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.

Protesting in the streets is a Democrat thing. Dems will be protesting their own convention as well as the Republican convention. Republicans don’t do street protests. The Republican idea of a protest is simply not write the check.As a Republican, I much prefer that route. Much less time consuming leaving me time to do the things that Democrats protest.

Breed a voting base of greedy, self-righteous breeders and eaters, staggering beneath the weight of their own swollen sense of entitlement, and... yeah. That just might happen, now that you mention it.

Last convention they booed God.

Perhaps this time God will boo back.

These Progressives are already ramped up to do far worse than the 1968 campaign riots. It will be as “When Baltimore and Ferguson met up in Cleveland, (with all their friends) looking for a safe place to destroy.”

Well maybe they’ll have time to recover after rioting in Cleveland and trying to bring the Donald down before they’re bussed to Philly. And you think the gopE is in disarray? I know some “bernadettes” and they are beyond POd at the dncE.

I wouldn’t flinch or be surprised if God “Sodom and Gomorrah(ed)” the whole convention site.

Heh heh heh. For the last year, the DemocRAT toadies in the state controlled national “media” were crying crocodile tears about the Republican convention. They should have been wringing their hands over what their own commie comrades were going to do at the convention of ‘RATS. LOL! I love it! Karma! Ya gotta love it!

They say they don’t want violence, but I think they’re counting on it. It’s the only way anyone will watch.

They can only hope that “The whole world is watching” might by some miracle be chanted in the streets, and the Philly PD comes out bashing heads-—preferably of blacks, muzzies, people waving Mexican flags, college age radicals and trannies.

We need to all keep in mind this is all going to be staged as part of their show, a desperate attempt at ratings, and to grasp some shred of a storyline out of the wreckage of Obama’s final days . . . and the Clintons’ final days.

OH, please. They loved those riots. If they weren’t there, they tell people they were.
