(1,166 posts)8. I wish Cenk had mentioned the fact that there was a motion that had been called from the stage before Lange
ran up there and closed the convention down in a minute flat. (A motion she had been trying to prevent from being called for hours.) That was also highly "irregular." But I guess those temporary rules she rammed through as permanent rules made her the decider.

(1,339 posts)9. there needs to be a Constitutional amendment to establish uniform rules and procedures
for all national elections. The states are out of control. This is a perfect example of the danger of state's rights.

a video that was filmed from the middle of the Sanders section? Does he not understand that volume dissipates with distance? I guess physics has just as much of an anti-Bernie bias as math.
