Bernie people are actually blaming the police for
disrupting their convention and not letting them "vote".
Democrats have lost touch with reality ( it they were ever touch at all).

Chaos erupted at the Nevada Democratic convention on Saturday as supporters of Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders clashed over the awarding of the state’s 35 pledged delegates. Clinton edged Sanders in the Nevada caucus on Feb. 20th (52.6 percent to 47.3 percent). On April 2, however, the state party held its Clark County convention and Sanders mobilized more delegates than the Clinton campaign (1,613 to 1,298), which swung the delegate count in his favor.
At the state convention this weekend, the final step in the process, Sanders supporters hoped to secure the lion’s share of the remaining 12 delegates. Instead, the delegate allocation rules were abruptly changed and Clinton was awarded 7 of the 12 delegates. State party chair, Roberta Lange, told caucus-goers that the “ruling by the Chair is not debatable; we cannot be challenged and I move that…and I announce that the rules have been passed by the body.” Predictably, a chorus of boos followed and the convention was forced to end on a frenzied note.
What happened in Nevada is likely to happen elsewhere. The perception that the DNC has thrown its institutional support behind Clinton has only deepened the internal divide within the party. The Sanders wing is pissed off, and rightfully so

What we are seeing is that both parties have spent years setting up the primary rules to prevent a populist, non establishment candidate from getting the nomination. We are just now realizing it because this is the first year they’ve have to use those rules. It’s all fixed.
“Airplane!” reference. ;-)
I believe it stands for Party Unity My Ass.
“Bernie’s mission was simply to make it appear as if Hillary had to “win” her nomination.”
Interesting theory.
People keep suggesting likewise of Trump.
I have to doubt it though, as support is vast and genuine, and both Trump & Sanders have an actual chance of winning. Why be a patsy when each could actually WIN the presidential election?
The MSM seems to be suppressing the facts about this incident and how “disruptive” it was.
That’s Mutley to you
Colorado threw gasoline on top of Trump's fire. It is too late for Sanders to win, but this will do nothing to help unify the democrats.
Very revealing of the RAT mindset.
They knew they were doing something wrong, so they pre-emptively pulled in some brown-shirt muscle.
Good. The more aggrieved the Sanders people feel when Hillary becomes their nominee, the fewer will vote for her, and some might even switch to Trump.
Here’s a great idea! Trump as President and Bernie as VP. Pidgeon hole the VP and don’t let him get loose!
PUMA = “Party Unity My A$$”
There were several people taking phone videos right from the event, and they are posted all over the internet. MSM can't keep a lid on much anymore.
Hey, Bernie -— Hillary! winning 6 coin tosses in a row, in Iowa, was your first clue as to how the Clintons operate.
The chair intervened to ensure that the person who got the most votes got the most delegates.
So was that right, or wrong?
The beauty of all this is that Hillary is being blasted by the special snowflake logic to which her campaign constantly panders. The left constantly talks about how people feel, and how that should be respected regardless of facts. Well, an outraged "revolt" by people whose candidate is getting clobbered in the vote totals is exactly what they deserve.
I heard that Sanders may go 3rd party...
Trump landslide coming.
I always thought it was “party United my ass”
