Another view of your "great" convention. (AKA as a total flop) HT:LindyBill


Mainstream Media Hides Ongoing Hillary Backlash Within Democrat Party - DCWhispers.com

Here is a list of stories the Mainstream Media willfully ignored in its attempt to portray the Democrat Convention this past week as a success.

Success? Far-far from it.



Bernie Sanders had the entirety of his political and financial future threatened by party bosses loyal to Hillary Clinton:

The threat was apparently serious enough that he gave up any pretense of trying to have any significant operation effort on the floor of the convention. To add further motivation to get the socialist senator from Vermont to fall in line, a lucrative book deal is said to have been offered as compensation for his cooperation. A socialist who loves money? Apparently so.

A significant attempt was made to challenge the Vice Presidential nomination process:

Feeling betrayed by their “leader”, former Sanders operatives attempted to initiate a battle on the convention floor to challenge Hillary Clinton’s pick of Tim Kaine as her running mate. Team Clinton was “visibly panicked and outraged” at the attempted vice presidential coup, and used convention security to physically intimidate and ultimately expel, those operatives from the convention hall.



Hillary’s Thursday-night speech was interrupted several times by unhappy delegates:

Viewers might recall seemingly odd-placed chants of “Hillary! Hillary! Hillary!” during her acceptance speech. Those were occasions when delegates attempted to shout her down. The DNC and Clinton campaign had thought they had thrown out all of the “NeverHillary” members, but more and more continued to reveal themselves.



Democrat donors were less than impressed with Hillary’s performance and disgusted by the internal chaos during the convention:

The champagne flowed heavily behind the glass of the highly secured “elite” boxes overlooking the convention stage, and behind that glass, longtime deep-pocket donors were none too pleased with Mrs. Clinton’s performance or her campaign’s inability to control the ongoing discontent within the party.

“This isn’t good.”



Those same donors and party bosses were almost as disappointed in Barack Obama’s performance on Wednesday as they were Hillary’s speech on Thursday:

A certain New York senator was said to have summed up Obama’s speech with the following:

“He’s not even trying, is he? It’s always about him.”
