I refuse to baby these grown ass idiots protesting our convention [View all]

Time to kick them out and finish our party. These are not really democrats. These are busters and soon to be Trump voters who would rather let Trump win as revenge for them not getting their way and being outvoted. News flash! You ain't doing nothing but making yourselves look irrelevant, privileged, angry, stupid, ignorant, loud, uninformed, pathetic, ridiculous, and nobody is going to join you in your obsolescence just because you get loud and start frothing at the mouth.
