Sanders speaks to Washington delegation to Dem convention [View all]

What's interesting about this article is that no BoBs are quoted. When one considers my state delegation went overwhelmingly for Sanders it seems MSNBC went out of their way to find the dissenters.

SPOKANE — The Washington state delegates to the Democratic National Convention got a breakfast visit from former presidential candidate Bernie Sanders on Wednesday.

In a short speech, the Vermont senator urged them to work hard to beat Republican Donald Trump in November.

Sanders’ comments were well-received by the Washington delegation, which is heavily made up of Sanders supporters after he easily won the state Democratic caucuses in March.

“I thought it was right on target, really focused and motivating to go back home and bring his goals to our local level,” said Jim CastroLang, a Sanders delegate who is also chairman of the Spokane County Democrats.

CastroLang said he will be voting for Hillary Clinton for president, although a bit reluctantly.

“I probably believe Hillary Clinton will incrementally move us in progressive directions, but not as far as Bernie would have done,” CastroLang said in a telephone interview from Philadelphia.
