Not all of them were booing or against Bernie.
Just a select few.
But yes, there is some truth to this. LOL.

This is what I've been afraid of for months.

Please don't become a leftist Tea Party...

You can't expect Sanders supporters to fall in line after these leaked emails. They are no where close to the teaparty....unless they start asking Obama's for his birth certificate.

But the thing about grassroots movements is that they are inherently autonomous. No matter what Sanders can offer Clinton or Clinton can offer Sanders, the supporters themselves will just do their own thing.

Sanders locked the Democratic party in a room with him, filled it with poisonous gas, ignored everyone else who pleaded with him to unlock the door, and then as his eyes began to water fell at Clinton's feet and said "help, Hillary, I don't want to die!"

It seems that Sanders created a monster which now he can no longer control.

These people who ignore Bernie and ALL of these progressive leaders care more about being in a special club/movement where people notice when they make a loud noise, than doing what's needed to protect our country and make it a more progressive voice. I respect those that want the party to be more progressive. I don't respect those who are trying to embarrass and destroy the party.

It's more than a little strange that anyone would be surprised by this after months of talk about "building a movement," "change from the bottom up," "this is more than just one election," etc.

So Bernie = Cersei, Hillary = Margaery, Berniebots = Sparrows

Can't wait to see what this convention has in store.  Could be potentially explosive.

[IceSpear]

At this point, it's hardly a political revolution. More like a deranged anti-Hillary cult. If she died tomorrow, they'd peter out in an instant.

This is a common trait among millennials, sadly.  It's not Bernie's fault.  Obama had a similar problem in 2008, though obviously it was different because they were on the winning side at that time.

Also very true.

The Sanders and Clinton campaigns seem to have gotten a handle on things, hopefully. If twitter is to be believed.
