Because she wasn't willing to tear Barbara Boxer's throat out.

Nina Turner of Ohio (guest speaker for Bernie) now speaking, and the Clinton side noticeably listening respectfully and clapping her in welcome.  Hmm, slight difference from Barbara Boxer's welcome.

Nina Turner: "They keep telling us about math.  Well, I got some math of my own."

The final count should be coming down soon according to some paid $hill on reddit.

What I find most funny is that the Bernie cult was so confident that they had gotten away with stealing Clinton's delegates after the Clark County convention is that they were so blindsided by the Clinton camp organizing to take them back.

Btw, cross-posted from a different thread, and from before the credentials report:

I'm at the NV Dem convention right now, and state party chairwoman Roberta Lange just announced that she agreed the caucus system is outdated and fraught with massive problems.  She and the state party will be looking at moving toward a state-funded primary (crowd went wild) or "massively reforming" the party-funded caucuses (crowd booed).

Glad to see the wind blowing in the right direction.

THANK F[INKS]ING GOD!

Sanders supporters are spoiled and entitled in a way that only a movement made of white millennials could be.

It's funny how they feel so entitled to delegates that weren't theirs to begin with.

Can you imagine if Hillary took a chunk of delegates from him in Washington or Utah due to the archaic and byzantine caucus procedure? They'd be going ballistic.

I think it is safe to say we have seen the last of Nevada as an early state.

I don't follow.

A state who's process dissolves into chaos should not be giving an early spot on the calendar. Besides rumors are Nevada is going to be replaced by Colorado or Arizona as first in the West.

Nevada is always so irrelevant anyway.  In 2012 and 2008 nobody even cared about it.  Arizona would be a much better early state since it's a hotbed of so many immigration and economic issues.

Nina Turner of Ohio (guest speaker for Bernie) now speaking, and the Clinton side noticeably listening respectfully and clapping her in welcome.  Hmm, slight difference from Barbara Boxer's welcome.

Yeah this was my experience too, at my caucus the Sanders people who spoke were all politely applauded by the very respectful Clinton people standing around me (mostly women in their 50s and 60s and some younger parents).  The kids on the Sanders side of the room kept shouting at the Clinton people and talking during their speeches and seemed confused and hesitant about whether they should clap or not or they would smirk and say things like "I guess we're clapping now!"

The margin narrowed significantly once Bernie's core demographic rolled out of bed and showed up at the latest possible time.

They announced the final total immediately before announcing the break for lunch, meaning that the cries of disappointment were drowned out by the stampede out of the hall to the nearby food court.

Hey Bernie supporters, she won the election on Caucus day in February. Isn't it only fair that she wins more delegates than you? Kind of like how you think it's only fair that Bernie win the superdelegates in states where he won big?

The hypocrisy pisses me off.

To his supporters, logic is only applicable when it helps Bernie.

This is absolute chaos & a complete murder of democracy. This thing is going to court & I doubt if this holds.

Roberta Gustave Lange, a Clinton supporter and Chair of the Democratic State Party, changed the rules without a 2/3rds majority quorum

Bernie had around like 500 more delegates coming in after the Clark county switch & many more alternates. They allowed the Clinton people to come in first, then mid-way by the time bernie people were coming in, they closed it & counted.

Can't believe that Trump may turn out to be a more democratic president than Hillary

Robert Rules - Call for an immediate suspension of the rules and re-convening of quorum based on a vote of no confidence in the rules committee (who is ultimately responsible for the tally system). It's allowed by the rules that the Democratic COnventions across the US adopt (Robert's Rules), and supercedes anything else until an up/down vote is called.
Once that happens, demand a public ballot for delegate tally, with a representative from each candidate present in a single venue to count the delegates, or you will push for a vote of no confidence of the rules board, and a suspension of the members.

Please stop trying to overturn the will of the voters while throwing an immature temper tantrum. You lost by the rules, just accept it.

I copied this exchange from other comments. Good summary.
/u/sandralee48
So what I just got out of that video is that the establlishment held this convention on graduation day from college so the young were automatically excluded. Then even so there were more Bernie supporters in line to enter the convention than Hillary supporters. Then the preliminary count came down with hundreds more delegates for Hillary than Bernie. Then the rules committee wouldn't allow for discussion. Can anyone correct or verify if that's the gist of it? Sad
/u/dalex4991
That's about right, the packed Clinton side early, voted before everyone was ready, and boom. Pop goes the weasel.
