Sanders Backers Storm Media Tent As Clinton Accepts Nomination

Diehard supporters of Sen. Bernard Sanders stormed media tents and staged a sit-in Tuesday night minutes after Hillary Clinton officially claimed the party’s presidential nomination, injecting another round of drama into the convention and pouring cold water on claims Democrats are fully uniting behind their White House nominee.

Hundreds of Sanders backers, most carrying signs backing their candidate, conducted what seemed to be a well-coordinated march from the Wells Fargo Center to the media tents just outside the arena. They said that party officials were trying to confiscate Sanders signs inside Wells Fargo

Somebody needs to tell the snowflakes how the system works. They can still write in Bernie. It’s not rocket science.

No, no, you want them to do this. The old rancid lefties running the Dems don’t know how to deal with people behaving like they did in the 60s and 70s - and it makes them look both clueless and out of touch.

From the article:

"Polls have shown that a vast majority of Sanders supporters already have lined up behind Mrs. Clinton, but some Sanders delegates will not fall in line."

Every one of those polls was taken before the email dump.

none of that on the MSM

DNC draws larger audience.

Moochelle gives speech of the century, after bernie’s speech of the century but before Clinton’s speech of the century, and of course Booker’s earlier speech of the century

Very peaceful and cohesive convention

The russians did it

This is what democracy looks like ...NY Times

It’s too bad John Belushi wasn’t still around so he could have smashed Paul Simon’s guitar last night.

.....clinton’s speech of the century....

You may have noticed that Bill clinton was wagging his finger all during his “speech of the century”.

As those of us who were around for the 1990s know—when Bill clinton wags his finger, HE’S LYING!!!!

Look Trump is our Bernie. He is a guy that we did not vet. We did not care. We just know that he is not with them. And them is the lobbyist, the media, and the party. Trump is the other guy. And it sounds funny but, that is good enough. The other guy is really, really important right now. Because the other guy, is the pro democracy guy, whether he knows it or not. Its really not about him. Its about us and democracy.

The democrats are just figuring that out. The Russians know it. The British know it. The Trump fans know it. But the Sanders fans are just now working it out. Sanders is not the end-all-be-all. Sanders is the movement that says Hillary is corrupt and we will use the system we learned about in High School to change the corruption.

Its not about Sanders. Its not about Trump. Its about Democracy here in America. If we want it we need Trump or Bernie. I prefer Trump. But we need anybody but Hillary. We need anybody but Bush. We need to be able to vote in a president ourselves.

I have noticed that the media and parties don’t understand simple civics. Or maybe they understand too well. Maybe there was a revolution here in the US and we did not know about it. And worse yet. We lost. Its like Turkey. We just figured out the coup. Now we are rounding up those who took over.

We are slow. The democrats are slower. But we have figured it out. And we are pissed. And after having a baseball owner and a guy who never had a real full time job as the last two presidents. I think we will get by with Trump or Bernie. At least we elected one of them.

The were cheated in a corrupt system. They believed their vote counted. I don’t blame them for being upset. We should all be upset when this happens.

What is funny is that he sold them all out and they have no idea.

They just need to stop and think and they would see that Bernie was and is as much a part of the system as the rest of the DNC otherwise he would not have folded like he did.

I mean it is in the emails.

They fight for their man with the gas contained in their gluten free bellies. God bless these stinky hose hounds, they’re fighting for their right to free stuff, and also displaying severe daddy issues for the world to see.
