WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — Contentious supporters of the two rivals for the Democratic nomination turned the selection of Nevada’s national delegates this weekend into a virtual battlefield, with the chairman gaveling the proceeding to a peremptory close and fleeing the stage while armed guards cleared the meeting venue.
The spectacle of Democratic Party officials railroading through a ruling favorable to Hillary Clinton while denying certification to some 58 Bernie Sanders delegates to the state convention comes on top of charges that caucuses and primary votes around the country have been manipulated to beef up Clinton’s much-touted lead in national delegates.

Trump has, if nothing else, ripped the mask off of the GOP and exposed them for the traitorous maggots that they are.
I am grateful that I lived to see it happen.
Dead wrong.
I chose Cruz (with Trump as my only available backup) after my initial candidate (Walker) embraced the open borders crowd.
at that time (late last fall) LIbbylu and a host of other Cruz partizans were already calling Trump supporters “sTRUMPets” and a host of other nasty names.
I attempted to broker a peace, because I recognized Cruz’s Canadian birth (even before we learned his mom had given up her American Citizenship for subsidized medical care during the pregnancy and birth) would be a problem. I thought that if Cruz went in as VP the supreme court could be forced to rule on Obama’s legitimacy (he had Indonesian citizenship as a child) in the same light.
Very few people who were for Cruz early joined in in calling for simple civility.
When we learned that Heidi Cruz was helping to write North American Union legislation for Goldman Sachs, and when Cruz hired Neil Bush I switched to Trump. After Cruz blamed Trump for the Communists, #Blacklivesmatter thugs, Muslims, and illegal aliens rioting at the Chicago rally I was pretty much done with him.
Zero people who weren’t telling the folks supporting Cruz to knock off the nasty names for Trump supporters at the beginning are getting anything they did not fully earn now. You reap what you sow, and going along with LIbbylu and cronies then earned a like return.
Posting histories show who is who.
So perhaps a little more Mea Culpa and a whole lot less pretentious whining (as if the ire the people who hung on with Cruz as he shifted farther and farther to the left was unearned) might be a wiser approach. Assuming reconciliation rather than. Dodging responsibility is the goal for any of the Cruz bitter enders.
What you will NEVER here in the State Sponsored Media is that Trump’s immigration stance is a winning argument with (guess who) BLACK VOTERS. Like white folk, no one needs CNN or the NYT to explain how importing the 3rd world is affecting America; especially in communities where moving up the ladder is a little more difficult.
Go read his statement on immigration. It was like he is/was talking DIRECTLY to the black community. Read it and you’ll see why they are hammering the ‘racist’ angle - that most folks aren’t buying anyway.
just my $0.02,
jimjohn - OUT (mic drop)
We’ll start with Ryan
In what way?
The DEM VOTERS will STILL pull the lever (do we DO this any more?) for either the Quixotic Socialist or the Haggard Witch.
It might influence Independants; but they aren't the 'PARTY' anyway.
The Republican nominating contest was orderly compared to the Democratic one.
Richard M. Nixon staved off potential strong opponents such as Michigan Governor George Romney, and swept the Republican primaries, easily winning the nomination at the Republican Convention.
Nixon ran as the champion of the "silent majority," those who rejected the radicalism and cultural liberalism of the time.
He chose the conservative governor of Maryland, Spiro Agnew, as his running mate partly to appeal to Southern conservatives.
Placating the South was necessary because Alabama Governor George Wallace entered the election as a third party candidate for the American Independent Party, running on a platform of extreme social conservatism.

HMMMmmm...
I wonder if there are any parallels here...
many of the Bernie kids will not go to vote for hillary
coupled with the loss of enough of her black voters, she can’t win
Bears repeating.
Nah...
They are unraveled from the getgo.
Merely a mass of disparate and conflicting coalitions, held together by the force of ME!
Much like the tangled masses of flotsam that assemble together in the Pacific Ocean...
The current dem party bears little resemblance to the old one other than that the party still is racist to the core. I am old enough to remember when the GOP was considered to be the “liberal” party and the dems were the “conservatives”. George Wallace left the dem party and ran as an independent because the dems were abandoning their old stand. The whole party ran a half circle to move to the left of the GOP. Now the GOP is simply claiming to be conservative while rubberstamping the actions of the democrats.
Some may have a hard time believing that the states of the Confederacy used to be called the “Solid South” because they were all taken for granted as being in the democrat column while the liberal Northeast was solidly Republican.
It is so sad to see how black people have been taken in by the party of the KKK. For black people to vote democrat is just wrong. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7wYBL8M8c-c
