the deal with Hillary's Victory Fund. And this is proof of what we are up against. Liars and cheaters.

Are they really doing all this just to get a woman in the WH or is there more?

Hey Super-Delegates wasn't your job to do what is best for the country? I do not think this video is evidence of that.

... for spitting at the democratic process, which doesn't exist in this scenario. These are the faces of control and a-thor-i-TAY.

History will be shoved down our throats whether we like it or not. Sit back, tune out, and accept your lot in life.

That gavel will just as easily be smashed in your face when the time is appropriate. You observed the people who will gladly do it.

and probably rightfully (because I trust my source) of unfairness and corruption during the caucuses themselves.

I don't understand why Hillary and Bernie supporters were not called together BEFORE THE CONVENTION to make sure that the convention would proceed without all that chaos.

That they weren't is proof to me that the leadership of the Party in Nevada is incompetent.

You just don't let things get to this point if you are well organized and realistic.

This looks very bad for Hillary's leadership abilities. Are we going to have this kind of chaos at the top, this kind of lack of organization and consideration for unity in a Clinton administration?

Because clearly it was the Clinton supporters calling the shots in the Nevada Party, and they messed up royally.

BEFORE A CONVENTION OF THIS SORT, the organizers are supposed to coordinate with all sides, all interested parties to make sure there is agreement on the rules and an opportunity for all who should have a say to have it.

This could have been avoided. THE ENTIRE MELEE IS DUE TO INCOMPETENT ORGANIZATION ON THE PART OF THE ORGANIZERS OF THE EVENT.

Horrors. What a bunch of amateurs.

And their own blustering hate is the reason for their incompetence.
