Bernie riots

In the run up to the 2016 presidential election a number of prominent pundits suggested that there would be riots in the streets if Trump lost but since he won that prediction was never tested. Similar talk is now brewing in regards to Bernie Sanders. The thinking is that if he gets a plurality but not a majority and if the DNC uses super delegates to bring in some savior the Bernie people will riot. The best thing that could happen to the democrats is for Bernie to win a majority of the delegates before the convention. If they are faced with a brokered convention and the DNC has to go to the second ballot and use the super delegates there will be a lot of angry Bernie voters. Whether they turn violent or not will be tested.
