the death threats made after the NV but I do not recall her saying this about the upcoming WY convention tomorrow although she did say the Sanders fans are calling some WY officials and delegates with stuff like -b**ch, and other nasty stuff.

I hope they learned their lesson from NV, and realize that the world is really not against them...just the majority of the voters in the country.

Democrats sweat next convention blowup
In the wake of a recent Nevada state party convention that descended into chaos, Democrats are sweating out a similar event in Wyoming on Saturday.
When Democrats meet in Cheyenne to select delegates to the July national convention, the same elements that created such a volatile mix in Nevada will be present: anger and frustration over Bernie Sanders’ delegate haul, superdelegates who backed Hillary Clinton before the state caucuses took place, and threats to state party officials.
Story Continued Below

At a gathering of state Democratic chairmen in Philadelphia last week, Wyoming was identified as one of the upcoming states that is most likely to have a disruptive convention.
"There was obviously a discussion amongst [state Democratic executive directors] and amongst party chairs about the upcoming states with conventions, particularly those that have the delegate selection parts, and the feeling that there would be a couple of flash points coming up," said a state Democratic party executive director who attended the meeting. "Wyoming is one that was thrown into the mix."

It's ridiculous to assume it's Bernie supporters. I live in Wyoming and voted for Bernie at our caucus. People were a bit upset at the end because the numbers didn't accurately reflect the numbers of supporters who attended. I found out later that the local county leader was a delegate from our county. It didn't seem very fair when there were clearly many many more Bernie supporters present, and it shifted the advantage to Hillary. But there was no violence.

I received a very nice email invitation from the state party leader inviting me to the convention taking place tomorrow. The email discussed that not all democrats agree on everything, but that we have to stick together to see democrats elected throughout the state.

I won't be going, and I hope people can remain calm. I really find it hard to believe that the death threats have come from Bernie supporters.
