Unless they can be barred from the convention venue, they will certainly try to disrupt. They will be shouted down almost instantly, though, by the massive voices of the vast majority in the place. I guarantee it.

They have no "right" to be disruptive. It is, after all, a private event and they should be ejected if they disrupt.

Because they don't give a rip about the lives of Muslims and Hispanics whose lives Trump will make miserable.

And then they will be shouted down. And then, Hillary Clinton, who is the scheduled speaker at the convention, will continue her remarks, which will generate a great deal of applause and approbation.

The protesters should set up their own event and schedule themselves as speakers. That's not what this convention is about.

They are not entitled to any time at the convention to protest the DEMOCRATIC nominee.

They should go find Jill Stein and party with her.

Which is why I Dont believe they are honest not only about when they protest, but what they say when they are protesting.

Their efforts seem to have backfired. They've turned themselves into a big joke and it's embarrassing to watch.*



*To clarify, I'm referring specifically to the BoBs who were never going to vote for Clinton anyways, the ones who are now supporting Jill Stein.

Bernie asked them to stop doing that on day 1 but they threw him under the Jill Stein bus.

These people, just like the republicans, live on Hillary hate! They are going to get out of control tonight I bet.

And Hillary may have the speech of her life but all the MSM will be talking about is DIVISION!!!111!!! at the Democratic convention!

I hope I'm wrong but these nutcases hate Hillary with the heat of a million suns. I wish the DNC would revoke their credentials and not let then in the door TBH.
