I don't think they did, but I also think conference organizers did a pretty good job containing the bullshit, and Hillary had been priming her followers for a few weeks to support Obama. The difference this year was the sudden Wikileaks intervention on the eve of the convention, which seems to have re-ignited a Bern…

uh yeah no one…

The New Era needs its Barry Horowitz and Randy Wolfe!

"Reagan raised taxes"

Well you *are* someone who suspiciously parrots right-wing Hillary talking points and thinks 'DLC' is a devastating insult, so, yeah for now I'm putting you in with LaRouche.

'I've even heard of people who receive honorary doctorates demanding they be referred to as "doctor."'

Hey you gotta make sure you hit both sides. Trump is a psychopath, but Kaine is boring–both parties are bad!

It's almost as if people didn't know anything about Tim Kaine before declaring him boring!

Why would you want the Libertarian or Green party to get 5% of the vote? Look up 'Reform Party' and see how well that worked when they crushed the threshold.
