Bernie Sanders Waiting for ‘FBI Convention’ on Hillary

Saturday, Donald Trump said that Bernie Sanders was staying in the Democratic race because he is waiting for “the FBI Convention” that could result should Hillary Clinton be indicted in the e-Mail scandal. He said Sanders is “as insane as a bed bug” and called the Democratic National Convention the “FBI convention”, Real Clear Politics reports. Right? Crazy Bernie, he does not give up. “I know that I’m in constant communication with the (Clinton) campaign on a number of items, but I can’t tell you I know where they are on this vetting process”, Becerra told CNN’s Dana Bash on “State of the Union”, after an awkward pause and an attempted pivot to Father’s Day.

Hillary Clinton may be the presumptive Democratic nominee, but the fight to unify the party and its traditional allies in the wake of an unexpectedly long and contentious primary is poised to go on much longer. “I think he is sort of saying look, oh, let’s hang in there”.

But even though Clinton and Sanders have agreed to work together to defeat Trump, some Sanders supporters simply can’t go along.

The FBI is conducting an investigation into Clinton for possibly jeopardizing classified information through using a private email server. The Democratic Party’s primary system was rigged against Sanders, they charged.

But periodically throughout the day, die-hard Sanders backers tossed barbs at Clinton. “The idea here is that we need people who are going to build local power and local resistance to whatever is going to come our way”. Donald Trump recently accused the Democratic National Committee of deliberately leaking the document.

“Now you have a couple of guys that were badly defeated and they’re trying to organise maybe like a little bit of a delegate revolt, ” he said.

Republicans held their state convention last month in Pasco, where party members chose 41 delegates to attend the Republican National Convention in Cleveland. Some are pushing for a “conscience clause” that would allow delegates to vote against the presumptive nominee.

Warren also had some new lines for Trump, who she’s attacked repeatedly in speeches and on Twitter.

“The extent of this effort is a bunch of random people tweeting about it, full stop”, said RNC chief strategist Sean Spicer. Although an urgent request for donations is not out of the ordinary in presidential races, this emergency request from Trump reaffirms this concern among Republican leaders. He argued that if GOP establishment types didn’t fully support his campaign he could self-fund, rather than relying on the party apparatus to help bring in donations.
