They feel they're not being heard? The MSM, which they love to deride, has covered them every single night of this convention. A handful of malcontents has managed to promote the narrative that the Party is divided, when nothing could be further from the truth. Of COURSE they're being heard, and they know it; what they can't bear is that precisely BECAUSE they're being heard, they're being judged ridiculous and irrelevant. Poor babies.
