39. We have a problem at the convention TODAY because of what Sanders did and said
Thu Jul 28, 2016, 02:20 AM

over the course of the campaign. No other candidate is responsible. Bernie himself knows it to be true. Otherwise he wouldn't have messaged his delegates to behave.

Well, they're not behaving. They're not doing him and the convention the professional courtesy he requested. Perhaps he needs to do a little more, like get out there every day it continues and forcefully and unequivocally say that this behavior is unacceptable and that he disowns any Sanders delegate who behaves in such a manner. He did it during the campaign when he said he didn't want the votes of people who were behaving violently. He should call for them to lose their credentials. He could call for a meeting of all his delegates and read them the riot act.

This is all within his power to do and well within what should be expected of him. They aren't going to listen to anyone else. They may not listen to Bernie at this point. But he needs to make EVERY effort to shut these people down.

Everybody knows these assholes are Sanders delegates. He credentialed them, and he can uncredential them. Why has he not called for them to be removed?
