Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) asked his supporters not to engage in violence in response to anti-Trump mobs attacking Donald Trump supporters as they left his rally in California last week. Sanders said, “Any person who is a Bernie Sanders supporter, please, do not in any way, shape or form engage in violence.”

An admission that his supporters are indeed violent and causing the violence at Trump rallies.
Maybe really telling his supporters to go after the Hillary supporters.
George Soreass and his gay buddy need to stop paying the rioters.
I notice he didn’t say anything about H*****y supporters engaging in violence.
How will Bernie and Hillary put the violent protesters back in the bottle. They created this, not Trump.
Ok, so he condemned the violence.
Won’t make a difference.
Haters gonna hate. Haters will show up and the violence will continue. His supporters WANT the fight.
Personally, I look for it to get worse, not better.
YMMV
Took him long enough.
Guess he had to poll the idea first.
It is a tacit admission that the optics generated by the liberal protestor violence is not favorable to their cause.
Nope.
I used to know a lot of guys like Bernie. His socialism is a fantasy socialism, arrived at by democratic methods and kept in power by free elections (without the mob violence).
They of course can't reconcile this "dream" with the bloody reality from 1792-2016 that accompanies "actually existing" socialism in multicultural or multinational societies.
This is because they are ALSO race-blind, at least consciously so (subconsciously they move to Whitest Vermont).
A lot of "conservatives" are race-blind, as well, so they don't see how well socialism works in white countries like Norway or Denmark, with small populations who regard themselves as members of a large extended family. Even in white Britain (I lived there in the 1970s) there were some successful socialist experiments built around social solidarity.
Now, when you mix this model with a place with multiple, hostile tribes, religions, classes or ethnicities and average IQs of 90 or less, what you get is not Norway - you get Rwanda, or Kosovo, or Cambodia. IOW, you get poverty, starvation, theft, and if unmolested by outside forces, you eventually get mountains of skulls.
So, I don't think it's Bernie Bros that are doing this stuff. For one thing, they're all white. La Raza and BLM are Hillary's people.
The situation seems to be that pro-Sanders protestors and LaRaza protestors we're all protesting Trump. As always happens, the more organized and violent group with their own agenda have taken over the protests. If Sanders anti-Trump protestors back off, those anti-Trump RIOTS are going to be totally in the hands of paid-for gangs of thugs striving to dismantle US sovereignty.
What happens when that group, Black Lives Matter, and Sanders supporters all show up at conventions and other flashpoints to protest, at the same time? At that point, there will be pushback, when folks have to defend themselves. Yikes
The worse of the violence will take place in Philly, but there will be issues of security at Cleveland as well. At the same time, do not be surprised in regards to the later, Gov. Kasich will end up calling up the NG to provide security.
I agree, he might have to. It won't sit well. Around here the memory of Kent State 1970 ("four dead in O-HI-O") still stings.
Bernie is a communist and communists are all about violence: Taking by force and killing those who get in their way.
“Socialism is Communism dressed up in a tuxedo”
Wink, wink. Nudge, nudge.
..... save it for the convention?
