Sanders backers trolling Washington State congressional delegation Democrats

Backers of Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders aren't just fired up about taking on America's corporate titans.

They're now targeting Washington's “superdelegates” with an aggressive online campaign to get them to pledge their delegate vote to Sanders after his landslide victory in Saturday's caucuses.

Democratic U.S. Reps. Rick Larsen and Suzan DelBene, who are superdelegates who back Hillary Clinton, are getting hammered on their Facebook pages from those insisting they respect the results.

Comments are coming from constituents and Democrats in other parts of the state who helped Sanders defeat Clinton by a margin of 72 percent to 28 percent.

Just checked Suzan DelBene's Facebook page. The same people are repeating themselves over and over.

is one simple tweet or two from Bernie Sander's campaign saying "Stop harassing the superdelegates. We respect the process and will approach the situation on our own" and this would all stop. That's too difficult, I guess. Got to let the internet hordes harass.

We talk about right wing talking points in the past elections where the party line is regurgitated word for word from site to site, outlet to outlet.

The BSers have really learned how to mimic that same process, all working from a script and taking no prisoners.

... immature bullies having a temper tantrum.

In a way, it reminds me of the movie with "Tracy Flick" (Reese Witherspoon) running for class president.
