I can't watch this mess, and I'm angry

[NewHampshiriteGuy]

I can't watch this convention. This is a sh#tshow and it's Bernie Sanders supporters' fault. I think this election is lost. Enjoy Trump you privilege fu€kers!

These folks were NEVER democrats, they were never pro-Bernie, they were ALWAYS just anti-Hillary!

I am disgusted, just handing the narrative to Trump to ride. I'm done.

Rant over...

1. When I said lat week that they were anarchists, I meant it.

But PLEASE don;t give up on November. Show up and vote for Hillary. Those clowns acting like that wouldn't have voted for Sanders wither. That kind doesn't vote in elections.

4. When you have a polical revolution like Bernie did, some..

Are bound to get carried away. It doesn't dilute his message or speak for the majority of his supporters.

[NurseJackie]

7. GMAFB! "Carried away"? Seriously? That's how you want to frame it? Just harmless "over-enthusiasm"?

PS: What political revolution? There was no revolution. That's why Hillary is our nominee.

[procon]

9. Oh, it does, yes, it does.

What do you think this rancor is going to look like as it gets replayed ad infinitum for the next week? Don't think the Republicans aren't salivating to put video clips of this division in their next run of anti-Hillary political ads. How are voters going to react when they hear people they think are fellow Democrats booing our nominee?

[mvd]

16. Again, will it really? Been calm since. I think the convention will be mostly positive

The majority are respectful and Sanders speaking tonight will help. I just don't agree with you.

[procon]

17. You know as well as anyone else, that it's the most sensational events like this

that will make the news. Whatever nice words that were said today has been shouted down and overshadowed by the images of Sanders supporters booing everything from Sanders himself, to Elijah Cummings, to even the mention of Hillary's name. Its hard to see past all that to see glimmers of someone in that lot being respectful,yeah?

[mvd]

18. I prefer to remain positive

We are going to have a good convention and people won't worry about it in the end. Most Sanders supporters want to defeat Trump and it won't be the shouting down that will be remembered.

13. Sanders "Revolution"

Was just mental masturbation. Felt good, but wouldn't accomplish anything in the end. Even if Sanders was President, he wouldn't have gotten anything done like healthcare or education. His "supporters" would have turned on him.

[mvd]

15. Well, we'll have to agree to disagree

I am very happy he didn't get something like 4% and be marginalized. This was a big deal and gives us leverage. Hillary has even gone to the left recently on health care and college loans.

2. Listen, this is a vocal group but its not as big as you think. These are the DIE HARDS!!!

But I truly do not believe that in the end it will be enough to put Trump over the top. I believe most Sanders supporters have come over but lets be honest...we all knew there were going to be some die hards who wouldn't.

[1StrongBlackMan]

5. Besides ... I strongly suspect that after the convention ...

they will fade back into their little corner of the internet, as they will no longer have TV airtime.

[Squinch]

8. Do you think this will unite the party? I keep reading comments from the real Bernie supporters,

the ones who are actually doing what he is asking, and I can feel them hugely cringing in what they are writing. They are appalled at these idiots, and frightened about the effect they could have.

I really feel for them.

[MichiganVote]

10. I really don't give a good god damn if its one person. To stand there during OUR

convention and scream, "Lock her up!" is completely unacceptable. True colors all the way. And after all this handwringing over the past couple of days over staff emails that NEVER included the name or referenced either DWS or Hillary Clinton--this is an absolute slap in the face. WHo are the real facists? THESE people are.

The self identified Bernie Supporters of any ilk may have had their fun but no more...this has made people incredibly angry.

I know now that I made the right choice by supporting and voting for Clinton and I will NEVER trust another set of Sanders radicals again. Disgusting and deplorable.

[MFM008]

3. me to I just said it

We saw this in Seattle, people who want to protest and bomb throwers, fire setters.
They are giving that fat repulsive bastard everything he wants
I am so pissed I have a headache.

[Satch59]

6. F these Bernie Bots....

Sorry...but we saw this coming from this board...these nasty immature non dems fired up from Bernie all along and he took such a long time to come around and really did nothing to stop this awful disrespectful behavior.

I can only hope this ugly energy forms into a positive one...either by Bernie uniting them or just have them go home...

Thanks Bernie idiots for giving the Dem party a bad name...

[Sheepshank]

11. "All the way to the Convention". They took it there without Bernie.

Sanders has lost control, he never could have been a leader.

[democrattotheend]

12. The election is lost?

Wow, you must have a crystal ball. Last I checked elections are won or lost when people vote. But if you are ready to give up so soon after getting Hillary nominated I guess you weren't much of a supporter to begin with.

With supporters like you does she even need holdout Bernie or Busters or Trumpsters to bring her down?

[lancer78]

14. All this proves

is that Bernie could never have been a leader because he has lost control over his "supporters".

[ronnykmarshall]

19. Watch PBS or C-SPAN

I've got DNC TV on DirecTV on.

No interviews with assholes.

[tallahasseedem]

20. Come back...the unity is starting!

[bigwillq]

21. Long live freedom.

Great speeches from what I watched so far.
Folks should do what they feel is right, even if I disagree with them.

Freedom, baby. Freedom. America.
