(179,756 posts)In the real world there is a concept called vetting. Each candidate has absolute approval rights over their delegates. I know that I was vetted and I helped vet other Clinton delegates. We had no issues at the convention other than the mini-riot when the sanders delegates demanded that we condemn Clinton and vote for sanders. I had to calm down a labor delegate who was very upset by the circus caused by the sanders delegates.
Again, my daughter was my guest to this event. A group of sanders delegates decide to scream obscenities at her and call her the c-word because she would not try to get me to change my vote. The last two nights of the convention the Chair of the State Party made the head of the sanders delegation set next to two sanders delegates who were screaming obscenities and acting up. This was amusing in that the head of the sanders delegation was an idiot who had been fired during 2012 convention for trading VIP tickets for sex (I wonder why he ended up working for sanders).
I have a friend who worked for sanders who was one of the people who complained about sexual harassment by members of the sanders campaign https://www.democraticunderground.com/1016224223 Sarah was excluded from the sanders event and she is being attacked even now by the sanders senior people who harassed her. I seriously doubt that we will see any change in the behavior of the sanders surrogates
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
