FULL TITLE: "DNC leaders flee Nevada State Dem Convention, call in sheriff’s deputies and hotel security as dispute over delegates escalates into violence"(video at link)

Bitterness and violence erupted yesterday at the Democrats’ Nevada State Convention in Las Vegas, as 64 Sanders delegates were disqualified, allowing Clinton to take 7 of the 12 delegates up for grabs. Party officials there ignored a motion from the floor and rammed through a vote according to the wishes of the Clinton campaign. It’s almost as if the Hillary faction genuinely fears for the nomination it supposedly has sewn up.

Along the way Barbara Boxer was booed:

I don’t think we are going to see much at the rnc. Trump is going to have enough support. Ryan is in danger of losing his primary. The GOPe is in survival mode.

Bernie’s Brigades won’t go away silently, and there’s no way he becomes her running mate. She’s the nominee and she’s going down in flames in November. In the annals of history Bernie will become a lefty folk hero for standing up to the establishment and Shrillary will only be known as Bill’s Wife. They won’t say it out loud but most people in the Democratic Party from the rank and file to the party leadership will be glad to get rid of the Clintons as powerbrokers. I’m convinced Bill will be happy too with a Hillary defeat so he won’t have to share the spotlight in history with her.

Everybody keeps wondering if the crooked Hillary will be indicted. The episode outlined above might be a clue.

FReeper Arthurus made a particularly good point: the DNC PTB are counting on Hillary being able to pull her chestnuts out of the fire......but she keeps tanking.

"So if Trump is set to win so overwhelmingly that the voter fraud Boobamba and Val have in the works would be patently obvious to the voting population, then Hillary will have to go......and will probably be indicted.

I was talking to a democratic friend who is upset that their only choice is between hillary and bernie. There are a lot of dmocrats that are not too happy about this. Apparently there are many democrats that will be voting for Doanld Trump. I couln’t believe how angry they really are.

I should have tagged that as sarcasm. There is no source.

If this is how Hillary runs the progressive Democrat party, imagine how she would rule America

Her blizzard of executive orders would make Obama look like a strict constitutionalist in comparison.

The media will ignore it, but will rush to cover anybody acting wild at the Republican convention!

Ha haaaaaa!!!

And all the ventriloquist dummies in the Charlie McCarthy Media can focus on is whether or not grown men should be able to use the little girls' room.

“I couldn’t believe how angry they really are...”

Not all members of the Democratic party are left wing socialist. Many joined the party years ago and just sort of coasted left having never really thought about it.

This election is opening the eyes of members of both parties.

The dirty little secret neither the Democrats or the Republicans have the best interest of the American people at heart. They are working their own agenda.

Trump has exposed the machinery in which they gain power without letting the people know what their real plans are.

Win or lose, thank you Mr. Trump.

Not all of those Sanders supporters are all that ideological on a lot of issues. They’re sick of endless wars, of a lack of jobs, fr a rigged political process, of the bums in DC. My hunch is a lot of them will either stay home on election day or vote for Trump. Trump and Sanders have identified a lot of the same problems. Where they differ is the solutions.

"Some conservatives will stay home if their chosen candidate doesn’t make the nomination. (I think this inability to look at the larger picture gave us eight damaging years under Obama."

You THINK it gave us 8 yrs of Obama...You THINK???

Good Lord, man what does it take to convince you the total F'n brain dead butt wipes who sat out the last election because the Republican candidate failed to check off ALL their precious Conservative points, are the very epitome of clueless, self aggrandizing jerks.

I can see them standing around as the country falls to pieces around us and all which made her great about to disappear and thinking, "Yes, yes it sure is awful what this president has done but at least I still have my principles and proved it by being willing to sacrifice the entire nation and all her citizens in the name of MY self righteous belief".

Poster children for the stupid, each and every one of them.

Many of them simply believe Hillary Clinton is a criminal and the ideological twin of John McCain.
