Truncated title.

Full title: EXCLUSIVE: Bernie Delegates Plot Commotion on the Convention Floor to Protest Hillary-Kaine and Challenge Kaine as Running Mate!

Disenfranchised Bernie Sanders delegates are talking intensely behind the scenes about how to disrupt the Democratic National Convention to protest the Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine ticket.

Breitbart News has learned that some groups of delegates are considering nominating a vice presidential challenger to Clinton’s pick Tim Kaine. Others are discussing a potential walkout by Sanders delegates. But Sanders’ speech Monday afternoon urging people to vote for Clinton seems to have damaged the plans, prompting some pro-Bernie delegates to work instead to quash the uprising. The Democratic National Committee is also working to quash the rebellion, with rumors floating that the DNC is trying to break up possible rebels by changing the delegate seating arrangements.

Exactly. I’ve often thought Anonymous and Conservatives have more in common than they do with Liberals. Sooner or later, that will come around.

“And that will drive Bernie supporters further away from voting for Clinton-Kaine.”

Indeed. Now contrast that with Trump’s move to give that fool traitor, Ted Cruz, the floor to hang himself. Turns out that was a work of genius. Ted Cruz was allowed to destroy himself on the national stage on live TV along with his traitorous cohorts, and in the process, intense anger became directed against the anti-Trumpers, which pretty much destroyed them as a functional force, and thereby helped to significantly united the GOP.

Trump really is WAY smarter than people realize, and a total genius at the political game.

Is this a convention or “The Peoples’ Congress”?

If the Democrats can’t even run their own “convention” how do they expect to run the country another 4 years?

You can compare and contrast between the Democrat and Republican convention and actually see the differences

Democrats were in power for 8 years and are pissed off, who is to blame for that? It is their own failures they are angry at, of course they will never admit to that

Donald Trump and the Republican party called the DNC system a rigged system and they were right, it is rigged, it is fixed, a show, Hillary was the nominee no matter what. Bernie got close, but no cigar. Anyone who donated to either Hillary or Bernie were defrauded out of their hard earned money. It was all a dog and pony show from the start.

Donald Trump is poised to get an even bigger bump out of the DNC convention, I don’t think that has ever happened in modern history.

What gets me is that the DNC didn’t even give Bernie a prime time slot to make his speech.

Bernie gave his speech at 12:30 p.m. on a Monday. To me, that’s a slap in the face. But I haven’t heard anyone mentioned that fact.

in addition to other options to force television cameras to document Democratic Party disunity.

I look forward to the sight and sound of a sea of humanity bobbing up and down bouncing on whoopee cushions.

“No worries....the Socialist Dims have installed a BarryCade, surrounding their podium, to protect them from these pesky Sanders folks.”

Those things would be easily breached by a mob of angry delegates. Then there’s the “optics” of a bunch of security thugs rushing in to try and maintain order. The MSM would have to start taking pictures of the baloons up in the ceiling!

Ya know that fraud sellout Bernie still had some cards left on the table. He could have said he would abide by the outcome at the end of the DNC while still giving his delegates a chance to vote on the convention floor. By bowing down to the corrupted queen he sold his soul and the Bern out supporters. However none of this is surprising in the least and predictable.

That would be hillaryous if the Bernouts breached containment and made it up to the stage. Hillary’s SS agents would suddenly have a very target-rich environment.
