The first mention of Hillary, chants of BERNIE that shut everything down for

[auntpurl]

almost a full minute. DURING A PRAYER.

If this continues, we are going to be shamed in front of the entire country. I hate these selfish people so much.

[madaboutharry]

1. They need to have their passes taken

and removed from the arena.

[chascarrillo]

2. Mighty Trump of you.

[zenabby]

4. huh?

So any show of assertion is now trumpy? How about the trumpy behavior of those people?

[chascarrillo]

17. There have been a number of posts saying large groups of people should be evicted from the floor.

To my mind, that's very Trumpesque.

[LanternWaste]

23. I often ask visitors to leave my place if they are not following the most basic rules of decorum.

I often ask visitors to leave my place if they are not following the most basic rules of civility and decorum. I'd giggle at anyone who didn't do the same (and make a point to avoid their place-- how smelly and filthy it must indeed, be).

However, I empathize with you that denying even the most vulgar to do and say what they will, when they wish, in whatever forum they wish it is "Trumpesque"

[jonno99]

39. The problem is they (your "visitors") are going to tell you that in their opinion it is also

"their place".

No, if they try to evict or rescind the creds of the protesters, it is going to get physical - and very ugly. This is a battle of ideas that is only going to be resolved by words or persuasion.

Bernie needs to get onstage and stay there until he convinces "his people" to see the light of what they are doing - and calm them down.

[BzaDem]

59. But they would be wrong, as it is not "their place" as a purely factual matter.

If they disagree, they can correct the mistake by showing their deed to the property.

Alternatively, they can conduct themselves as adults. We are not talking about someone's speech on account of their point of view. When we are talking about basic rules of decorum, it is not a negotiation. If people can't control themselves, and insist on acting like tantrum-throwing five-year-olds, they shouldn't expect much sympathy when they are treated as such.

(And I highly doubt it would get physical. If needed, their creds can be pulled tonight, ensuring that they are kept far away from the floor for the remainder of the convention.)

[Adrahil]

34. So you support mass disruption of the convention?

To what end?

[obamanut2012]

56. There are rules they have to follow

That they agreed to follow.

[Walk away]

19. They should enjoy all they want. Enjoy President Trump! Hopefully they are young enough to....

feel the full impact for the rest of their lives!

[annavictorious]

54. A show of assertion?

I guess it was a show of assertion when the mob booed Sanders today.

Give it up dear. Sanders got played. And now poor Senator Sanders has to face the very hard truth that this mob doesn't love him. This mob doesn't respect him. This mob used him, and now they're done with him.

[zenabby]

55. I'm on your side

Read my response again.

[madaboutharry]

10. They can show dissent without

acting like jerks.

[Powdered Toast Man]

22. My thoughts exactly. N/t

[RonniePudding]

25. Actually, it's mighty trump of you to support this

Another Putinite for my ignore list.

[Metric System]

3. They're going to give us President Trump. Ugh.

[still_one]

45. No they won't. The response to those folks was strong and fair. We will listen to different views,

your respect me, and I will respect you

[hrmjustin]

5. To disrupt a prayer like that is disrespectful.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

18. They got Debbie Wasserman Schultz's head on a platter.

Now that they have it some want to ---- ---- it.

[LanternWaste]

27. When we have nothing else of substance, we predicate our own vulgarity on the actions of others.

When we have nothing else of substance, we predicate our own vulgarity on the actions of others. It's an irrational behavior that the lazy mind justifies as warranted.

[Demsrule86]

47. Primary is over

But I guess some of want Pres. Trump in November.

[LongtimeAZDem]

51. This is known as a tu quoque fallacy (nt)

[uponit7771]

57. DNC was neutral and nothing shown has even come close to the opposite

[nolabear]

6. I managed to miss it. Was it on any of the cable networks?

[auntpurl]

8. I don't have a TV. I'm watching it on this livestream

https://www.demconvention.com/live/

[nolabear]

11. Thanks. I'm going back and froth between cable news and C-Span.

[Walk away]

7. If they keep it up their revolution is in the toilet!

If that's what they want, if Trump is their choice, then they will have to live with him and live for decades in the dark shadow of his Supreme Court.
I'm lucky, in 5 years I can retire anywhere (I'm looking at Puerto Vallarta). I don't have kids and the rest of my family is loaded. I feel sorry for everyone else if we blow this one.

[MoonRiver]

16. We'll be looking at property in Canada.

A friend who lives in Calgary says he knows the perfect condo for us. If Rump "wins" we're outta this hell hole.

[Walk away]

49. I've been looking at Puerto Vallarta anyway.

Friends of mine just retired early there and you cannot believe the place they are building for themselves with ocean views in a terrific neighborhood with tons of culture. Even their dog loves his new doggie day care!

Tonight we Skyped while they had coffee in a little café on the water while people strolled arm and arm along the promenade. If I could do it earlier I would go now. I already started to brush up on my Spanish.

That's why it amazes me that so many Bernie supporters, who are so young, feel inclined to make Hillary look bad and help Trump win. It's going to be their problem and not mine.

[MoonRiver]

58. I just don't feel that Mexico would be much of an improvement.

We have also talked before about getting a place in Canada, but if Rump actually becomes president, I think we'll do it.

[Walk away]

60. I love Canada. It's so friendl....

but a little too cold for me.

