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:

The people making up the parties could not be more different. For a visual aid look at the photos of the places where rallies were held. You would need to work hard to find trash after a Republican rally. But after a Democrat speaks the ground looks like a trash dump.

After the 2000 convention (wisely held outside of Philadelphia, accessible only by one otherwise closed interstate exit and one local train stop) a local talk show host who attended both conventions said that he was most impressed by two major differences. One was that there was no trash on the floor of the Republican convention while the Dems had trash all over the place. Same, by the way after inaugurations.

the other was that Republicans would make an appointment and keep it, while Dems would say, who are you. If they did make an appt for an interview they often didn't bother to show up.

Hmmm. Winning the votes won’t guarantee he gets to move to d.c.

No, merely earning the most votes doesn't guarantee that.

An overwhelming landslide and enough incidents of fistfights could convince the ones who would under normal circumstances cheerfully steal the election that doing so this time would be a life-threatening move.

Their individual lives.

I don't think they are naïve enough to think with the internet and enough enraged citizens that We The People can't figure out exactly who they are, where they live, and when and where they club.

Not advocating it, but I can't stop it either.

And neither can they. We've had quite enough. Quite enough.

Hillary is destroying the Democrat Party.

What will her next crime be?

This is the best year I’ve had since I was a kid!

Good luck with that. There are some that can not be saved from terminal liberalism. :)

Yeah, I’m pretty much topped off. But there are a lot of stupid people that think they are “above” us down in the dirt peons. Rude awakening is possible.

I was talking to a democratic friend who is upset that their only choice is between hillary and bernie.

All my lefty friends and relatives are in the tank for Bernie. No desire or excitement for Hillary. Many can't stand her. She is going to lose if she's the nominee. No. Doubt.

Since they’re now resorting to violence to stop the Witch, there’s a good chance they won’t vote for her. All Trump needs to do is keep on complaining about how the system is rigged and use the DemonCraps and the Witch as the prime example.

Trump’s probably one of the hardest, smartest, most innovative, meanest fighting candidates ever to run or the presidency, especially as a Republican. GO TRUMP!!

Rude awakening is possible.

Traditionally most don't survive the rude awakening.

The new bosses must eliminate them.

They were discontent with the their lives in the old regime, why would the be content with the new one?

They betrayed their country, they betrayed their friends, they betrayed their civilization. Why wouldn't they betray he new boss (same as the old boss)

Worse, the overthrew the old order, they know how to destroy a power structure. They'll do it again when they feel the new regime has betrayed them.

And they will...

There is also a much greater ideological divide between the Bernie nuts and the Hillary nuts than many of us realize, meaning there's a very good chance they won't be able to unite after the Witch fixes the convention and steals the nomination . This quote from a May 14, 2016 Salon article shows it:

Even if Sanders loses the nomination contest, which at this point appears likely, he represents an egalitarian, democratic vision that is highly skeptical of corporate power and the neoliberalism that Clinton represents. This agenda has resonated, fueling a surprisingly strong campaign that has energized many, especially younger voters, and those supporters expect that their message will be carried all the way to the convention. For Sanders, stopping the fight at this point would be senseless.

From what I’ve seen, it was the Hillary campaign and the DNC that started the whole thing. They purposely scheduled the convention right when the university was having their graduation so there weren’t many millennial there. Then they arbitrarily changed the rules and started voting while the Sanders people were still registering to get in.

Just like in the old days of the Democrat Party, Bernie supporters count for three-fifths of a person...

If the RNC has any brains, and I’m not saying they do, they will be paying off Bernie supporters to inject chaos.

Democrats don’t have to spend any money. Ted Cruz will do it for them.

What’s even more stupid is the inability of real men to correct the problem.
