The Nevada Democratic Convention
Nevada has a three part system for selecting delegates. The first part that was covered on TV was won by Clinton. The second part, the county caucuses, that was covered by local newspapers in Nevada, was won by Sanders. The state convention that chooses the actual delegates was not either fair or transparent as Sanders delegates were ‘purged’ without any appeal process or explanation. This left the Sanders supporters very unhappy as it occurs following the fight over representation of the candidates on the committees for the national convention.
When they think they are being cheated, people get angry and strike out. Clinton supporters are not helping their candidate by screwing around like this. I know Obama did the same thing to them in 2008, but Clinton doesn’t need even the hint of corruption in the process.