[MoonRiver]

61. My husband is concerned about that too.

But we would keep our house in the US. So unless this place turned into a police state we could go back and forth. It is that possibility that would push us to buy in Canada. BUT I really do think Hillary is going to win!

[Walk away]

63. I really hope for the sake of every American that Hillary wins...

despite the raging Bernie supporters intent upon ruining our Democratic party. I'm glad my future doesn't depend upon them wising up.

[MoonRiver]

67. Absolutely!

[HereSince1628]

9. Partisan chanting is pretty typical of conventions, maybe not coronation but conventions, yes

[auntpurl]

15. During the OPENING PRAYER, with an intention to disrupt?

Sorry, but bullsh*t. This is not normal. The incoherent, violent rage being shown is not normal.

[HereSince1628]

21. They break out all the damned time. It's very annoying to anyone trying to pay attention

to the agenda. But it's really very common.

Many of the Sanders people have been afraid of being pushed into silence and they are trying to make there presence in the convention obvious.

It's all part of the circus.

[auntpurl]

24. They are LITERALLY shutting the convention down now.

They will not stop any time Hillary's name is mentioned. This is WORSE than the RNC. This is not normal.

Fuck these selfish, selfish people.

[HereSince1628]

30. Yep. Historically, these are referred to as DEMONSTRATIONS.

Oh, such a decorum busting behavior!

Makes ya wanta clutch yer pearls, don't it?

[auntpurl]

32. No, it makes me want to cry.

In fact, I am crying right now. I have never been so frightened in my life. Trump will destroy the country and our world. How can you joke about this, make light of this? This is awful.

[HereSince1628]

41. That's too bad. You clearly aren't in the spirit of the moment.

This is really very common, I'm sure you can find such things in archival video

And I think they'll get tired and settle down, at least until someone arouses them to break out in chants, again.

[Walk away]

50. They will have a great time chanting away their days if Trump wins!

They can go down as the generation who chanted themselves into oblivion!

[geek tragedy]

28. really, I must have missed when Clinton delegates jeered the opening convocation, booed Clinton

herself, and tried to shout down the speakers every time Obama's name was mentioned in 2008.

Major consolation is that these people won't be attending any more conventions.

[LisaM]

33. Afraid of being pushed into silence?

I'm sorry, conventions are about pursuing the business of the party (including voting on a platform) and constant disruption and yelling for the sake of yelling is completely unproductive.

They got rid of DNC. They got a guy on the platform committee who isn't even vote to vote Democratic. They've pushed their phony 'rigged primary' to the absolute limit.

And yet they go on, and on, and on......

[LanternWaste]

29. "Under specific circumstances." You left out that rather relevant bit...

"Under specific circumstances." You left out that rather relevant bit...

[Lord Magus]

64. As I've said before this "coronation" bullshit is deeply offensive.

This was an election, and the voters overwhelmingly chose Hillary.

[HereSince1628]

65. Yes, your grace, there is a gale force shit storm going on

and the stuff is being released from every quarter.

[Stuckinthebush]

12. Disgusting

Chant all you want but be respectful. Time and place for everything.

[auntpurl]

13. They booed Barney Frank when he came out.

Unbelievable.

[HereSince1628]

26. No doubt he's been quite rude to Sanders followers.

Turnabout, ya know?

I think they'll get this out of their system soon. But it may take some marching up and down and around the aisles. Which is also pretty common historically.

[geek tragedy]

31. Either that, or they'll all go attend the fart-in, which is a better place for them anyways.

They can hang around their actual peers there.

[aikoaiko]

68. That booing may be the most justified from Bernie supporters.

[auntpurl]

20. Ok, this is worse than the RNC.

This is so embarrassing. I am in despair.

[bluevulcan]

35. They are selfish.

And now you know what kind of people we are dealing with. They are shaming us and ruining any chance for progressive movement. Even if Hillary won, this will just make a mockery of the far left, and encourage the nominee to ignore them more.

[HereSince1628]

43. Duh! Of COURSE they are. It's a convention THEY ARE DELEGATES!

They want to make a show.

[KittyWampus]

62. News flash- "making a show" isn't the purpose of a DELEGATE at the DNC.

[RBInMaine]

66. They are wild-eyed spoiled brats who need a good hard SPANKING.

[MFM008]

36. Fuck these selfish assholes

remove this if you want.
WTF????
They wont even let people talk.
Get them the hell out of the hall.
There is a time and place for everything
let people talk in peace.
That fat bastard is rolling on the floor with these people showing their asses.
I don't blame Bernie Sanders, they booed him as well.

[eastwestdem]

38. Young asshole punks.

[youceyec]

40. these are a bunch

of white, entitled shit bags. Hope they all diaf.

[OnDoutside]

42. That's the thing about Lefties, when they say "No class", they really mean themselves.

[still_one]

44. They are a disgrace. We are not being shamed, THEY ARE SHAMING THEMSELVES, and Bernie.

That they did this outburst when an African American Woman was speaking, makes it that much more despicable

Are these the same folks who spammed any person or organization who endorsed Hillary

[auntpurl]

46. It is unconscionable.

They must be the most selfish people on earth.

[still_one]

48. Hopefully they are starting to calm down, and getting into the groove. The speakers so far seem to

be very savvy how to deal with this

[bluedye33139]

52. They are idiots but will fail

The goal was never to strengthen the party, for this loud fringe of haters. They booed Barbara Lee!!!

[RBInMaine]

53. Diane Russell did so MUCH to calm them down. It's going much better now.
