That says all you need to know about Boxer's speech.

The guy who picked up the chair and then put it down and started crying.

They said they were there for like 15 hours, and there were 3 bars serving drinks so who knows. I think this could have also contributed to the loud jeering and booing and raucous behavior.

They want Bernie out before the California primary.

The Democratic senators involved in this kabuki theater can't stand up to the Republicans in the Senate to get anything done, but they have no trouble belittling state volunteers who are standing up to the chicanery. They've thrown away their credibility with the boldface lies they are spreading. We won't forget.

They all have the names liberal or dem in their screen name...Im not buying it. They try too hard to convince us. Remember who really wants Hillary to be the Democratic nominee...MILITARY CONTRACTORS. Just something to bear in mind. They comment just like anyone else.

Hillary Clinton is one of the most disliked & untrusted Democratic candidate ever.

If they're having to use Rovian tactics against Democratic voters, can you imagine how enormous the pushback against Hillary is going to be when they get it from both sides in the general? We're talking about a huuuuuuge uproar.

They brought it on themselves & Bernie Sanders cannot be blamed. The DNC seems to making a lot of stupid kneejerk decisions based solely on fear, assumption, & blatant lies.

But usually those who manipulate keep doing it until it quits working.
Only then do they change the game.

It's making it seem like there is still a fight going on. That's not necessarily bad at this point.

Pushing this "violence" narrative is sickening.

Oh, she was askered my ass.

what an amazing young lady she is. Calm in the midst of it all. She's in the Ohio State senate now I believe, but this is a progressive who could make a great president one day. Go Nina!

I know the Bernie voters will have her back. She has been so great and such a big help for the Sanders campaign.
