Furious Sanders Supporters, Angry Media, Blistering Chaos Marks First Day Of Democratic Convention
Zero Hedge ^ | 7/25/2016 | Tyler Durden

Posted on 07/25/2016 6:13:48 PM PDT by lafroste

Democrats were delighted to watch as last week's scandal-plagued Republican National Convention lurched from one fiasco to another until.... the Democratic National Convention was on the verge of crashing and burning (and that is not a pun on the searing Philadelphia heat) during its own disoragnized launch among angry supporters, blistering temperatures, sheer chaos, and a fractured organization that has left Republicans stunned in amazement at a Democratic party seemingly torn in two.

As documented earlier, Bernie Sanders supporters disrupted the first day of the Democratic convention, repeatedly chanting and booing mentions of Hillary Clinton's name as the party's hopes for a show of unity dissolved into frequent chaos. Speakers in the convention's first hour struggled to carry out business as angry Sanders supporters roared their disapproval, drawing a deafening response from Clinton delegates, Reuters adds.

"We're all Democrats and we need to act like it," U.S. Representative Marcia Fudge of Ohio, the convention's chairwoman, shouted over the uproar.

I feel like watching a cross between Marx Brothers' Duek Soup and a Three Stooges comedy short.

By the end of the convention, the Bermites will either go Green Party (the Watermelon Party - Green on the outside, Red on the inside), join a commune, or kiss Hillary’s big ass.

The Democrat Party jackboot is coming down hard on dissenters and all true-believers will fall in line or else. I think a lot of parents of these millennial aholes will start cutting off funds for college, drugs, and housing if they stay off the Democrat Plantation.

These kids are batcrap stupid. No need to further brainwash them in Marxism. They ate it up by the bowl full with Bernie’s campaign jibberish - straight out of Marx, Lenin, Stalin and Castro.

Now there isn’t enough ExLax to clean out their brains full of crap. And there aren’t enough good paying jobs for them to sustain themselves without their parents’ money. They will either cave in and become good Clintonistas and hope for government jobs, or they will become public parasites, druggies, and career waiters. Just look at the human debris in Seattle if you want to see their future.

Let the little children protest, riot, piss in the streets, turn over trashcans or run nude down Broad Street. Much of America doesn’t give a damn about these Leftist Losers. They are more concerned with getting a job or keeping a job, keeping their kids in college, and having enough money to retire on.

An as Obama/Hillary look out over the decline of America, they can collectively say, with pride, “Yes we did”.

For the first day of the democratic convention it looks very encouraging that they will have to shut it down before we get to her heinus’ coronation. Now that would be great Karma.

I love it. The DNC apologized to Bernie Sanders for the emails but not for rigging the primaries.

I’m trying to figure out the “fiasco” to which the writer is referring.

I can’t tell you how many times I played that album in my younger days.

Still the best album they ever put out.

The Democrat Convention makes the Three Stooges look like classic Greek tragedy.

Correct. They write about the chaos as if it were a bad thing. Happy Days are truly here again. There is nothing but upside for America in the train wreck they call the Democrat Convention.

You know, I really feel sorry for the next election, and anyone who will be involved in it. How can they top 2016?

Best Election Ever!

"We're all Democrats and we need to act like it," U.S. Representative Marcia Fudge of Ohio, the convention's chairwoman, shouted over the uproar.

Millions of Republican voters heard that and doubled over in laughter.

Poor old Marcia probably has no idea why.

I would respectfully disagree. Out of every ten Bernie supporters...I would take a guess that three to four of them are so disenchanted that they won’t be coming up in November to vote. Maybe one out of the ten might consider voting Trump, but that’s simply wishful thinking and the guy won’t dare admit this to friends or relatives.

So, in some way, it hurts Hillary because that’s at least two million votes nation-wide that she can’t count on. In swing-states, it matters greatly if you lost 50,000 Bernie voters in that state. Check out Ohio...513,000 people voted Bernie. If 150,000 of them stay home in November....Hillary can’t win the state.
