(6,868 posts)Although Bernie's Vermont delegation is almost entire for him, they may try to angle it so that he does it in unison with the New York delegation, since Bernie is from New York.
So, they will have the New York delegation provide the delegates to put Hillary "over the top" with Bernie Sanders, born in New York, doing the honors.
That is, if it does happen.

(146,359 posts)Nobody. You're flat wrong about that. I hope he returns to the Senate even more determined to make change. I hope he runs for his seat again, as well.
Supporting one candidate in primaries does not mean hating the opposing candidate. It simply doesn't.

(11,607 posts)Not most of the Hillary supporters here, but there are some who are still bitter and blaming him for the few supporters who acted up last night despite all he has done to try to get them on board with Hillary.

(146,359 posts)behavior of some of his delegates at the convention. He has consistently called on them not to do that, as I would expect him to do. The convention is simply the official end of the primary season. The nominee has been known for some time. The convention's function is to present that nominee in a heavily-covered event. It's really more of a campaign event than an actual nominating convention.
Now, had the primaries been closer, then there might actually be a floor battle. But they weren't. Hillary won a clear victory. The outcome of the convention has never been in question since June 7.
Disrupting this even has no effect on the convention's results, but damages the party to some small degree. It helps nothing. It advances no cause. It is just bad behavior by a minority of Sanders supporters.
Sanders is not responsible for the behavior of every delegate committed to him. The responsibility to behave responsibly is that of each individual delegate.

(51,666 posts)supported Bernie during primary season and only now are supporting Hillary.
I bet some of them even hold onto their bitterness from 2008.
They need to get over it.

Can you link to the hate you are projecting onto DSB?

(11,607 posts)Even his strong endorsement last night and personal appeal to his delegates not to protest from the floor was not enough for many of you. If he nominates her, some of you will probably complain that he didn't wear the right tie to do so.
Bernie is not the only candidate whose supporters can't let go of their anger from the primaries.

Eight years ago, Hillary didn't get behind Obama for nothing.

(99,719 posts)According to Jonathan Martin President Obama asked her at least three times to be his SOS.
If you like I will give you the page number. I have the book he wrote about Hillary on my living room table.
David Axelrod said essentially the same thing in his book, True Believer.
