Related: About this forumThe overwhelming majority of Sanders supporters will vote for our ticket in the fall.
The disruptors weren't Bernie's fault, he asked them to stop, and this doesn't mean Bernie shouldn't have run.
There had to be a candidate like Bernie this year...otherwise, a lot of the most important issues would never have been discussed at all.
It probably wouldn't have happened if they'd held off announcing DWS' hiring in the campaign until after Philly.
Why couldn't they wait one week?

(12,504 posts).....the fact that Bernie had this deer in the headlight looks about him when his crowd shoved him a aside and did what ever the hell they want to do is confirmation that the revolution was never going to be controlled by him, it would take on a life of its own.
Even if the op wasn't alerted on, this post likely will be. Heaven forbid I should be allowed to voice an opinion, when the Bernie Sanders group at the Convention loudly proclaim that they are happier with a Trump candidacy and trust that candidate and will likely vote for Trump, and I cannot speak my mind on the matter.
