I don't think it was fair to interview Sanders delegates on camera right after the speech...

and demand to know right then if they were going to vote HRC

This was an emotional night for those delegates, and they were going through a mourning process on camera.

Give it a couple of days.

It will all come together.

1. Mourning process? It's a fucking primary.

How many excuses can you make for these idiots? They're at the damned convention; they should have the sense and savvy to have pulled themselves together and act like Democrats by now.

Time to stop the negativity, no matter which side you were on in the primary.

Bernie did everything he could tonight to help HRC.

The evening ended well.

3. Come on. They're big boys (and girls). They should be able to handle the question.

Anyone who disagrees with Bernie on something so fundamental as to whom the next president should be is not really a true Bernie supporter.

I'm a former Bernie supporter and those interview-ees were clueless.

as I just witnessed in those last three interview with supposed Bernie Sanders supporters. My brain hurts that this is the best they could come up with.

8. It's likely that they made sure that they didn't show any Sanders delegates

who ARE willing to back HRC.

They can easily screen interview subjects to get the responses they want.

10. They did the same damn thing in 2008 after HRC's convention speech

Hillary gave an excellent speech on behalf of Obama in Denver, the crowd was roused, the anchors were praising it from the peanut gallery,

Yet some CNN or MSNBC (I don't remember) reporter just had to find one Hillary delegate who was crying, a grandmotherly looking woman who said while she wouldn't vote for McCain, she just didn't know what she would do in November.

15. I don't think it's fair they attend the convention

If they aren't supporting the party and its nominee.

A lot if us who put in hundreds of hours registering voters and turning out votes up and down the ticket would have liked the privilege of participating in the convention.
