LAS VEGAS (AP) - As Oregon and Kentucky queue up to vote in the Democratic presidential nominating contest, the pall of a divisive state party convention in Nevada hangs over the race.

"It was beyond the pale," said Democratic state Sen. Pat Spearman, a Clinton supporter who said she saw an elderly woman hit with a bottle amid the ruckus. "There's no reason to do that. That's the kind of shenanigans that they do on the other side."

The Nevada dissension does not change the likely outcome of the Democratic nominating contest, in which Clinton holds a commanding lead in pledged delegates and is expected to lock up enough to clinch the party's presidential nomination following primaries on June 7.

[Thinkingabout]

1. The actions in Nevada is not acceptable, the mob mentality needs to be addressed. If Sanders does

not put out a statement soon on this then I will conclude he must think it is okay to for his supporters to behave badly.

3. All burnie does is talk talk talk.. he better not be silent on

this.

"If Sanders does not put out a statement soon on this then I will conclude he must think it is okay to for his supporters to behave badly."

5. As I predicted a few weeks ago, Sanders staying in the race

has given the media their lede that the Ds are in disarray while the Rs are uniting behind Trump. I made that observation at a time when the Rs were in obvious disarray, and when it was already apparent that Hillary would be the D nominee.

Thanks to Sanders intransigence, Ds lost the opportunity to get a jump on party unity and to provide a sharp contrast to what was happening on the R side of the primaries. Now, we're solidly fitting the false equivalency narrative the MSM has been using for years as their go-to, "even-handed" reporting default.

Worse, the Sanders-inspired violence at the NDSP convention puts Ds on the same level as the violence displayed by Trump supporters.

Nice job, Sanders.
