300 Bernie delegates couldn't be bothered to even show up. Not Roberta Lange's fault. 64 Bernie delegates couldn't be bothered to register as Democrats. Not Roberta Lange's fault. A voice vote doesn't count volume, it counts voices. Not Roberta Lange's fault.

If you want to be angry, be angry at the Sanders Campaign in NV who couldn't get their act together.
