What was with that applause-o-meter thing?  like, at least have a show of hands or hand out those little two dollar remotes to everyone that have "A, B, C, or D" options. Something other than a room full of people shouting. 

This is interesting though and does come off as very shady. I won't completely jump to the conclusion that it was all done to benefit Hillary but either way they shouldn't be changing rules or times at the last minute. If foul play honestly isn't involved, the least they could've done is handled it better.

58 of Bernie delegates were purged from the records. He lost by around 30 delegates. They weren't allowed to prove they were delegates, even though they had paperwork to back it up. More delegates for Bernie showed up, but Clinton won because of a rigged system. 

The chair did what she wanted to do, not the democratic thing to do.

- some of 64 Sanders delegates were accepted

- Hillary lost delegates in vetting too

- delegates were rejected because they weren't registered Dems by May 1st.

Looks fair to me.

This isn't democracy. This is rioting when things don't go your way and begging for excuses to make a fuss.

This is our very own Tea Party.

I agree and thats what I've been thinking for a while now...that this "revolution" reminds me of the tea baggers. 

Bernie's statement illustrates why he is not fit for a leadership position at the highest level. He repeatedly said that Trump should take responsibility for the violence at his rallys. Bernie shoukd do the same.

6 delegates of 64 were accepted, 58 were not. Their alternates were also not allowed. Hillary lost 4. 

 

Looks unfair to me.

Because far more Sanders supporters were ineligible. 

What makes you think it's because of corruption? You're trying to draw implications out of thin air.

I wouldn't be shocked if many of Sander's supporters were actually Trump supporters who want to **** over the Democrats by voting for Bernie in the last minute and raising hell.

So many variables yet you're keen to take the one that makes you look like the victim.

Most states (i.e. West Virginia) allocate PLEOs and at-large delegates based on total statewide primary results. If this had been done, Clinton would win the PLEO count 3-2 and the at-large count 4-3, resulting in a final total of Clinton 20, Sanders 15 — precisely what actually happened.

Frankly I think it's far more shady that people, registered mere days before a caucus from Republican to Democrat around the same time Trump became the lone candidate, wanted to come in and place their votes with the end result being barbaric and verbally violent.

The democrats are beginning to fight between each other more than the republicans were....holy ****.

I could honestly see Trump's supporters doing everything they can to prevent Hillary from getting the nomination. A lot of them like both Bernie and Trump purely because they're seen as "anti-establishment"  but I guess it's within their right to do so...right?

Spoiler

I thought you had to change your affiliated party almost a month before the primary though? Like, 20-30 days before?  or am I wrong on that too?

Either way, we can all agree that acting like idiots isn't ok in any situation and violence is never acceptable. Here's hoping Bernie reprimands them in Gaga fashion.

I just don't understand why Hillary's camp just has this attitude that "well your candidate Bernie is probably going to lose so time to bow down and agree with everything I say even though I represent everything Bernie was fighting against" 

 

 

Like....if Hillary Clinton's camp and supporters continue to pressure Bernie supporters with this whole swishing finger attitude like "you better join us or else" attitude I think it's going to backfire against her. 

I know alot of you disagree with Trump's policy....but Clinton should take a note from his game. He isn't telling Cruz or Kasich supporters that they better support him to win....he's asking them for their vote and just letting them decide. Hillary making Bernie supporters feel pressured only solidifies her whole "bossy career politician" image that Bernie supporters don't like.

You wish!  No such thing has come from Hillary's mouth, but of course your just trying to get upset Betnie supporters to vote for your bigoted candidate instead.  You're not fooling no one...

Meh....I really don't think that's the case. Trump supporters are dedicated but blue collar. The odds of them caring about some democratic convention is slim to none, and the idea that you could convince a whole bunch of Trump people to become Bernie sign holding people on national television is a reach and then some. 

I'm honestly just saying this from personal experience....all the Trump supporters I know don't care to step foot in a dem event because it revolts them. 

I do think there are republicans that might have been pro-Kasich and still don't like Trump that switched to a democratic candidate. Nevada is a purple state so it's very possible.

Oops...I meant her camp (I referred to her camp as her several times in the post). Lol sawry 

I just mean that Hillary supporters saying "we've got to beat Trump so choose Hillary young Bernie supporters!" ....is kind of like asking a vegan to choose steak because chicken is against their values. 

My point is....Hillary needs to make sure her camp is presenting her as tofu steak if she wants to win. 

Does that metaphor make any sense? Lol
