Published on May 15, 2016
Hi, I'm Dan Rolle. I'm a congressional candidate in Nevada. I made a quick video explaining the backstory behind the convention. It's too important to simply watch the videos and look away. You need to understand why it happened:
Basically, NDems enacted some rules that were designed to give convention authority to the state chair. You can read about that here:
https://www.change.org/p/nevada-state...
That group challenged these rules in court. That challenge was denied, essentially because the court didn't feel it should intervene in party politics.
Fast forward - The same group gets the requisite number of signatures to change these rules. Robert ignores this, and enacts her rules:
You can see where she does this here:
?t=74
Fast forward. Clinton wins by a few delegates, but over 64 delegates were rejected. By the board she chose. The argument is that with these votes, Sanders wins. Also worth noting, many were turned away because they simply could not find parking.
At the end of the convention, we motioned the party platform. I called for Roberta's removal here. My mic was cut:

Fast forward: The delegates are counted. Roberta denies a recount, closes the convention at her discretion. She then bolts off stage. This, while being flanked by police.
Most of the videos are here:

Your feelings about the establishment are RIGHT! Don't let their on-going mind tricks pull the wool over your eyes. Don't let them discourage you by causing you to question your own perceptions. That is exactly what they are trying to do.
And keep in mind: HILLARY IS A WEAK CANDIDATE! There is so much at risk right now.
