From the Office of Chicken Little

I have rarely seen so many people in one place and at one time claim that "the sky is falling."

Just take a deep breath. As has been mentioned before, this is not a coronation, it is a convention. The idea that this was going to go off without a hitch is beyond reality. We are a big tent Party that entertains the widest variety of ideas and passions.

By Thursday, everything will calm down and we will see Hillary Clinton as the nominee.

Try to understand that this campaign cycle is much like the perfect storm. Bernie supporters see this campaign as their best hope of bringing their ideas to power. For them, it is now or never. Clinton's approval rating is low, Donald Trump has no hope of becoming President and Bernie's followers are passionate about their cause. I assure you that if you were in their shoes, you would not let this opportunity to express your deepest beliefs just pass you by.

Over 85% of Bernie supporters have polled saying that they would support Hillary at this convention. They understand that we cannot afford to have Trump in office.
