The Battle of Bernie Is Beckoning

According to the Wall Street Journal, the City of Philadelphia has issued a permit for a four day demonstration by supporters of Bernie Sanders in FDR Park during the Democrat National Convention.  For those unfamiliar with Philadelphia, FDR Park is across Broad Street from the site of the convention.  The organizers of the protest say that they expect at least 30,000 participants for most of the four day convention.

Just think what this means.  If Hillary and Bernie Sanders are still going at it when the convention convenes, having 30,000 Bernie supporters rallying across the street is a recipe for conflict.  Remember, most of the Sanders supporters believe (rightly) that the Democrats rigged the nominating process in favor of Hillary Clinton.  If they feel that the nomination has been stolen from their candidate, they will likely be quite angry.  Just imagine what will happen if those 30,000 protesters decide to march across the street to the convention.  If there are 30,000 people chanting in the parking lot that surrounds the convention site, they will be heard inside.  If those 30,000 people try to get into the building to be heard, there will be unbelievable chaos.

The truth is that if the Democrats have problems with these protesters, they will have only themselves to blame.  For months, the party apparatus has pushed to support Hillary.  Everyone in the party hierarchy from Debbie Wasserman Schultz on down has done whatever possible to help Clinton.  Just a few months ago, the vice-chair of the party, Hawaii congressman Tulsi Gabbard had to resign just to announce her support for Sanders as her candidate.  If these "crooks for Hillary" got caught rigging the system, they deserve what they get.

Hopefully, all of America will get to see just how crooked Hillary and her crew at the DNC really are.
