Barbara Boxer & Hillary

[CoffeeCat]

7. I don't care if she's not a Bernie supporter

but she took to the podium and from the first word--began admonishing and lecturing Bernie supporters.

Barbara Boxer was more than welcome to give a pro-Hillary speech. That's what happens at Conventions. Supporters discuss and leverage the candidates they support.

Boxer, from the first word--decided to lecture put Bernie supporters on the defensive. This was not the appropriate venue for a smackdown of half of the people in the room--who were Bernie delegates.

All supporters in that room are delegates that each candidate has earned.

I just attended our County and District Conventions. I can't imagine anyone doing this. It's completely out of line. Our room would have erupted too. It's understood at Conventions that supporters of both candidates are there to work together on the platform and get through the process. Everyone treads very lightly out of respect for the process.

Barbara Boxer took to the microphone and did the opposite.

Doesn't mean that she's a horrible person, or that she's the enemy. But her actions were wrong.
