Dems' new fear: Sanders revolt could upend Democratic convention (major Rat spat alert)
CNN ^ | May 16, 2016 | Manu Raju

Sen. Barbara Boxer, a veteran of Democratic politics, says she never saw anything quite like this before.

Loud cursing, shouting, obscene gestures and vile insults, including crude comments about the female anatomy. It was all on display over the weekend as supporters of Bernie Sanders turned the Nevada State Democratic Convention into chaos.

"I was not able to stop these people for doing what they did," Boxer, a Hillary Clinton supporter, told CNN. "Apparently they've done it before. .... This group of about 100 were very vocal, and I can't describe it -- disrespectful doesn't even explain it, it was worse than that."

Many Democrats fear that if Sanders does not rein in his supporters, the same ugly scene that occurred in Las Vegas last weekend could replicate itself in the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia.

"He should get things under control," Boxer said of Sanders, saying it was worse than the vitriol during the Bush-Gore 2000 recount. "We're in a race that is very critical. We have to be united. He knows that. I have in fact, called him a couple times, left a couple messages. I'm hopeful he can get control of this."

That mean old Commie needs to call off his dogs and let the corrupt old drunken grandmother steal the nomination ... or there might be a split in the Rat party ... and their convention could become a war zone ... and that would be real bad!

[”I can’t describe it — disrespectful doesn’t even explain it, it was worse than that.”]

The fruit of a political party that has turned from GOD. The Democrat Party has been given over to a debased mind.

It’s Sanders’ fault. After all, a candidate is responsible for the tone of his campaign, or so we were told...

“... apparently they’ve done it before...” This is your own rent-a-mob that shuts down bridges and shouts down speakers at universities. If you are going to use these snakes, you are going to get bitten.

That's because she's never ran as a Republican. This is SOP for DemonRatz.

Ms Boxer is shocked!

Doesn’t she see what’s been going in for the past few years?

An idiot.

That type of behavior is okay with her if she agrees with the protesters.
