So I switched from MSNBC to CSPAN, watched some raw coverage.

The booing seems to be calming down, or maybe the media was just focusing on it. John Podesta (not a favorite of the far left) stepped up and talked about Hillary's victory and thanked Hillary's supporters, and I basically just heard cheers. Possibly a little booing, I'm not sure, but nothing like earlier.

He's a great progressive Dem. No, he doesn't deserve to be booed, he deserves to be cheered, we need more people like him.

Bernie never conceded or formally Endorsed Hillary...He danced around it so he had a little leverage at the Convention....Not suspecting or wanting a disruptive hate mob reminiscent of Bush/ Cheney crowd when the mocked John Kerry.

it does not look as bad from the floor as on TV. But the heckling of Cummings looked HORRIBLE on CSPAN. I watched on that channel in real time and that part made me throw up a little in my mouth.
