If those moronic anarchists disrupt this historic night... [View all]

I don't know, but they MUST be stopped.

Tonight he Democratic party is making HISTORY. Nominating the FIRST woman for president of a major party EVER. This will happen only this once.

This is a night to be proud to be a DEMOCRAT, and an AMERICAN. The country is taking a GIGANTIC step towards EQUALITY.

This is a night to CELEBRATE.

And those stupid, entitled, spoiled brats have no right to damper this moment.
