If there are boos for Warren or Obama tonight,

I will be writing off Bernie supporters forever. Both are going to push hard for unity around Hillary, as they should. Anyone who boos should have their credentials pulled at once, by their own delegations.

I personally wish she had been more political about young black men getting killed by police and poverty of children here, especially children of color.

about violence against POC. Also, her work,to end childhood poverty. And carrots in cafeterias don't count.

I like Michelle a lot, but they shut her up in 2008 after a fiery, amazing speech, and gave her friendly things to work on. And she complied. I'm hoping when her husband's term ends, she advocates for these things.

And you got more of an explanation than you deserve with your crude language and bad manners..with supporters like you, Michelle doesn't need enemies.

And dang it, so am I.

We have the frigging FBI and CIA working overtime to identify Trump's ties to Russian financiers, Putin, and the Russian mob.

And meanwhile, there are so-called Bernie supporters working overtime to disrupt this convention and essentially through their actions, promote the election of Donald Trump.

Imagine our US president having extensive financial and personal ties to these Russian figures.

This is unprecedented and completely obscene.

My hope at this hour is that the FBI and CIA can get fast access to Trump's tax returns. Those returns are the roadmap to identifying his Russian relationships.

Are NOT really Sanders supporters. They are trouble makers, just like all the trolls that showed up here on DU during the primaries. They may have joined the party to get where they are today, but they are not who they claim to be. REAL Sanders supporters know this kind of shit is wrong, and they are speaking out against. Nobody is writing of the "REAL" supporters.

I supported Bernie. He lost. I have problems with HRC, but will support her
with my vote because trump is too horrible. Most DU Bernie people feel the same way.
I am also a member of jackpineradicals, but I think a vote for a third party
candidate is a mostly symbolic waste.
