Ohio Sanders supporter says more time needed

CINCINNATI (AP) — A leading Bernie Sanders supporter in Ohio said today people are still emotional and frustrated over the outcome of the Democratic presidential nomination race.

Former state Sen. Nina Turner of Cleveland said some Sanders backers also want to see if promises being made to Sanders will be kept. She appeared today on MSNBC-TV’s coverage of the Democratic convention in Philadelphia.

“Senator Sanders has awakened the sleeping giant and when you talk about revolution, baby, this is revolution,” Turner said.

Not all Sanders delegates have appeared ready to embrace Hillary Clinton as their nominee, despite his appeal Monday night that they do so. There were jeers and boos to pro-Clinton speeches Monday night and continued anti-Clinton signs Tuesday.

Turner said Sanders supporters are still working through their disappointment. She also noted that the newly leaked Democratic National Committee emails have added to frustration for those who felt the party hierarchy impeded the Vermont senator.

“People are emotional,” she said, saying she saw grown men crying on the convention floor.
