1. Most of his supporters left early.

Maybe that's why Sanders didn't stick around.

[Evergreen Emerald]

2. It's been a long day.

They have been campaining all day

[George II]

19. A VERY long day for Sanders supporters - it started with them heckling and taunting....

....the Clinton supporters in the morning at they gtthered for their rally with the Big Dog and Katy Perry.

[RandySF]

3. Apparently, Sander's supporters already walked out.

[upaloopa]

4. I like Bernie but I don't like Bernie supporters.

Bernie supporters an so unlike Bernie.

Spoiled brats.

Maybe they had to rush out and start some online polls or social media pages.

[stevenleser]

6. FYI, this was, of course, alerted.

Will post results when they are in.

[upaloopa]

10. We have friends in other places.

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Broad-brushed disruptive attack of Sanders supporters. Inappropriate. Enough!

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sat Oct 24, 2015, 11:39 PM, and the Jury voted 1-6 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Can't wait to see if this gets a loaded jury. Considering he is commenting on the event walkout being rude, it shouldn't be hid.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I find your use of the word "broad" highly offensive.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Pretty mild. The Bernie supporter who alerted on this needs to grow a thicker skin.
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I can't really get too worked up about this when I have seen some of the comments that are allowed to stand on DU.

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

14. Well this kind of shows that not all juries vote on Bernie's side, does it not?

You're a constant complainer about juries being loaded for Bernie so I was glad to see this jury's result.

When I'm on a jury, I don't vote according to candidate preference, therefore I've long taken exception to your belief in stacked juries.

[stevenleser]

17. That you think this is a jury victory, and it is, shows how skewed things are. This is not alert

worthy or hideworthy at all. Prior to the primaries, this kind of thing would not even be alerted and if so it would be a 7-0 not to hide.

The fact that we are cheering on this jury result shows how screwed up things have become.

[George II]

18. FAIL!

[HerbChestnut]

8. Wow.

Just...wow.

[think]

23. Spoiled Brats. Yes. Nothing says intellectual discussion like calling opponents spoiled brats

[Evergreen Emerald]

5. Hillary is having a great time!

See can really work the crowd! Did you see her make a video for someone starting chemo tomorrow? Very cool.

[Armstead]

7. A new meme! Oh goody

[bigtree]

9. that's been true throughout the campaign

...O'Malley's probably the longest lingerer.

[askew]

16. Yep, normally O'Malley closes down the joint. Bill outlasted him last night though.

Even Hillary left before Bill.

[restorefreedom]

12. so? different schedules.

grasping at straws, there jennifer

[George II]

20. Huh? He had another event after the JJ Dinner ended? Yes, grasping at straws.

[restorefreedom]

24. i don't know his travel or appearance schedule and neither do you

all the candidates were there until the end of the function, and some here want to accuse him of bailing. they are the ones grasping at straws. typical. No legitimate policy criticisms, so they go after the banal and ridiculous. I'm not surprised.

[George II]

25. I've said more than once on DU that he was on stage for the group finale.

This thread is about Clinton and O'Malley mingling with the guests long after the dinner was over.

Sanders was still in Des Moines the next morning when he appeared on CNN.

[restorefreedom]

27. again, so what?

is there a mandated "mingle time"? maybe he mingled before the event. maybe he was at a house party earlier that day. bernie supporters have a lot of house parties.

jeez louise, if this is all people have to criticise bernie about, then he is gonna win big.

[George II]

29. It's not mandated, but if one wants to get the support of voters he should....

.......maybe he's not seriously interested in winning?

[restorefreedom]

30. is that the new meme? that he doesn't want to win?

i have a hard time keeping up

since we don't know the excruciating details of his schedule, we don't know about other opportunities he had to interact with voters.

he is in it to win, and i am pretty sure after all these years, he knows what he is doing. but if you are concerned, i am sure his campaign will be happy to read your email or tweet advising him of the optimum strategy.

[George II]

31. All the Democrats were IN the hall, and the event ended after 10:00 PM, so what other...

...event could there have been?

Hillary Clinton was in Washington on Thursday and was grilled for 11 hours, ending at 10:00 PM. She arrived home at 11:00 (CNN had cameras outside, before you ask how I know) and was out speaking at the Women's Forum at 9 AM Friday morning and made two more appearances on Friday before flying out to Iowa.

How much more more "grueling" could his schedule have been than that? Maybe being President will be too much for him?

[restorefreedom]

32. who cares???

it is HIS schedule, let him tend to it

but as i said, his campaign will no doubt appreciate a well thought email with some good campaign advice.....

as to the "is he too old" question, that does not warrant a response.

have a nice evening!

[George II]

33. No one has said anything about "is he too old", but regardless of his age, does he have....

....what it takes to be President? Does he really WANT to get the nomination or be President? The signs are that he doesn't.

[restorefreedom]

34. i applaud your tenacity, george

and he has always said he was in to win. your choice to believe or not. i do.

[PADemD]

13. Bernie is on State of the Union on Sunday

Maybe he had to catch a flight?

[George II]

21. The interview was from his hotel in Des Moines not far from the dinner hall.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

15. Please give him a break. Maybe he was tired.

When a party goes on too long I am always nudging my gf to leave.

[George II]

22. Maybe he had to get to his hotel room so he could wash his underwear and dry it...

...on the radiator?

[MuseRider]

26. You know what?

I think we have really hit the bottom of the barrel with this one.

What? You think he is lazy? You think he does not want to be close and talk to people?

Say what you will but he is working is old ass off and easily available almost all the time including in airports or on planes since he sits with us commoners. This has to be the stupidest thing I have read here all day and there have been a multitude of stupid things to read.

[askew]

35. Bernie's strong suit isn't retail politics.

He tends to cut out of these events early. He's done it multiple times. Hillary normally does too. I am guessing she stayed this time because Bill loves retail politics. O'Malley is really the only one who excels at retail politics.

[Comrade Grumpy]

28. So what?

I mean it. So what?
