NBC Philadelphia ^ | 7/26/2016 | Brian X. McCrone

Dozens of Bernie Sanders delegates walked out of their Democratic National Convention and many promised to leave the political party in protest.

Vincent Venditti, a George delegate pledged to Sanders, said outside the Wells Fargo Center that he considers himself an independent effectively immediately.

Their protest and subsequent exodus from the Democratic Party is in line with hundreds of protesters outside the security perimeter, who said Hillary Clinton's nomination as the Democratic candidate for president would prompt them to quit the party.

Wait, how can that be? CNN just “reported” that the Sanders people were on board with Hillary, and all is peace and love and unicorns, thanks to Donna Brazile’s outreach.

“The DNC has actually been working the sound system to mute boos and insert canned applause.”

I don’t doubt it! Someone opined here a day or so ago that “they were like a bunch of six-legged cats trying to cover a 15 inch turd!” Talk about transparent dishonesty and crookedless.

The DNC seized all the Bernie/protest signs inside the arena. Oh, so smart move. These people may not be willing to vote for Trump but I tend to thin they will just stay home instead and organize for the next election, seeking out a candidate who won’t sell them out like Bernie did.

“Dear Sanders supporters..
BERNIE TRICKED YOU. The fix was in ALL ALONG.

Yep. Ever since the “super delegates” were announced for Hillary there was no way he could win. None. The little socialist stole their money.

The Bern folks are climbing over the DemWall. These LibCades aren’t holding them back.

Poor souls....sold out by their leader.

Who could blame them? Their party leaders simply chose HILLARY for them even though the overwhelming majority of RAT voters liked Bernie.

Actually, they are fond of the communist way. They are protesting they want more lefty ways. The complaint is not enough.

Oh, and by the way...thank you so much for all those $25.00, $50.00, and $100.00 contributions. I know it was a sacrifice but we did come in second right? Maybe next time suckers.

Maybe, just maybe, it will be the Clintons who finally destroy the democrat party while Trump takes out the gop.

Mmmmm. On second thought, I’ll trust in God.
