I suspect there will be a few delegates who end up being stripped of their credentials.

If they boo on the floor, they will be stripped of their credentials and escorted out. That sort of behavior is not tolerated in Democratic National Conventions, and a scant minority has already proved they will do this based upon some state delegation meetings.

It's usually only ever one or two.

I doubt even this year it will even reach 10.

Out of over 5000, that's pretty damned rare.

Usually it happens quietly, but with such heightened scrutiny by the media to find any little thing to whine and moan about, it is possible a camera will capture it.

If the media wants to make a big deal out of something noteworthy, let em. It's their poor standards showing.

But no need to do their work for em.

Because we don't need this kind of behavior on constant loop on MSM.

If they can't mind their manners (or never had any to begin with), they SHOULD be escorted out.

This is NOT typical Dem behavior.

...then so should the Democrats as well.

It's part of the democratic process.

People reject political parties because of the groupthink demand. We usually do a better good job of being open to a wide range of opinions and accessible to a wide array of people.

Several White Supremacists and NeverTrumpers had their credentials stripped.

If people just want to shut the process down, kick them out.

Don't let them back in. There are alternates to take their place. There is no room for allowing bullshit.

That would be the story for the rest of the week.

I can see the headlines now:

"Hillary pulls a Trump and removes those she disagrees with"

"Hillary accepts nomination after hosstililly removimg Dems for Bernie"

Although, in another thread you did suggest Hillary should pivot right.
