Truncated title.

Full title: EXCLUSIVE: Bernie Delegates Plot Commotion on the Convention Floor to Protest Hillary-Kaine and Challenge Kaine as Running Mate!

Disenfranchised Bernie Sanders delegates are talking intensely behind the scenes about how to disrupt the Democratic National Convention to protest the Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine ticket.

Breitbart News has learned that some groups of delegates are considering nominating a vice presidential challenger to Clinton’s pick Tim Kaine. Others are discussing a potential walkout by Sanders delegates. But Sanders’ speech Monday afternoon urging people to vote for Clinton seems to have damaged the plans, prompting some pro-Bernie delegates to work instead to quash the uprising. The Democratic National Committee is also working to quash the rebellion, with rumors floating that the DNC is trying to break up possible rebels by changing the delegate seating arrangements.

"Bernie supporters circled around to listen to his speech on video. When Sanders said that it is imperative to defeat Donald Trump, a group of Berners started groaning and shouting “Don’t say it.” Then Sanders said that his supporters should vote for Hillary Clinton. The circle of Berners booed and yelled “No!,” realizing that their candidate just sold them out.

“Hillary Never!” bellowed one of the Bernie supporters."

It appears that some of the Sanders supporters are going to challenge Kaine as running mate. They are not rallying behind Clinton as they are expected to.

Sanders has sold them out.

The question is what will they do.

No worries....the Socialist Dims have installed a BarryCade, surrounding their podium, to protect them from these pesky Sanders folks.

Bernie supporters are being identified and will never make it inside when Hillary speaks

The RAT revolution is out of control.
Bernie created a monster beyond his control.

And I am enjoying every minute of it!

And that will drive Bernie supporters further away from voting for Clinton-Kaine.

“The question is what will they do. “

They have nothing left to lose.

The DNC had the fix from day one. Their candidate was thwarted in blatantly crooked contests. I also think he was threatened in some way if he didn’t back Hillary. So his supporters are subjected to a sad display of him cucking-out on stage.

If I was the Bernie type, I would just let the dice fly and disrupt the thing until it completely collapses into chaos.

The question is what will they do.

What can they do? (Besides what they'd do anyway, leave a lot of litter behind, and sulk, and forget to show up on election day.)

I doubt these hippies have sufficient organization to make much of a protest on the floor.

Whatever. He already double endorsed Hillary.

One of the largest Bernie forums on Reddit with 226k bern victims just disbanded last night.

Agreed. The Bernie run is all over. His supporters will quietly either go away(50 percent), vote for Jill Stein (10 percent) or support Hillary (40 percent).

Maybe some will finally wake up as the cold shower of reality hits them.

Did they disband because they’re angry at Bernie the sellout, or are they now(barf) supporting Hitlery?

i think 10 percent will go with Trump because they realize the system is rigged and ultimately, thats why they supported Bernie.

Sort of their version of “Operation Chaos”. Electing Trump will definitely cause upheaval in both parties.

Their signs are being removed, all they are left with is shouting. Even a wall around the stage precludes them from storming the stage and seizing the mic. They’ve been cut off at the knees. Sanders abandoned them, the media wants nothing to do with them, and Clinton safely assumes they will be voting for her or not at all, so no worries...
