Bernie Sanders Delegate Says She’s Mad Bernie Sanders Had to Speak Last

by Tommy Christopher | 8:21 am, July 26th, 2016


MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow asked the million dollar question Monday when she wondered just what it is that Bernie Sanders supporters have left to be angry at, and she got her answer Monday night. While Sanders tried to tell supporters earlier on Monday that “this is the real world,” that’s apparently not the case for at least one of his delegates. In an interview with Hallie Jackson following Senator Sanders’ rousing headline speech, Vermont delegate Ashley Andreas said she was still disappointed because, among other things, the stupid Democrats made Bernie wait to go last:

As Rachel Maddow quickly pointed out, going last is actually an honor.

At least there’s a glimmer of hope for Democrats that lifers like Andreas will get it all out of their system after the roll call vote.

Someone here was saying that there is legal action against the DNC supposedly because Sanders was disadvantaged. Whatever it is I doubt that it holds water.

... to be able to view in Prime-Time.

Clearly, there is NOTHING that would have made this person happy. (But, perhaps, the very act of complaining about something ... anything! ... is what makes people like her happy.)

A childish display. And to think they actually wonder why nobody takes them seriously and can't figure out why they're ridiculed.

... Bernie was relegated to being part of the "warm-up act" for whoever the last speaker would have otherwise been. (How insulting and demeaning it would have been!)

If he'd been first, she would have griped and moaned that Bernie had been sent out to face a "cold" and "distracted" crowd that wasn't really paying attention.

I swear ... there's just no pleasing some people.

I see where they were complaining about Tim Kaine as HILLARY's(you know her.. the one who Won the Election) choice for VP. They wanted among others, Elizabeth Warren. who they were Heckling last night with.. "We trusted you!" I think Sen Sherrod Brown's name was mentioned.. a Dem from Ohio with a repub gov. Sorry hecklers we need him in the Senate and Elizabeth for that matter.

As Hillary said in Miami.. "Senator Tim Kaine is a Progressive who gets things done". She gets the last word.

1) Denial
2) **ANGER**
3) Bargaining
4) Depression
5) Acceptance
Some folks get stuck at a stage and have difficulty moving beyond their grief and loss.

Mind you, it's a stage that some people can't leave and then you become its slave. She wouldn't believe it but she's doing herself no favors by hanging everything on that anger.

Reminds me of when Lady Gaga's fans complained when she got the "and" credit on last years' American Horror Story: Hotel. They argued that since she played a major (but supporting) character, and the fact she was a bigger name than most of the cast, she should've been listed first, not realizing that an "and" or "with" credit is actually an honor, reserved for the most famous names or veterans in a movie or TV show.
