Hillary commits suicide in Vegas: Someone switched the registration of 64 Sanders delegates to Republican, disqualifying them from the state convention. Deliberate or not, the party bosses are committing political suicide by chasing away Sanders voters. Why do some Democrats fear democracy?

1. The GOP can really make hay out of this. Such stupidity.

[nadinbrzezinski]

2. It is not pretty

[elleng]

4. Right, but how many will actually SEE it?

Not too many DUers, it appears.

[NWCorona]

23. Not here on this site but I do think people are starting to take notice.

[elleng]

24. I hope you're right, NWCorona.

25. Key word being DUers here

... I watched several videos of the events, and one of the things that was eye opening was that while the Hillary supporters certainly celebrated when it was announced that Hillary had won, they quickly came to the support of the Sanders delegates when the leadership started to deny simple courtesies (more like actual requirements for any normal convention.)

When the Credentials Committee co-chair tried to present the minority report on the decertification of 64 Bernie delegates (which the co-chair said was without foundation, applied unevenly directed at Bernie delegates, and without right of appeal) and was prevented from doing so by the convention leadership, they Hillary supporters actually stood with the Bernie supporters in calling for the minority report to be read -- which the chair still refused, and was only allowed to happen when one of the speakers declared the right to give up their time to have the minority report read.

Hillary supporters seem to be able to recognize dishonesty when they see it .. best I can tell, it's mostly the DU Hillary supporters that have the blind spot for dishonesty when it benefits their wishes.

28. Thanks for the fair-sounding review.

I haven't watched more than a piece of one video.

29. Team Hill is a different breed here

I don't even put them in the same category, since they are getting official marching orders. They have the talking points the day before anything happens.

[nadinbrzezinski]

33. There is that

[NWCorona]

22. And it's lifting the veil to what some already know.

Your vote doesn't matter much when there's another agenda to fulfill.

3. "Why do some Democrats fear democracy?"

Because they fear losing $$$ and a stranglehold on power.

[jillan]

5. "Why do some Democrats fear democracy?" This! It's the same as when they tell Bernie to drop out

even tho she is not yet the nominee.

What the DNC has done this primary season is irreparable.

[pdsimdars]

6. They are in some frenzy of madness. . . what are they doing? They don't seem to have a clue.

I guess that's what happens when you are trying to push someone under FBI criminal investigation over the top? You get careless just like she did.

[HooptieWagon]

7. What Sanders supporter will vote for Clinton now?

The more she cheats, the fewer votes in the GE she gets, and the more she drags the ticket down with her. In all honesty, what I'm seeing on display by the Democratic Party is driving me away from down ticket candidates. They're committing suicide.

[mooseprime]

8. nothing says "abuela" and "kindness and love"

quite like a row of armed guards helping you railroad a doctored procedure.

the clinton campaign's "birdie" moment

14. I believe this is the photo from Nevada of which you are speaking:

[font size=1]The super-democracy freedom-brigade, seen at the state convention,
serving and protecting us last night.

[mooseprime]

16. That's the one all right

Emblematic of this whole election season.

And if this is the courtship, what might it tell us about the marriage?

[bvar22]

17. Astute....

and worth repeating"

"And if this is the courtship, what might it tell us about the marriage?"

[Enthusiast]

37. Plus one for truth!

[jack_krass]

42. And maybe a symbol of whats to come in her administration, should she prevail

[MisterP]

19. she keep swinging for the "Evita" button but keeps hitting the "Isabel"

[NewImproved Deal]

26. ...or Imelda.

[leeroysphitz]

41. +1. Love that. Nevermind the tax returns... Let's see Clinton's shoe closet. n/t

[Metric System]

9. More violent language from Berners.

[snowy owl]

11. What do you expect from a revolution? Vote authentic. Vote Bernie!

[corkhead]

10. She's not worried, She thinks the Trump hating Republicans have her back.

[snowy owl]

12. I think they do. This does not bode well for 2020.

[madamesilverspurs]

13. It isn't at all clear WHO switched them.

Were the lists from the state? Who had access to the program? Who had authority to make any switches?

Where I live, the voter registration lists come from the office of the county clerk or the secretary of state. Who provides the lists in Nevada?

[bvar22]

15. Cui Bono?

[Time for change]

18. That's what I was thinking

and hoping

And it shouldn't be too difficult to prove that it was fraudulent delegate purging -- a new idea for winning elections. Hopefully this will turn into a scandal of major proportions. Our "news" media will do everything they can not to cover it, but maybe they'll be forced to.

[seabeyond]

20. That is not fact. First prove registrations were change. Second, 6 or 8 were able to provide the

Necessary info and were seated. Third, only some had registration outside Democratic party. Others we refused for other rule violation. Lastly, 8 of Clinton's delegate were refused to for same reasons. If one is going to fabricate accusation at least get the obvious facts right or the statement just becomes empty.

[jeff47]

38. The delegates participated in the lower two levels of caucuses.

That means they were registered Democrats. Otherwise, they would have been blocked at those lower levels. To suddenly not be registered Democrats, their registrations had to be changed.

Lastly, 8 of Clinton's delegate were refused to for same reasons.

Yeah, 8 vs 64 is not biased at all.

[LettuceSea]

21. Not smart. She'll need all the votes she can get in NV

[Silver_Witch]

27. This will change nothing

Hillary supporters don't care when she or the DNC does - as long as she is elected - after all IT IS HER TURN - am I right?

They don't care what they do to our party.

[JesterCS]

39. This ×1000. Made a comment in another op

About how Bernie supporters get called whiners about NV, but yet the blatant cheating is excusable?

[wundermaus]

30. Our political system sure does have the stench of corporatism.

Our political system, including the democratic party is thoroughly corrupt.
Bribery works on most people.
And for those where bribery does not work, then there is blackmail.
And finally, for the rest who are incorruptible, there are "accidents".

There really isn't much more that I can say about this...
except we need to Fix this or be Crushed by it.

[silvershadow]

34. K&R. I would say NV was finally a bridge too far, but

they haven't found one they weren't willing to go ahead and cross, so...

[BigBearJohn]

35. I wish I could recommend this post a million times

[Enthusiast]

36. Kicked and recommended to the Max! What Greg said!

Oh, it's deliberate alright.

[Uncle Joe]

40. Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread, MelissaB.
