This trouble at the Nevada convention shows that Sanders needs to be given the nomination to avoid any sort of problems at the convention. Nothing is worth any threats or violence, so if Clinton conceding is what it takes to avoid a big blow up at the convention, then I support that occurring.
It's too late for me to vote for Sanders, since I already filled out my absentee ballot, but I won't mail it in out of fairness to Sanders supporters.

Those who deny a peaceful revolution make a violent revolution inevitable.

(47,151 posts)Because the taint of violence in the movement ain't gonna work in a general election. Combine that with his ideology and its lose, lose.

Why do you think that is?

(36,926 posts)Just wait until tRump discusses Bernie's honeymoon in Russia and many other inflammatory events surrounding Bernie's past, which the right has conveniently ignored, in hopes that he gets the Dem nomination. The take-down would be fast and efficient.
Truth is, only Hillary can defeat this shit bag tRump.

(36,926 posts)My parents were strong Democrats and they would be horrified by Bernie's past. I still know many of their elderly friends and relatives, all of whom are similarly horrified. Sorry you are so uninformed.
