A large number of seats in MN delegation are empty...

[brooklynite]

...and the Standard appears to be missing.

According to David Corn, there was a "walkout" by some of the Bernie delegates.

That'll teach her?

1. I hardly think Al Franken, Amy Klobuchar and Keith Ellison would be OK with that.

Do we actually know that's what happened or is this just speculation?

[Wellstone ruled]

13. Something stinks.

Does not compute.

[LisaM]

2. Caucus state.

I really detest caucuses. I already didn't like them, but they encouraged people to engage in this type of behavior - posturing, trying to shout fellow delegates down, not listening to all the speeches that people worked so hard on......

[liberal N proud]

3. It reflects badly on them

And only them, Bernie did his part with his speech and nomination.

[Trenzalore]

4. Senator Sanders was a great democrat today

It really is a shame that people who were selected to be delegates to the convention on his behalf could not follow his example.

5. Meh. nt

[Starry Messenger]

6. About 800 walked out. Right before Mothers of the Movement.

Rather less than 5%, I guess. I won't say what I'm otherwise thinking.

[lapucelle]

9. Where did you see this?

[Starry Messenger]

17. Their twitter posts.

[lapucelle]

20. I mean on Politico or WaPo.

[Starry Messenger]

22. I follow news on social media.

Most news outlets have a report about the walkout now, I guess do a search? I'm on the phone.

[Person 2713]

10. Right before Mothers of the Movement? Really?

[chascarrillo]

16. You mean to say when the police chief started speaking. I wonder why MN folks would do that.

Couldn't have anything to do with Philando Castile's murder. No, best to assume that they're racists.

[NCTraveler]

7. Hopefully that's the end of the fart in.

They stunk. So much positive is happening now.

[BobbyDrake]

8. I agree with "liberal n proud," it's more a bad reflection on them than anything else.

Kind of a counter-productive method of networking, if you ask me.

[Brickbat]

11. As a Minnesotan, I'm sorry to hear this.

[lapucelle]

12. I'm not understanding the purpose of a walkout

[KittyWampus]

14. I don't think temper tantrums really have a purpose. They're just infantile expressions

of self-absorption

[RonniePudding]

18. Attention

The same reason children throw temper tantrums.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

15. Now we know why Amy Klobuchar "walked out."

She's speaking.

[kstewart33]

19. It's unfortunate but it no longer matters.

The BOBs will vote as they see fit. That's their right, and the way it should be.

It's time to stop trying to convince them or criticize them. It's time to direct our efforts to those folks that, if we tell the truth and explain why Hillary would make a fine president, they just might support Hillary.

21. At least they're not there to disrupt. their loss.
