Why are they being treated so badly? It can't be incompetency since it's not the first time NV is running a state convention.

The top fundraisers for Clinton include lobbyists who serve the parent companies of CNN and MSNBC.
The National Association of Broadcasters, a trade group that represents the television station industry, has lobbyists who are fundraising for both Clinton and Republican candidate Marco Rubio.
Presidential campaigns are obligated by law to send the Federal Election Commission a list of lobbyists who serve as bundlers, collecting hundreds of individual checks on behalf of a candidates campaign.
CNNs parent company, Time Warner, is represented on Capitol Hill by Steve Elmendorf, an adviser to Clinton during her 2008 campaign, who is also known as one of Washingtons top lobbyists.

Media consolidation is only good for those that want to control the flow of information.
I'm so thankful for those journalists that exist outside of the framework of those 6 corporations.

(5,811 posts)The story just doesn't make any sense. I caucused in Nevada in 2008 and it was handled through the registrar's office at the county level. Delegates were selected on the basis of the results. State party officials are not involved at that level. Nevada has very strict LAWS about caucusing and assigning delegates. I observed this whether it was a Clinton or Obama supporter. Yes there was acrimony in southern Nevada but nothing like calling the process and results fraudulent.
I could have this wrong but these people were either registered Republicans or indies. I think they were Republicans. They then registered as Democrats but there was an extra step they needed to take and they didn't do it. 8 Clinton delegates were disqualified and I guess she was one of them. If I have this wrong please correct me.
I think you're angry but I don't think your anger is really about the process. I hope when we get the full story, someone will explain the anger that drives you to try and destroy not only Clinton but the Democratic Party. I honestly don't get it.

(15,512 posts)The eyewitness accounts coming from the Sanders team seem very dubious. Frankly I don't think we're supposed to be able to make sense of them because to the degree that we can it seems clear that there was no impropriety on the part of the state Democratic party.
