230. I was at the convention and I saw the booing and worst behavior

I was a delegate to the national convention. All delegates including pledged delegates have the right to change their votes. That is why real campaigns carefully vet their delegates. I was vetted and I help vet other delegates. The Clinton campaign was prepared for a series of floor votes and had an amazing "whipping infrastructure" in place. The booing of Congressman John Lewis was a planned stunt by the sanders campaign. The Clinton campaign found out about and warned her delegates about 20 to 30 minutes in advance. I was told by my whip that the Clinton campaign asked sanders to stop this stunt and sanders refused.

Again, these delegates were official representatives of the sanders campaign and were vetted. These delegates were supposed to represent sanders and the values of his campaign. I believe my whip that sanders was asked to stop this stunt and declined. sanders did not try to stop his delegates from some pretty horrible conduct. I have no problem with holding sanders responsible for the conduct of his delegates and neither will most voters who are fans of Congressman John Lewis

In addition to the above, my daughter was my guest to the national convention. The state party gave her a visitor pass for the first night of the convention and so she got to hear M. Obama. She left before sanders spoke. At the hotel, a group of sanders delegates cornered her and screamed obscenities at her and called her the c-word in order to try to get her to change my vote. These idiots were sure that if they were mean enough to my daughter, I would change my vote.

I was at the mini riot at the Texas delegation breakfast where sanders delegates marched in and demanded that pledged Clinton delegates condemn Clinton and vote for sanders. It was a fun experience

sanders spoke to the Texas delegation the next morning and instead of apologizing for the mini-riot caused by his delegates, sanders talked solely about himself. Again I was told by my whip that sanders never apologizes and did not care that his delegates were causing problems.

Good luck in selling your view that sanders was the true civil rights hero and that John Lewis deserved to be boo. The Texas and Georgia delegation shared a bus to the convention site and there were some Georgia delegates including some senior state party types who were pissed at this and the fact that Stacy Abrams was also booed by sanders delegates.

I really doubt that sanders will be getting any significant support from the African American community. Again, so far no or few African Americans have shown up for sanders events including one held at an African American church I am also on a private face book page for National Clinton delegates that is still active My whip worked for the DNC during the midterms and will be working for one of the candidates this cycle (not sanders). There will be ads on the John Lewis event if sanders is still in the race.

I still doubt that sanders will ever release his tax returns and at some point, Tom Perez has the absolute right to ban sanders from the primaries under the rules.

Again, good luck in selling your claim that sanders is the real hero of the civil rights movement and that John Lewis should be booed if you like sanders. That strategy will be as effective as the strategy of yelling at my daughter to get me to change my vote.
