that the berners are planning at the dem convention in Philly.

Sanders needs to call off his attack dogs or he will be held responsible for the damage and injuries they will cause.

There are few similarities. The connections they are making between then and now are little more than personal fantasies.

If nobody comes to your war, you end up fighting yourselves. I don't think we should go to the war. Let them have it. Let them protest, inside and out. Have plenty of cameras ready. Anybody gets in your face, take their picture!
If they want to march in formation, open a path for them. If they want to scream, be silent. Give them deference and than let the supers proceed to vote Hillary in.
