept MFker then.

Well, that's hard to counter. But Sanders' supporters will just blame it on Clinton.
