I would never do what is described in the reports ... But I know most if us would like to see some evidence, outside of Hillary supporter's words, that these events even occurred ...

The chair incident is apparently a lie ... Didn't happen ...

What else didn't happen?

So, why did Democrats do such things?

Is the whole Democratic Party amoral?

The Democratic establishment looks to get what they wanted...to their bitter regret in November.

Okay, to the bitter regret of some of them. Others, I have no doubt, will be satisfied at a job well done: the non-puppet in the race kept safely away from the presidency and the status-quo preserved in the areas it really matters (to the bottom line).

someone needs to tell them many Americans never, not once in their life, even if they vote in every election, vote for someone they truly admire and believe in.

That our system doesn't produce people we can truly admire and believe in and that what we almost always are doing is voting against the insane and truly destructive.

We can track a terrorist from far above the earth. We can listen in and locate anyone using a landline or cellphone.....

Put the tools to use, identify, arrest and try those making these threats.

But don't be surprised if they're not who you thought.

You won the Publisher's Clearinghouse Prize for Life.

I'm sure all those "Call Congress right fucking now" calls for action that we are so used to doing also netted some nutjob or extremely pissed off citizen of one political ideology or another. It is what it is.

Time to step aside if the pressure is too much.

Anyone actually taking physical action on any person, lay or public office should be dealt with by LE.

But hey, they have excuses for terrible behavior. It's someone else's fault. They also have the right (??) to shut down voices they don't like, and punish those that don't toe their line. Drink the cool-aid, or else.

And I don't see it a stretch that people like that would throw chairs. "If its not gift-wrapped in a film, it didn't happen". Everyone else lies.

Children. Conspiracy theories. Persecution complexes. Rigged. And my favorite - fewer votes and delegates mean Sanders is winning. (???) And Hillary supporters are so scared, shakin' in our boots.
