5. The certification committee was bipartisan. It's not their fault that some Bernie delegates decided

to change their registration to spite the Democratic party.

The reason it sounds like the "nays" are louder is because the camera is in the middle of the Sanders side. Trying to judge which side is louder from there is just stupid. The rules were followed, and the chair found that the "ayes" were more numerous. And it's not surprising that the ayes won because there were more Clinton people there than Sanders people.

The Bernie there people seem to think that if they jump around and call people sexist slurs, that makes their votes count more. It doesn't.

The rules vote wouldn't have changed anything anyway, the bottom line is that there were more Clinton delegates there than Sanders delegates, and the majority won, as it should have.

Oh, and the guy conveniently neglects to mention the death threats and the chair throwing. Just more Bernie propaganda.

This sure makes it pretty clear to me pangaia May 2016 #1
