2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumSo now we find out that in Nevada there was only one violent act
and it was a Hillary Supporter. And then the media lies that followed.
At least we can see that the truth is starting to come out.
I really think that the Hillary campaign has blown this big time. If Sanders isn't the candidate, then Trump is our next President. And the polls show just that.

And that is only because I fear a republican controlled SCOTUS.

If those justices get confirmed, it won't be on Trump. It'll be on a lack of Democratic Senators, why?
Failure to control the Senate is going to be on DWS, not Sanders.

(1,735 posts)making death threats, using vile language towards party leaders and booing a sitting United States Senator are not offensive acts? Any chair throwing is but one part of a thoroughly offensive convention in Nevada.

Hillary won Nevada in Feb. The results of the convention matched the results of that election. The sanders people weren't entitled to anything more, especially since Hillary's folks showed up and voted at the convention in greater numbers than Sanders'.

But you keep on telling tall tales and maybe some will believe you.

(84,976 posts)...and the credentials committee was evenly divided between campaigns.
You lost in Feb. and that was confirmed at the convention. You failed at intimidating party officials there into reversing that correct result. You failed to steal those Hillary pledged delegates with the deliberate disruption of the convention. End of story.

(84,976 posts)"The unseemly tirade of Sanders supporters was a marvel, the kind of behavior more likely to be seen among British soccer hooligans than people claiming to be interested in politics. A chair was thrown. People screamed bitch! at Senator Barbara Boxer, a staunch liberal from California. Even the Nevada state Democratic chairwoman, Roberta Lange, who had endorsed Sanders, needed a security detail just to go to the bathroom in order to protect her from the hypocritical humanity lovers who seem to hate everyone but themselves and their idol.

I truly believe that there are agent provocateurs in these crowds. Just like COINTELPRO
