California Sen. Dianne Feinstein warned that Bernie Sanders' intention to take his candidacy to the Democratic convention in July could spark unrest similar to the chaotic 1968 convention in Chicago and the riots surrounding it.
"It worries me a great deal," Feinstein told CNN's Manu Raju. "You know, I don't want to go back to the '68 convention, because I worry about what it does to the electorate as a whole -- and he should, too."
Her comments were the latest evidence that Democrats are increasingly fretting that the divide between supporters of Sanders and backers of Hillary Clinton will be difficult to bridge in time for November's general election.
Earlier Wednesday, California's other Democratic senator, Barbara Boxer, said Sanders supporters should attempt "to change the primary process, but not to go out there and throw chairs and to put people's lives in danger because the democratic process as put forward and ratified by the two parties is being carried out."
Boxer said she felt threatened after outbursts and threats at the Nevada Democratic Convention from supporters of Sanders over the weekend....

Ho, Ho, Ho Chi Mihn!
The dem convention is going to be a bloodbath. Figuratively and literally.
Well Dear DemRats all your screeching about how disruptive and dividing Trump has been.. why looky here-ya— are those Libtard glass houses on the way to being shattered instead?
LOL! I'm stocking up on Boy Scout popcorn..........
It behooves us to try to figure out what we, as outsiders to this freakshow, can do to help stir the pot and keep the factionalism going on their side so that their convention is a mess.
Show us what Dem-mockeries looks like, this is what Dem-mockeries looks like.
The dem rats are about to feel the Bern:
Hillary! is inciting riots with her hateful, divisive rhetoric!
(why don’t we hear that about her, like how we heard about Trump? ... oh never-mind)
From what I’ve read, the organizers of the protests are telling trouble makers to stay away.
Right. That’ll work.
Wait till the BLM Bernie supporters show up, and the anarchists right behind.
Anarchists don’t care. They want to destroy.
This convention is worth pay-per-view.
Flipping back to the late 60s and the Democrats, once again we have them shouting: Bern, baby, Bern!
We can only hope that their is a great amount of chaos at the dimoKKKRAT convention and it tears their party apart.
Republicans didn’t have that problem in 1976 or 1968.
BERN BABY BERN!!!!
If Trump had put something together like this, the MSM would have gone insane, but Bernie Sanders does it and there’s not peep from them.

I am a cable cutter from a few years back and while reading this thread I keep thinking how am I going to sit back and watch this clusterf#ck of a convention with no cable. I thought a PPV that offered multiple camera angles to cover the inside AND outside of the convention would be worth paying for.
Isn’t it ironic that the 60s - 70s communist agitators and community organizers that brought you the 60s and 70s riots are now trying to preclude riots against themselves!!!!!
May not be able to tell in that section of Philly.
I wonder how violent it will be, and whether it results in nomination of Bernie instead of Hillary.
