“And Trump University is about more than just bilking people-although trust me, you will get bilked”.

“Clinton understands that our diversity is one of our greatest strengths”, stated Sanders to a passionate crowd.
Still, a majority of those in the crowd cheered for the presumptive nominee when she was mentioned.
But later, in front of a national audience, Sanders also publicly lauded their larger cause.
Sanders supporters had a variety chants, including “Election Fraud”, “This is not what democracy looks like”, and “Wikileaks!” Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) said at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia Monday night.
After shooing Al Franken out of her frame at the Democratic National Convention, Sarah Silverman explained her support of Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential race.
Sadly, as reinforced both by his speech yesterday and the pet issues of his hardcore supporters in Philadelphia, the beating heart of that revolution was never about the areas where the Vermont senator overlaps with libertarianism. “We double down on them”, he said. Tim Kaine of Virginia.
“She’s like the only person ever to be overqualified for being president”, Silverman said. “The choice is not even close”. They eventually calmed down, thanks in part to a ME delegate’s impromptu speech and Sanders’ texts to followers Monday evening, urging them not to disrupt the convention floor. Among many other strong provisions, the Democratic Party now calls for breaking up the major financial institutions on Wall Street and the passage of a 21st Century Glass-Steagall Act.
“He’s like a Moses”, she said. She promised to work hard for a Clinton victory over Republican Donald Trump in the November 8 election.
“I want to be clear, we did not win this by selling out”.
“People get it – the system is rigged”, said Sen. “It’s victim-blaming. We are the victims of their fraud and their corruption and their cheating”, said Carolus, who cited the leaked DNC emails as part of his mistrust of the Democratic Party. The 30-year-old Californian’s left bicep features a tattoo of Bernie Sanders smoking a joint, with the words, “What a time to be alive” – a reference to Drake and Future’s collaborative mixtape – floating in the cloud of smoke. Fudge, the acting chair of the party, was among those booed as she greeted the delegates. Don’t be like the Republicans, she said.
“In the end, Donald Trump will unify us”, she added.
The conflict led to Lytle voluntarily turning in his convention credential, according to state party officials.
Hillary Clinton is set to accept the Democratic nomination for president Thursday night. Sanders gets that, and he kept Monday from being much worse than it could have been for his party.
Julie Ann Nitsch, a Bernie Sanders delegate from Austin, will cast her ballot for Sanders today, as Hillary Clinton is nominated for president.
And yet wounds are evident.
A problem for Clinton’s campaign is that Bernie Sanders’ calls for his supporters to back the former secretary of state are falling on deaf ears among some in the hall who booed her name. “The question now is, where do we go from here?”
I still have a slight, minuscule, microscopic hope that the Super Delegates are going to wake up and realize that Hillary can’t beat Trump and that Hillary herself doesn’t want the humiliation of losing to a reality =TV star, and not even a good reality TV star. I intend to be fair, I want to hear the varying opinions here.
Vice President Joe Biden, who was doing a walkthrough of the Wells Fargo Arena Tuesday morning, said that Democrats need to “show a little class” to Sanders supporters who are still stinging from his loss.
Garry Mauro, the Clinton campaign’s top representative in Texas, took the microphone and tried to calm the room. Lewis said she and others also felt punished in the past by Clinton-era welfare reform that demanded work but did not reward college. “Well, I boo Donald Trump”.
