13. Why so defensive all of a sudden? Nobody said what you're implying they did. But you know that.

There is a rabid, unhinged faction of his erstwhle "followers" who are dead set on disrupting this convention and discrediting the Dem ticket.

And, I'm sorry, but your contention that this is just "convention business as usual" is pure, ordorous bullshit.

"LOCK HER UP" and "HILLARY FOR PRISON" are NOT your average convention slogan.
