When asked how they felt they all unanimously responded with "crushed, eff the DNC, not voting for Hillary."
Emotions running high at that time and I'm sure people will gather themselves, but many are unhappy with the DNCs handling of their "unbiased" nomination process.
There was a fellow live streaming the convention from the floor and it was a far cry from the happy go lucky party presented by CNN et all last night.

Well if you are going to call that media bias, did you not notice that the EXACT SAME THING happened in Cleveland, and received a similar amount of press? The Colorado and Utah (I believe) delegations were among those that walked out of the GOP convention, and a Utah republican senator left the party in protest after the convention ended.
CNN didn't really report on that either, so I guess last week they had a right wing bias, and now they have switched?
Media isn't unbiased -- it never has been. But it is (I think) lazier than it used to be, but maybe that is just me being an old fart. One of the greatest and most important media figures of the last century was Edward R. Murrow. He was smart, principled, and tough, and willing to stand up and speak truth to power.
But was he unbiased? Hardly. Being unbiased is neither desirable nor possible. It is possible to be fair--but that is a different thing altogether.
