WATCH Chaos During Nevada Democratic Convention Raises Security Concerns


Democratic presidential candidate and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders is feeling the burn on social media after the hashtag #BernieLostMe started trending Wednesday in response to a group of his supporters who became violent at a Nevada political event this weekend.

“#BernieLostMe when he failed to tell the truth about dangerous behavior of his followers in Nevada last weekend,” Twitter user Tara Gold wrote last

I was only able to find 3 polls, all of them favored Clinton, within the MOE. What's funny is the undecideds in those polls. Those numbers were quite high in all of them, and it looks like they all went with Bernie.

However he was still expected to win it (especially with the talk here on DU). There was an article that someone posted from a 538-like entity (but it wasn't 538). I can't remember the org, but they called KY for Clinton and OR for Bernie before the primary. It was posted here, but I can't seem to turn it out.

Anyhow, I was wrong about the polling, and for that I apologize.

HRC didn't spend the past 35 years selling out to monied interests to turn around and get beat by "the people's candidate"... She'll throw money at the the problem - whether it's effective or not.

The real problem can't be fixed with money, regardless of the amount... It's just Hillary, and her inherent unlike ability. Well at least the version of Hillary her team has presented to the voters.

and even more when coming from an official surrogate.

Yes, there are morons everywhere. There were morons in the Clinton's campaign in 2008 (remember the PUMAs). And you know what, most Hillary supporters voted enthusiastically for Obama.

So, no need to follow the media in their attempt for sensationalism. Be an adult. Help Hillary win the general rather than turning Sanders supporters off.

Note: I listened to a Hillary Clinton's surrogate yesterday and her attitude was really turning me off. I will support Hillary Clinton because the alternative is unacceptable, but these types of screed by her supporters do nothing to make me happy I do not have another choice.

as the rest of Clinton's social media campaign?

Remember the abuela fiasco? And “How does your student loan debt make you feel? Tell us in 3 emojis or less.”

Honestly, it's embarrassing, like your mom and dad trying to be hip when your friends come over.

We can't go through this, where every democratic office holder on the DNC is subjected to this shameful,disrespectful behavior from people who aren't really apart of our party, most of them admit it. All they wanted to do, was high jack the party so they could force us to run un electable candidates like BS.

Bernie's revolution never captured the will of the majority of the democratic party, because after all he is a socialist and not a democrat.
