Fury builds among Sanders supporters over stonewalling by Dem establishment

Did you know that Hillary supporter Barney Frank “was booed and shouted at as a "sellout" who should "go back to Massachusetts" by Sanders supporters at the Maine State Democratic Convention on Saturday? Somehow, the mainstream media managed to overlook this sign of the divisive passions rending the Democratic Party as its establishment strong-arms Hillary Clinton. Along with the incredible story of the Nevada State Convention where DNC officials fled, violence erupted and John Law had to be called in, signs are that the party is falling apart.

Yeah buddy. Gotta order more popcorn. STAT! I know there are a lot of PO'd 'bernadettes' here in NV. So, either they won't vote at all or they'll vote for Trump out of spite to teach the dncE a lesson. Either way, it's gonna be entertaining. I may even watch the conventions.

It is still early too to determine, but I think (with the Trump Tsunami and the “Hillary is a Crook” sentiment out there) we may be seeing a sea change of abject rebellion in this country over the establishment status quo as it has been on both sides of the aisle.

The arrogance of the elite does not cease to amaze. Did the Dems think they were immune? The tipping point for mainstream Republican voting fodder anger was the outrage in Colorado. And now the dem elite pull these same mind-boggling stunts when hillary is already assured the nomination?? They really don’t give a damn about us little folk, across the political spectrum.

Bernie is definitely getting schlonged.

It is funny to watch the Democrat Voters suddenly waking up and realizing how their primary system is totally, utterly stacked in favor of the establishment.

Hey guys, it’s been that way since 1972, HELLO???

Journalism is dead. Had never Trumpers or Trumpers rioted it would have been live breaking news on CNN for days on end.

Hillary's Colorado moment... Even though I've got most liberal media blocked on Facebook, the outrage amongst Bernie supporters is still leaking through about Nevada.

A few have responded that that's it, they're voting for Trump, consequences be damned. I've replied to a choice few of them... ‘It's okay, Hillary's likely already changed your voting registration to Republican anyway.’

A couple I've linked to the stories of other Bernie supporters at other conventions who also found their voter registration changed.

When Bernie officially loses the nomination in June his legions of supporters can’t all be expected to jump on the Hillary Broken Wagon. I knew the GOP establishment is dumb as sin politically speaking. I didn’t think the Dem powerbrokers were too. I don’t think they thought Sanders would be a factor at all, and they’re turning a blind eye to all those young voters flocking to Bernie.

2008, Hillary supporters complained about Obama thugs. One would have thought SHE was the Establishment then too?

Sadly I believe that if push comes to shove, Hillary can win just about all of them back by adopting Sanders’ “free college” proposal.

“Foolishly, the DNC is virtually freezing out the Sanders faction in the committees that will govern the convention.”

There will be war at the Dem convention. Count on it. The question will be whether Berny can get his people behind Hillary after being shafted.

The Bernies going after the commie ‘RAT establishment is one of the “media’s” biggest cover ups ever. The ‘RAT “good old boys” club is in the same predicament that the GOPe is in but the GOPe is the only story the “media” toads want to talk about.

I didn’t think the Dem powerbrokers were too.

Two possibilities.

1) They have to wait for Hillary! to dispose of Bernie!, before they indict and dispose of Hillary! and nominate their Dream Ticket of Biden/Warren.

2) They have decided to let Hillary! ruin herself in the general election, thereby completing the usurpation of the Clinton crime family by the Chicago crime family. The result that they envision is that Trump becomes President, then they pull every string available to them to wreck the country under his administration, and swoop in as the Saviors of Society in 2020. This presumes, of course, that Trump won't be able to handle all the planned country-wrecking.

A liberal friend of mine told me he posted something like that on Democratic Underground, and got himself banned for it (or so he says). Anyway, Trump needs to pick up on this, and start referencing it in his speeches and interviews.

Bernie needs to stay in the race and go to a contested convention. That way all of the fringe nut groups will expend their energy making the democrat convention into another freak show.

And they won’t concentrate as much on Cleveland.

The left is waking up to the fact that their nominee has actually 10 of the last 15 primaries and caucuses. That’s winning the Charlie Sheen way.

>>> Foolishly, the DNC is virtually freezing out the Sanders faction in the committees that will govern the convention.

How many of these Sanders’ supporters will jump on board if EW (the faux Indian) is announced as VP (either Hillary’s or Biden’s)?
