If Weaver is right, Sanders might not speak at the convention [View all] CrowCityDem Jun 2016 OP

Weirder and weirder, Lets just invite Trump to a debate at the convention. nt BootinUp Jun 2016 #1

It'll never happen that way and Weaver knows it CorkySt.Clair Jun 2016 #2

Yeh, that makes sense. Why didn't i think of it. HERVEPA Jun 2016 #55

In all honesty firebrand80 Jun 2016 #3

Tad Devine understands the process, but apparently they've locked Devine in a basement somewhere. emulatorloo Jun 2016 #4

either that or he's the one handling the adult assignments of dealing with Clinton's people geek tragedy Jun 2016 #6

That theory makes a hell of lot of sense. emulatorloo Jun 2016 #10

Weaver likes being on television, Devine likes the idea of having clients in the future nt geek tragedy Jun 2016 #12

Hillary is in love with her ego pangaia Jun 2016 #103

bless your heart nt geek tragedy Jun 2016 #104

Thank you. pangaia Jun 2016 #105

OMG... Sanders is all ego, talking third person and stating his crowds earned his win. seabeyond Jun 2016 #107

Where is Tad? kstewart33 Jun 2016 #63

Any idea where Tad Devine has been? He has been keeping a low profile lately. Just curious. still_one Jun 2016 #126

Come on, you get a lot of experience running a national campaign while running a comic book store brush Jun 2016 #85

The 'Weaver!, Weaver!' obsession among Hillary supporters is bizarre AgingAmerican Jun 2016 #5

He is the one out there talking. Are we suppose to ignore what he says, or pay attention? seabeyond Jun 2016 #20

You aren't addressing his words AgingAmerican Jun 2016 #41

Why yes, I think we're exactly talking about what he said, and how fucking stupid and childish it is seabeyond Jun 2016 #43

"Weaver!" AgingAmerican Jun 2016 #59

Should Sanders be allotted campaign speech time is the issue, in case you are the one not paying seabeyond Jun 2016 #68

Of course he will, he is the runner up AgingAmerican Jun 2016 #74

Again, with the Weaver, your posts are silly. seabeyond Jun 2016 #75

Oh and they show such hate ...they call him a weasel too. bkkyosemite Jun 2016 #76

No. He's just dumb. randome Jun 2016 #124

It really is. Why don't we ever hear about Mook? frylock Jun 2016 #87

I agree. LOL. They have that slime ball Brock and they diss Weaver? It's just more hillaryty. jillan Jun 2016 #122

"Weaver" has become a scapegoat for them AgingAmerican Jun 2016 #125

It's projection. We have no awful Brock on our side, so they throw stuff, JimDandy Jun 2016 #129

A cobbled together strawman AgingAmerican Jun 2016 #131

Weaver didn't know what he was saying. That's why he fell into the tax trap. FSogol Jun 2016 #7

Bernie can second his own nomination, but he's not going to bump Biden or Bill Clinton geek tragedy Jun 2016 #8

Pathetic. ucrdem Jun 2016 #9

Why shouldn't he speak? He's a prominant Democrat and spokesperson for the party. Tierra_y_Libertad Jun 2016 #11

Of course he will speak. But it won't be because of Jeff Weaver. emulatorloo Jun 2016 #14

He absolutely should, if he concedes. The convention isn't a place for him to rail against Hillary. CrowCityDem Jun 2016 #15

Will he be required to sign a Loyalty Oath and agree to be censored? Tierra_y_Libertad Jun 2016 #16

Conventions are infomercials for the winning candidate, not a place for fighting (anymore). CrowCityDem Jun 2016 #17

Really? Were you around in '68? Tierra_y_Libertad Jun 2016 #18

Hence the "anymore". Times have changed. 68 was still only the party picking the winner. CrowCityDem Jun 2016 #19

Some can't close the yearbook on their salad days, apparently CorkySt.Clair Jun 2016 #44

Is that something you heard while binge watching West Wing for the 20th time? frylock Jun 2016 #88

People remember what came of '68, and also '80 and will not risk that to salve his ego. bettyellen Jun 2016 #23

Yes. In both elections the Democrats nominated candidates who offered "more of the same". Tierra_y_Libertad Jun 2016 #28

Could be the first time leftynyc Jun 2016 #45

I voted for Carter and came to respect him a lot. Tierra_y_Libertad Jun 2016 #50

Yet you tag him as leftynyc Jun 2016 #51

I always endeavor to please. Tierra_y_Libertad Jun 2016 #62

"Behave approprietely"? At a convention? Tierra_y_Libertad Jun 2016 #29

Are you invited? HERVEPA Jun 2016 #57

Really? Lol. That is your comeback? Whatever. Too funny. seabeyond Jun 2016 #66

Methinks the lady doth protest too much. HERVEPA Jun 2016 #67

That's nice. frylock Jun 2016 #98

Calling Sanders a prominent Democrat is a stretch mythology Jun 2016 #54

Your ignorance is showing. He consistently has caucused with and voted with the Democrats. HERVEPA Jun 2016 #58

