It’s no secret that some supporters of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) are deeply convinced the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination process is rigged, unethical and inherently corrupt. They’ve protested front-runner Hillary Clinton’s wins in a number of states under the guise that the rules are too restrictive and the party too partial for the results to be valid. Some have legitimate grievances about the primary process, while others are just tapping into conspiracy theories. The end result is the same: increasingly nasty attacks on officials in the Democratic Party. The worst bits of this surfaced on Saturday at the Nevada Democratic Party convention, when a near-riot broke out. The state party chairwoman, Roberta Lange, has been deluged with threatening and sexist voicemails and text messages in the days since. ... One caller even told Lange to commit suicide, in a voicemail her aide described as the most threatening one received. “You should be tried for treason, stripped of all authority that you think that you have. All your property, everything. You should be hung in the middle of town, till dead. You are a disgrace to the American people. You should just commit suicide. You’re a disgrace. You’re horrible. Nobody wants you in power. You are a dirt bag. You are the reason why we are voting for Bernie Sanders,” the caller said. |

Skipping leg day is the equivalent of a woman having an abortion. You're ashamed of it, and it was probably unnecessary. #MAGA #wallsnotwars | |

This and many other problems created by the use of delegates, and in the general election with the use of the Electoral College. Many Voters see this as a manipulation and corruption of the election process that they think should be one person one vote. But that would not then be a representative democracy, which is what we now have. Maybe it's time for a change. It would have made a huge difference for Al Gore, in the 2000 election and for the 5,000 men and women who gave their lives in the Iraq War! |

Time for Bernie to step aside for the good of the party and the country. He has made his point and he can keep pushing policy issues but this campaign needs to come to an end. |

Again, while Sanders isn't responsible for what his looniest supporters do, Sanders is responsible for at least making it clear that his campaign is not about violence or threats. Unfortunately, his pathetic statement on the mess in Nevada was so bad, I frankly wish he hadn't bothered to say anything at all. It is fairly clear that he either doesn't understand just how serious this incident was and how it might get worse or he simply doesn't care or perhaps he truly approves of these tactics. None of these possibilities are pleasant to contemplate. |

Salon.com does not understand the full consequences of the Nevada protest...Sanders supporters will desert Hillary in droves in the election...Hillary's political tactics have ended any hope of her retaining Sanders supporters in November...She has won the nomination, yet lost the election.....The chickens come home to roost...........

Sanders Statement on Nevada May 17, 2016 Email Link FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders on Tuesday issued the following statement: “It is imperative that the Democratic leadership, both nationally and in the states, understand that the political world is changing and that millions of Americans are outraged at establishment politics and establishment economics. The people of this country want a government which represents all of us, not just the 1 percent, super PACs and wealthy campaign contributors. “The Democratic Party has a choice. It can open its doors and welcome into the party people who are prepared to fight for real economic and social change – people who are willing to take on Wall Street, corporate greed and a fossil fuel industry which is destroying this planet. Or the party can choose to maintain its status quo structure, remain dependent on big-money campaign contributions and be a party with limited participation and limited energy. “Within the last few days there have been a number of criticisms made against my campaign organization. Party leaders in Nevada, for example, claim that the Sanders campaign has a ‘penchant for violence.’ That is nonsense. Our campaign has held giant rallies all across this country, including in high-crime areas, and there have been zero reports of violence. Our campaign of course believes in non-violent change and it goes without saying that I condemn any and all forms of violence, including the personal harassment of individuals. But, when we speak of violence, I should add here that months ago, during the Nevada campaign, shots were fired into my campaign office in Nevada and apartment housing complex my campaign staff lived in was broken into and ransacked. “If the Democratic Party is to be successful in November, it is imperative that all state parties treat our campaign supporters with fairness and the respect that they have earned. I am happy to say that has been the case at state conventions in Maine, Alaska, Colorado and Hawaii where good discussions were held and democratic decisions were reached. Unfortunately, that was not the case at the Nevada convention. At that convention the Democratic leadership used its power to prevent a fair and transparent process from taking place. Among other things: The chair of the convention announced that the convention rules passed on voice vote, when the vote was a clear no-vote. At the very least, the Chair should have allowed for a headcount. The chair allowed its Credentials Committee to en mass rule that 64 delegates were ineligible without offering an opportunity for 58 of them to be heard. That decision enabled the Clinton campaign to end up with a 30-vote majority. The chair refused to acknowledge any motions made from the floor or allow votes on them. The chair refused to accept any petitions for amendments to the rules that were properly submitted. “These are on top of failures at the precinct and county conventions including trying to depose and then threaten with arrest the Clark County convention credentials chair because she was operating too fairly.” |

Democrats have been too busy mocking and jeering at the turmoil within the Republican party to see the storm clouds brewing on their own horizon. Give em HELL Bernie
