Why was it okay for sanders delegates to boo Congressman John Lewis at the National Convention? Gothmog Feb 2019 #15
It was an unforgivable moment. Booing John Lewis was shameful. CrossingTheRubicon Feb 2019 #18
Maybe because Lazy Daisy Feb 2019 #21
So you are ignoring the instructions given by sanders to his surrogates described in the OP? Gothmog Feb 2019 #22
Because I tell you why Lazy Daisy Feb 2019 #25
No one expected sanders surrogates to pay any attention to sander's instructions Gothmog Feb 2019 #43
John Lewis on the "Red Carpet". An inspiring American hero. George II Feb 2019 #46
I have been fortunate enough to have heard John Lewis tell the same story 4 times Gothmog Feb 2019 #85
Everyone can make mistakes and everyone should be able to be held accountable Kentonio Feb 2019 #90

Interesting, when someone says that about Senator Sanders.... ehrnst Feb 2019 #98
You never did come up with a video. Did you? Hassin Bin Sober Feb 2019 #27

So booing a colleague who got his head knocked in for civil rights was acceptable? Trenzalore Feb 2019 #23
Never said it was acceptable Lazy Daisy Feb 2019 #28
I don't think Bernie has any control over his supporters behavior Trenzalore Feb 2019 #32
I don't think any candidate has control over their supporters Lazy Daisy Feb 2019 #35
They tend to have control over the people they send to conventions Trenzalore Feb 2019 #36

Real candidates and real campaigns vet their delegates Gothmog Feb 2019 #77
So why not Sanders? (nt) ehrnst Feb 2019 #97
The fact is what he said was true. He never saw him. It's not "dishonest". As you point out.... George II Feb 2019 #49
If that's the twist you're going with Lazy Daisy Feb 2019 #63
Lewis: "I was responding to a reporter's question who asked me to assess Senator Sanders' betsuni Feb 2019 #66
That was the clean up statement Lazy Daisy Feb 2019 #71
All he said was that he hadn't met Bernie or seen him. betsuni Feb 2019 #74
