LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Bernie Sanders says the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia could be "messy" but that "democracy is not always nice and quiet and gentle."

Sanders said in an interview with The Associated Press Monday that his supporters hope to see a platform at the July convention that reflects the needs of working families, the poor and young people.

He said he will "condemn any and all forms of violence" but his presidential campaign is bringing new people into the process who have never gone to a political convention before. He said he hopes "their voices will be heard."

Asked if the convention could be messy, Sanders said, "So what. Democracy is messy."

3. His hair is messy.

His clothes are messy.

His speech is messy.

His "plans" are messy.

His finances are messy.






Some woman should clean him up.

6. And wipe him out !

That should finally take care of Mr. Messy.

5. That's what I'am afraid of...he will stop at nothing....

[BobbyDrake]

7. If he runs his convention protest as well as he's run his campaign is there anything to worry about?

He predicted millions of new voters. That didn't happen. He predicted a revolution. That didn't happen. He continues to predict his imminent victory after the superdelegates negate the will of the voters and hand him the nomination. That's not going to happen.

What could he possibly say at this point that is credible?

8. Is he going to be doing all this "condemning" before or after the need arises? nt

19. Just saying this much will look like a clarion call to the fringe.

9. Clean campaign Bernie is proving to be everything but.

What a vindictive old a$$.

10. Big mistake to let him run under the dem party this is the real Bernie

Crashing and Berning down and we will not go down with him

[Her Sister]

11. Yep after a while people show their truer colors!

Glad we got know BS! and he won't be our nominee!

[nini]

12. I hope his campaign has some money left to pay for the police in Philly

If you're going to incite a riot you sure as shit better not expect the Philly taxpayers to foot the bill.

[fun n serious]

15. But they're entitled socialist! nt

[Rose Siding]

18. The DNC is putting out big bucks for security so...

we're paying. I'm guessing some of what I donate to Hillary got to the DNC.

[GusBob]

13. His ass is messy

Time for depends

[Thinkingabout]

14. Proves more every passing day Sanders is not a leader, his advisors

Is twiddling his puppet strings. Sometimes second in a two person race is good.

[grossproffit]

16. Bernie will only get worse in the next coming weeks. He disgusts me.

[Rose Siding]

17. This is very foolish of him.

It will bite him in the behind. Any "message" will be usurped by the anger. There will be violence and hate speech and his supposed condemnation will have all the weight of Trump's.

Mikulski, Boxer, Reid and other heavy weights have asked him to get in front of this. If there's trouble they will not forget and his future will be different than if he had more sense.

20. Some seem to not care about the party

[BlueStateLib]

21. the festivities start at 8 with fireworks and tear gas

[DemonGoddess]

22. Considering that

I do believe that the DNC is definitely PLANNING for there to be some stupidity, I expect if they really try to get out of control, there will be consequences that they will NOT like.
