70. As of tonight with the voting for the nomination finished they seem to be quieter

I was upset last night at their disrespect. Not only did they boo the opposing candidate, they booed their own candidate as he was asking for unity. They booed during the prayer and they booed people who are not part of what they claim to be fighting against.

Tonight they got to vote and to express themselves and now they seem satisfied. Sen. Sanders choice to have the roll call even after he endorsed Secretary Clinton was a good choice. It gave his followers the chance to vent every bit of their enthusiasm and their frustration at having lost.

Hopefully now we can all work together to elect the first female president of the United States.
