This is not a thing

As has been confirmed by our own DU people at the Democratic convention the group of Bernie "supporters" at the convention that are causing problems is insignificant to the bigger picture of the positive energy and support for our candidate Hillary Clinton.

This group is no bigger and no less a distraction than the PUMAs in 2008.
The PUMAs that attempted to smear the candidate that would go on to be the first black man to be POTUS.

Here we are again at an amazing milestone in the history of our country. The first woman to be POTUS.
Here we are again with a small and insignificant group that are trying to spoil the moment.
My point is that these type of things are not unique. Nor do they have an impact on the bigger picture or the outcome.
Just as Obama went on to be POTUS so shall Hillary go on to be POTUS.

What we should remember is that we are better Democrats because of Bernie Sanders. Decade after decade he has been there with us. He will be a valuable ally for Hillary moving into the GE and to her administration.
GOTV and vote in every election.
