During a radio interview with John Catsimatidis, Ed Rendell, a former Pennsylvania governor and Democratic National Committee chairman, laid out his vision for how the convention would play out.
I think its gonna be a great convention, but of course the key to it is the Sanders people. Bernies gonna have his name placed in nomination; were gonna have a roll call; theres gonna be a demonstration in support of Bernie; hes gonna lose the roll call, he said. His supporters have to behave and not cause trouble. And I think they will, and I think Sen. Sanders will send them a strong message.

(462 posts)In a three-way race featuring Mr. Sanders and Mr. Bloomberg, Mr. Rendell said he might back the former New York mayor.
As a lifelong Democrat, as a former party chairman, it would be very hard for me to do that, he said. But I would certainly take a look at it absolutely.

Rendell can kiss my ass. Calls for unity from him are worthless.

(7,499 posts)They already lit the fuse by spearheading a rigged and corrupt primary, and now they want us to fall in line and march in lockstep?
Oh yeah, that's going to go over well.
