Any way you slice it, the Democratic National Convention coming up in Philadelphia in late July promise to be tumultuous.

Though Hillary Clinton and the party insiders long ago expected the 2016 primary to be a formality (which conspicuously few hopefuls in the race), the grassroots voters are feverishly demanding Bernie, and vehemently against the establishment candidate who is widely known for her duplicity and dishonesty.

As California Senator Diane Feinstein makes clear in this short and sweet video below, the establishment fears the riots and backlash that could come from a contested, or at least highly protested, convention as Sen. Sanders vows to continue the fight ‘until the last ballot is cast.’

Instead, she and other figures inside the Democratic party are trying to nudge Sanders into dropping in order to save face and avoid damaging the party’s share in the duopoly of political power.

Trump should buy the video and air rights to the Dem convention and make it a pay per view event.

I’ve been reading a lot of articles lately about how bad Hillary’s numbers really are, and the indictments etc, and how the DNC may bring in Uncle Joe as the white knight at the convention...

...Imagine the violence that would break out if they nominated Biden over Sanders after all the states he’s won. The Bern-Outs will start shooting people at the convention, and I hope the cops don’t get involved, because you know... #BlackLivesMatter

Ah, the 1968 riots were outside of the convention.

The Democrats are afraid of riots inside the convention in 2016.

Won't be quite the same without this old Democrat Pol on hand. Wonder who can stand in for him this year?

During the Palm Beach recount I was at the Commission building along with about 8000 other conservatives demanding their hanging chad bull shit end.
From there it went to Miami where pubbies also took a stand.
Miami commissioners were afraid for their lives.
