DNC Kicks Off... To MASSIVE Boos

The DNC kicked off with a Barney Frank speech. He was booed consistently throughout his speech. It seems Hillary Clinton’s name alone draws massive boo’s in this crowd. Cenk Uygur, Ana Kasparian, John Iadarola (ThinkTank), and Michael Shure, hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.

"The Democratic National Convention’s first day in Philadelphia was supposed to be a grand demonstration of party unity and shared determination to defeat Donald Trump.

But delegates in attendance didn’t get the message. Instead, just moments after the convention officially opened, it devolved into internecine warfare.

Though Bernie Sanders is scheduled to speak later in support of Hillary Clinton, after endorsing her earlier this month, there seems to still be some lingering resentment. Even the promise of a speech from Elizabeth Warren, a progressive hero to many of Sanders’s supporters, didn’t seem to be enough to placate Sanders die-hards as the convention kicked off Monday afternoon.

Every time Hillary Clinton’s name was mentioned at the outset, delegates booed loudly from the floor…”*

There is ONLY ONE THING she can do to stop us booing. Drop out and concede to Bernie Sanders and do it voluntarily. I guarantee the boos would stop.

Cenk's wrong. It's not the money.
There is _ONE_ thing that will stop the booing: _NOMINATE BERNIE._

That's it. Nothing else will do.

I understand Obama said "Don't Boo, Vote" in his speech which many people are tweeting or Facebooking. Well, hell many of us tried to vote in the primaries but experienced voter suppression/fraud but no one in the current administration or Hillary Clinton has acknowledged or condemned that to my understanding!!!

There is only one thing Hillary can do to get people to stop booing her: step down.

[Psychocatalyst]

What will it take for them to stop booing?

For there to be different candidate that isn't corrupt to be the nominee.

[CRITstudios]

I am so glad people are actually standing up and voicing their opinion. I know the super delegates (Almost certainly) won't switch their votes in the call and nominate Bernie, but holy shit that would be the upset of the century. He deserves this, we deserve it, but I know the system is broken and will not hear the voice of the people.

[TheLegendaryLinx]

I was a Bernie supporter now voting for Trump!! Democrats are a freaking mess!!! So disgusted...

[JackpotJuJu]

Nina Turner was right. Hillary or Debbie Wasserman Schultz should at least freakin' apologize...Unfortunately the damage has already been done.

[kcmn]

I have a feeling Hillary's going to say "Screw you, I don't need you" to Bernie supporters

[lesterthejester]

Hil-Ler-Ry, Hil-Ler-Ry. Sounds like, Hit-Ler-Ry lol.

[coffeebuzzz]

The only thing Hillary can say to get people on side is say "I quit".

[nitelite]

The best way to stop the booing would be for Hilary Clinton to re-employ Wasserman Schulz the day after the email scandal hit the news.

[ogcurious]

One thing Clinton can do to stop the Boos is drop out.

[cloudbuddha]

Stop booing. It is simple.... Place handcuffs on Hillary and walk her off the stage.

[NirvanaClay]

Proud that they are sticking with it...was fearful they would acquiesce...I hope they boo and protest the whole convention.

[knight]

She can drop out, That's all she can do to make me happy

Here's a riddle: how do you convince someone who thinks you're a liar that you're not a liar?

[godstolemybikejones]

twenty people at a time should walk on stage yelling Bernie won!

[stupidburp]

Barney Frank mocked progressives that he was ignoring them on purpose.

[pierce_alonzo]

Those people won't stop booing unless Bernie is the nominee, have a fun next three days.