Ahhh . . . he did say those things about the party brush Jun 2016 #94

Why should "neither speak before that vote"? Tierra_y_Libertad Jun 2016 #65

Chase him away and don't be surprised when 25% of the Democratic Party follows. Nt lostnfound Jun 2016 #81

I agree totally with you. If he cannot represent Democrats uniting to endorse our GE candidate, seabeyond Jun 2016 #13

Weaver is a delusional asshole workinclasszero Jun 2016 #21

What are you afraid of? aikoaiko Jun 2016 #24

That Bernie will make it all about him, when it's supposed to be about US. CrowCityDem Jun 2016 #26

I don't think you have anything to fear unless you mean he needs to not aikoaiko Jun 2016 #31

What the heck are you saying? CrowCityDem Jun 2016 #32

I was saying that he could make his pitch and if didn't work then endorse HRC for POTUS. aikoaiko Jun 2016 #33

No, I don't get it, because it makes no sense. CrowCityDem Jun 2016 #35

I don't think I can explain it any better. Like I said I don't think aikoaiko Jun 2016 #64

That's what a modern convention is, a lovefest. CrowCityDem Jun 2016 #72

Sanders well knows it is over and still wanting his tantrums and be disruptive and disrespectful. NT seabeyond Jun 2016 #73

He's been saying it for months notadmblnd Jun 2016 #80

I am sure there will be no speeches at all about Hillary. chascarrillo Jun 2016 #36

every speech will be pro-Hillary, since the entire point of the convention is to help geek tragedy Jun 2016 #38

Take it up with CrowCityDem. -nt- chascarrillo Jun 2016 #40

eh, crowcitydem isn't in charge of scheduling speakers at the convention. geek tragedy Jun 2016 #42

"The convention is not a place for a campaign speech." chascarrillo Jun 2016 #34

it's a place to campaign for the nominee, not against the nominee. geek tragedy Jun 2016 #37

The convention determines the nominee. The delegates vote for the nominee. chascarrillo Jun 2016 #39

the voters determine the nominee, the convention is an infomercial geek tragedy Jun 2016 #46

"They're a coronation". Keep digging that hole! chascarrillo Jun 2016 #61

They probably have to, but he doesn't get anything better than the Jerry Brown treatment nt geek tragedy Jun 2016 #48

I'm glad Weaver said the Tax returns are coming out MattP Jun 2016 #52

Sanders intent to scorch earth our nominee...no business talking beachbumbob Jun 2016 #53

If Sanders does not formally concede before the convention, then he can sit home and watch on tv. Tarc Jun 2016 #56

Congratulations on 7K posts!! (eom) StevieM Jun 2016 #60

I could be wrong, but I don't think that is your decision to make. HERVEPA Jun 2016 #69

I assume that this will all work itself out. StevieM Jun 2016 #71

''Detestable.'' Octafish Jun 2016 #78

In 2008, Hillary made a speech the day before the roll call vote at Blue Meany Jun 2016 #79

She had already conceded. Her speech was about the Democratic party coming together. CrowCityDem Jun 2016 #82

He could have done that, in integrity, how he campaigns. He chose not to. seabeyond Jun 2016 #108

Meh, let him speak... The die is already cast Blue_Tires Jun 2016 #100

It would not be a campaign speech passiveporcupine Jun 2016 #101

What would you call a speech designed to flip the supers? That's what Weaver threatened. CrowCityDem Jun 2016 #102

I doubt it will be a speech designed to flip supers passiveporcupine Jun 2016 #106

I'm just reacting to what Weaver said. He indicated it. CrowCityDem Jun 2016 #110

I don't think he indicated that passiveporcupine Jun 2016 #111

People in his position always speak... once they've conceded. CrowCityDem Jun 2016 #114

So basically you are afraid of him speaking before conceding passiveporcupine Jun 2016 #115

Yes. I don't trust him to do the right thing. He's always been ungracious. CrowCityDem Jun 2016 #116

OK, no more conversation. passiveporcupine Jun 2016 #119

The issue: I haven't heard a primary night concession from Bernie. No reason to think he will now. CrowCityDem Jun 2016 #120

It would be a speech trashing the Democratic party, which we do not want at our party. seabeyond Jun 2016 #109

I watched that interview - he looked like a deer-in-the-headlights when asked that question - like DrDan Jun 2016 #112

If Sanders has not conceded and endorsed, no speech and no platform goodies. Demsrule86 Jun 2016 #113
