which results in a sexual hookup, oops sorry I mean "political discussion" gone wrong. vs. the behavior of thousands of official campaign delegates at a state convention?

I think we can all agree that you shouldn't get drunk and punch a woman you met in the hotel bar at 3 in the morning. But apparently Sanders supporters can't agree that you shouldn't scream at elected officials, call them bitches, and threaten to throw chairs at an official party caucus!
