FULL TITLE: "DNC leaders flee Nevada State Dem Convention, call in sheriff’s deputies and hotel security as dispute over delegates escalates into violence"(video at link)

Bitterness and violence erupted yesterday at the Democrats’ Nevada State Convention in Las Vegas, as 64 Sanders delegates were disqualified, allowing Clinton to take 7 of the 12 delegates up for grabs. Party officials there ignored a motion from the floor and rammed through a vote according to the wishes of the Clinton campaign. It’s almost as if the Hillary faction genuinely fears for the nomination it supposedly has sewn up.

Along the way Barbara Boxer was booed:

So, Trump probably at fault? LOL! Those burn-ee fans need to learn to get along and quit letting the Donald create such hate and discontent. Some of my acquaintances of the liberal mind set(yes, there are two or three) are beside themselves that the majority of delegates are going for the hildeast in Philly. Better yet, they boooed barbara boxcar. Sweet.

They really don’t care one bit how corrupt they look.

Hillary knows this game, she learned the hard way when running against Barry Obummer.

This is the inevitable result when your party is:

1. Utterly corrupt

2. Comprised of rabble-rousing protesters whose primary occupation is being offended and agitating for "progress"

If this is how Hillary runs the progressive Democrat party, imagine how she would rule America, with all us unwashed, unenlightened gun clingers and bigots? She would love to be dictator.

Trump went for the knock out punch to avoid the steal that no doubt would’ve occurred at the Convention

Setting up for problems later. Those Watters’ World Bernie Sanders voters will stay home in November or Find a beached whale to rescue on Election Day.

You gonna need a WHOLE lot more popcorn. Most likely the real fireworks were gonna be at the rnc convention but I’m not so sure the burn-eee fans aren’t gonna turn on the demo puppet masters in Philly and create a ruckus. To bad it’s not in baldimore where they’d have riot zones set up for their enjoyment.

Someone should check over at DU and see if this story is being “discussed” in their typical fashion. Ping to pj_comix.

The national Dem Convention looks to have a chance to be more ‘interesting’ than what the Rats have planned for Cleveland.

Articles and blog posts keep up the idea that the Republican party is in disarray. The Democratic party is a broken piece of porcelain glued together with missing and mismatched pieces. The very basis of the party is identity politics. What happens when all of those separate and mutually exclusive identities get together to find a unified platform? Fist fights. Chaos.

Some conservatives will stay home if their chosen candidate doesn’t make the nomination. (I think this inability to look at the larger picture gave us eight damaging years under Obama.) But not one will throw a punch at somebody they disagree with.

The people making up the parties could not be more different. For a visual aid look at the photos of the places where rallies were held. You would need to work hard to find trash after a Republican rally. But after a Democrat speaks the ground looks like a trash dump.

Rather, they would vote R across the board.

Ted Cruz was quoted as “This is what happens when Trump supporters infiltrate a Democratic primary!”

Next they’ll be beating each other with canes on the Senate floor, which happened in the 1800’s.

We need it written down somewhere-——maybe amend the Constitution-——that once you’ve served your term in the WH, you go home.

Everybody is sick of the power-mad money grubbing Clintons.
Eight years in the WH, and Billy’s still out there saving the world (gag); she goes from the WH to the Senate, the State Dept, and now a prez candidate.

Give it a rest. Go home and shut up.
