2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumI'm more interested in June 18th: 5 state conventions
Iowa, Texas, North Dakota, Idaho, and Nebraska.
Iowa and Nebraska look the most promising for drama, but I sincerely wonder if Sanders will even have enough people attend to control any of his won states' conventions.

(15,951 posts)4. While you might want more "drama" I want to take the fight to Trump
those state conventions aren't going to change the fact that Hillary will be the nominee.

(145,510 posts)5. The Texas Convention should be calm-here is letter from Clinton and Sanders campaigns to delegates
I am proud to be a Texas Democrat and this joint message from the heads of both the Clinton and the Sanders Texas campaigns makes me smile
Fellow Democrats,
As we near the State Convention, we feel it important to address the growing tensions that have begun to divide our party. As Texas Democrats we must stand together against this sort of divisiveness and remain a party united in inclusion. Fortunately, in Texas we do not have the potential squabble over national delegates. The Clinton and Sanders campaign have been awarded delegates proportional to 65.2 and 33.2 percent of the vote, respectively, each received on March 1 and those numbers will not change at the convention. It is this dynamic that will allow us to focus on electing Democrats at every level and strengthening our progressive message.
To our Hillary supporters new and old, we too will continue the fight for each vote. Senator Sanders and his campaign have done a great deal to grow our party. As the campaign enters the final phase of the primary we must work in a positive and energetic manner. Donald Trump must never be allowed to assume the Presidency and we must all come together to prevent that nightmare from becoming a reality.
To our Bernie brothers and sisters, this is not a call to take our foot off the gaswe will continue this campaign until each and every voter has the opportunity to have their voice heard. But we will do so in the spirit of compassion that has guided this campaign from day one. We will continue to grow the tent under which this party sits and push the progressive agenda that has defined our movement. We can never lose sight of the fact that the things that unite us are far greater than those that divide us.
At the end of the day, we are one Democratic Party, united in inclusion, acceptance and cooperation. A party that fights for working families, for womens rights, for black life's, comprehensive immigration reform, and for equal protections for the LGBTQ community. The future is bright for Texas Democrats, but only if we take this opportunity to come together.
Lets do this,
