How Sanders Delegates Organized a Walkout Under Everyone's Nose [hundreds walkout, not dozens!]
NBC News ^ | 7/26/2016 | Alex Seitz-Wald

There are at least 15,000 members of the media in Philadelphia right now, along with virtually every progressive movement leader and Democratic elected official in the country.

Yet no one seemed aware that hundreds of Bernie Sanders delegates planned to walk out of the Democratic National Convention in unison Tuesday, at the precise moment party unity was supposed to reach a crescendo.

The walkout, which came as Sanders personally moved to nominate Hillary Clinton by acclimation, left hundreds of seat on the convention floor empty ...

The negative implications of this magnitude of Democrat dissatisfaction for Hillary Clinton's election chances are staggering.
 
It is - I don't see how they fix it. The rage is palatable - not just at the convention but all across the internet. The Dem dumdums have managed to utterly piss off the constituency that contributed mightily to sweeping Obama to power in 2008.

The thing that’s surprising to me is that Sander-nistas seem to have been shocked that she was given the nomination. Did they think that somehow the DNC was going to throw out the results of their crooked primaries and say, “Ya know what, you’re right, Bernie’s our guy.”

I'm all for getting Jill Stein more attention. She has a long way to go to qualify for the debates.

While the Libertarian candidate will steal from both Trump and Hillary, Stein is pure Left.

Photos are a dishonest comparison.

Not taken at the same time.

Walk-out story may be true, but these photos prove nothing.

Look at their wall. They changed it to clear in attempt to cover up that they have wall at all. Was not attempting to show crowd, their 2 different walls.

Watch the video posted here:

You can hear Hillary speaking in the background so it must be during the video montage of her.

My error.
Since the OP was about the walk-out, I assumed the focus of the photos posted was the crowd and empty seats.

Did you watch the video at the link I posted?

It proves it because you can hear what is going on at the convention at the time.

I don't believe the Clinton Crime syndicate will allow anyone else to be "revered" so much by liberals besides Hillary Clinton. She has to bring every other "revered" liberal down to or below her level.

Therefore I predict Bernie Sanders will soon have a gigantic manufactured scandal of some kind, possibly with criminal charges.

“The thing that’s surprising to me is that Sander-nistas seem to have been shocked that she was given the nomination.”

They were pissed that Bernie endorsed her and I believe that was when the walkout happened.

“Maybe NBC is just more loyal to Bernie than Donald “

Actually, that was my thought too, but it’s hard to imagine that NBC would do ANYTHING that might jeopardize the Rat nominee, even if it was Satan himself. So, it’s still a puzzle to me.

“Huffpo says “hundreds”, Time says “”over 100”, and MSN says “dozens”. Those were the only msm stories “democratic convention walkout brought up on it on Bing.”

Yes, this really is a cover up of Biblical proportions. I suspect the “dozens” was simply repeated by the enemedia from Democrat propaganda sheets, just as they ALL somehow magically described Trump’s speech as “dark”.

“This story says 1800 Sanders delegates walked out!”

Well that would be nearly all of them, since Sanders had 1,893, including his 47 super delegates who probably would not walkout even if the place was on fire. So subtracting those delegates, leaves 1,846, and 1,800 of those walked out!
