Bernie’s full throated endorsement along with that of a full cadre of progressive stars from Booker to Warren belie the angle that the media will take of divisiveness and dysfunction. If you listened to the speakers at all yesterday you heard the same message pounded home speech after speech with unity and a firm direction. While there might be some disgruntled Bernie or busters, there is no divide, there is no real dysfunction in the party leadership. People trying to make it so after this are likely just looking for clicks or working for other parties, so don’t heed the nontroversy during the rest of the convention.
PHILADELPHIA — Bernie Sanders took the stage at the Democratic convention Monday night after tensions among his supporters threatened to take the entire week off track, delivering a forceful speech aimed at bringing his backers into the fold for presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.
“I understand that many people here in this convention hall and around the country are disappointed about the final results of the nominating process,” he told delegates and supporters at the Wells Fargo Arena in Philadelphia. “I think it’s fair to say that no one is more disappointed than I am. But to all of our supporters - here and around the country - I hope you take enormous pride in the historical accomplishments we have achieved.”
