Bernie's rebellion is going rogue
Christian Science Monitor ^ | July 26, 2016 | Amanda Paulson

Many of those inspired by Sen. Bernie Sanders' insurgent campaign are now unwilling or reluctant to fall into line with his pleas to support Clinton.

Chants of "Bernie!", and boos whenever Hillary Clinton’s name was mentioned, filled the opening hours of the Democratic National Convention, with delegates supporting Sen. Bernie Sanders (I) of Vermont repeatedly drowning out other speakers with their vocal dissent.

Never mind that after the weekend’s Wikileaks scandal revealed bias against Senator Sanders, the Democratic National Committee (DNC) issued a formal apology, forced the resignation of DNC chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz, and moved Senator Sanders’ speech to the final keynote spot. His supporters were largely unappeased.

Indeed, the Vermonter whose insurgent campaign tapped into latent frustration with America’s political system, is now finding that many of those he inspired are unwilling to fall into line. Sanders delegates here emphasize that he’s not directing them, and that any protest activity on the floor is a result of grass-roots activism. That makes the push for unity, now coming from both Mrs. Clinton and Sanders, an even more daunting challenge.

A national political campaign is better than the best circus ever heard of, with a mass baptism and a couple of hangings thrown in. - H. L. Mencken

Problem one is that Clinton never apologized and, two, she simply added DWS to her campaign staff instead in of paying her throughout the DNC.

THe last verse is for Bernie supporters.

TUNE = “You’re a mean one, Mister Grinch”

You’re a mean one, Hil-la-ry.
You left Chris Stevens to die.
When Muslims took Bengazhi
You went off to catch shut -eye,
Hiillary!

You’re a top advisor
Who’s really a spy.

You’re a monster, Hil-la-ry.
You defied our policy
Using unncrtypted emails
Compromised security
Hil-lar-ry!

I wouldn’t trust you
With a sixty-four bit encryption key.

You’re a foul one, Hil-la-ry.
‘Nabling sex predator Bill
Stain a blue dress in the office
Have a cigar for a thrill
Hil-la-ry.

Given the choice between the two of you I’d take Humma for a chill.

You’re a vile one, Hil-la-ry.
You’r a nasty wasty skank.
You run down Juanita Broaddrick,
and put down Kathleen Wiley
Hil-la-ry!

The three words that best describe you are as follows, and I quote
“Stink, stunk, stank”!

You’re a rotter, Hil-la-ry.
You’re the queen of sinful sots
You’re heart’s filled with a trinity
of me, myself, I gots
Hil-la-ry!

Your soul is an appalling dump heap overflowing with the most disgraceful
Assortment of rubbish imaginable mangled up in tangled up knots!

You nauseate us, Hil-la-ry
And you disenfrachise us
Who were Bernie Sanders boosters
Bumpted by superdelegates
Hil-la-ry!

You’re a three-decker insider
esablisment sandwich,
With Rinocrat sauce!

If Bernie had dropped out during the primaries and switched to the Green party he would have really gotten a big chunk of votes in Nov. If he really wanted radical change, he would have done that.

It went much too smoothly last night, I was surprised Bern did not say - vote your conscious and leave it there until the vote was cast and then if he lost, support HC.

When you think about it, the democrat establishment is nominating the most corrupt, lawless woman in all of America for president of the United States.

We’ve really come right to the edge of the falls.

It's scheduled for Thursday night during her acceptance speech ... at the latest.

Save the boos for Bill. And boo him off the stage! The dirt bag deserves everything they can throw at him.

Sure, we may enjoying the Dem Zombie Apocalypse at the moment...

...but don't think it's beyond imagination to believe Zero and his domestic army arsonists will feed this tire-fire enough so that he suspends the election and declares Martial Law ("until I can bring this Trump-fueled chaos under control.")

That’s a pretty large airspace....but I’m confident they can completely pollute it.
