As Twitchy told you, tensions were high at the Nevada Democratic convention yesterday as supporters of Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders battled it out to see how many delegates each would send to the national convention in Philadelphia later this summer.
Here’s Nevada journalist Jon Ralston with the one-tweet summary:
Timeline:
Bernie loses vote that matters — NV caucus.
Berners flood local conventions.
Berners lose state convention.
Berners go nuts.— Jon Ralston (@RalstonReports) May 15, 2016
Sanders supporters, disappointed with the outcome, held new protests today and wrote nasty messages for the state Democratic operatives in chalk on the outside of the party’s headquarters:

"NV Dems has failed us," says one sign. So has grammar.

The Sanders supporters even brought children to help with the chalk graffiti:
This is inspiring: Kids brought along to help with chalk messages saying state Dem chair is a "disgrace." Unity Now! https://t.co/Ia2q9RjZs5

It looks like the kids are the best behaved of the group.
