I can understand disappointment, but when they booed the prayer, I got mad. I am not religious but I do believe in respect and tolerance. That booing and chanting was not just obnoxious it was disgusting.

Not one of those people are worthy to use the name of Bernie Sanders for their cause.

That really pissed me off. Earlier today Sen. Sanders asked for his supporters to help get Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine elected.

Anyone who is booing now is NOT a Bernie supporter - they are simply disruptors and Trump supporters.

The people who are real Sanders are now turning their efforts to make sure our Democratic candidate gets elected. Fuck the rest of the assholes.

who are making our convention even more filled with incoherent, violent rage than the RNC was last week. The selfish, selfish people who will destroy this country and the world by handing the presidency over to Trump.

Bernie delegates interviewed on MSNBC who say they will NEVER vote for Hillary, she belongs in prison, they're voting for Trump. In front of the nation. Bernie delegates chanting LOCK HER UP.

There are many Bernie supporters who understand exactly what's at stake in this election, who are Democrats. They are not who I'm talking about.

MOST Sanders supporters are now willing to follow their candidate's lead and support Clinton/Kaine. Those few disruptors are not interested in accomplishing or building anything. If they are willing to vote for Trump, they are now working against EVERYTHING Bernie Sanders was trying to do.

Sen. Sanders needs to get up tonight and tell the people who claim to support him to cut out this shit. He tried this afternoon, but he spent more time feeding egos (his own and those of his followers) by touting what they have gotten done than he did telling them it is time for unity. They booed him when he asked them to support Clinton.

Unfortunately Sanders is not quick enough to come back right then and tell them to stop it. He pretty much let them boo, then limped off.

Sanders supporters aren't assholes, they realize that Sanders is correct in supporting Clinton, and they understand what's at stake in November.

The dipshits on the convention floor are squawking narcissists who really believe that the election is all about them. They aren't Democrats and shouldn't be anywhere near the convention.

this way. According to NPR, there's a new poll out that says a whopping 90% of Bernie supporters will vote for Hillary, but you can expect the M$M to concentrate on the drama. It's not about the country for them, it's about rating$.

And for these "man on the street" interviews being conducted by the M$M, they're 10-1 anti-Hillary interviews. Hopefully, by the end of the week, no one will give a shit about these loser assholes who are most likely Greens, Libertarians, and other such losers.
