More than 1,500 miles away from Philadelphia, it was a message Sanders supporters marching through Hermann Park wanted the decision-makers at the Democratic National Convention to hear loud and clear.

The Democratic National Convention gets underway in Philadelphia on Monday.
In return, Clinton seized upon what she called the “fear and the anger and the resentment” from Trump and Republicans, dismissing Trump’s declaration that only he could fix the problems that afflict the nation.
Wasserman Schultz had faced growing pressure, including from Sanders, to step aside.
Throngs of Bernie Sanders supporters marched down a main thoroughfare to show their support of him and disdain for Hillary Clinton ahead of the convention.
Like last week’s Republican National Convention in Cleveland, there will be plenty of protests scheduled throughout the week. Just hours later, Schultz announced she will resign as chairwoman of the DNC after the convention.
“I’m going to do everything I can to defeat him, to elect Hillary Clinton and to keep focusing, keep focusing on the real issues facing the American people”, Sanders said on CNN.
“What’s disturbing to us is that experts are telling us that Russian state hackers broke into the DNC, stole these emails, and other experts are now saying the Russians are releasing these emails for the goal of actually helping Donald Trump”, Mook said on CNN’s “State of the Union”. “She has no free pass. We’re going to keep her feet to the fire to do all the things she did an about-face on under pressure from Bernie and said she supported”.
On Sunday, Sanders renewed his call for Wasserman Schultz to resign and said that the emails vindicate his claims during the primary that party officials were actively working to undermine his candidacy.
“They violated that basic rule”, Rendell said Sunday. “And whether Debbie had anything directly to do with it or not, and it appears from some of the emails she was somewhat involved, she certainly has responsibility for this”.
Sanders was raised in a Jewish family and during the campaign described himself as “not particularly religious”. “Yes, I would have”, Sanders said on NBC’s “Meet the Press”. “We all chose to worship God in our own way”, Rendell said. “It’s a little unprofessional”, said David Phau, who volunteered for the Sanders campaign in Sacramento.
She added, “Bernie endorsed Hillary, but he did not concede”.
Still, Sanders on Sunday once again pledged to do everything possible to help elect Clinton, the presumptive nominee, and Kaine, her running mate, something local party leaders say they’re trying to do, too. “The party leadership must also always remain impartial in the presidential nominating process, something which did not occur in the 2016 race”.
Seeking to minimize the damage, Clinton campaign officials framed the leak as a political ploy, carried out by the Russian government to aid in the election of Republican nominee Donald Trump.
I never thought I would agree with Ted Cruz on anything, but this is one year where you should vote your conscience, and if you feel like Jill Stein is the best candidate, put your support behind her 100 percent and be vocal about it. For now at least, forget about spoilers and what all the political commentators say, and just support who you feel is the best candidate.
He called Wasserman Schultz’s resignation “long overdue”.
“Of course she’ll be booed, absent an agreement”, Sabato said.
Instead, U.S. Rep. Marcia L. Fudge, whose OH district includes Cleveland and Akron, will lead the proceedings.
Wasserman Schultz was also supposed to address Pennsylvania’s Democratic delegates Monday morning. He predicted the release of these emails, such as the almost 20,000 emails released by WikiLeaks Friday.
“I’ve read some of them. My southern baptist peeps would draw a big difference between a Jew and an atheist”.
Amy Dacey, chief executive officer of the DNC, later responded “AMEN”, according to the leaked emails. Tim Kaine’s acceptance speech to run as Clinton’s second-in-command.

“There’s been harm done but there’s plenty of time to undo that harm”, he said.
