After an overwhelmingly great week at the RNC with positive responses, various anti-Clinton movies released and now the DNC email leaks, Wasserman Schultz is in major panic mode as it is now made clear that she won’t be speaking at any of the DNC events.

“I don’t think she is qualified to be the chair of the DNC not only for these terrible emails, which revealed the prejudice of the DNC, but also because we need a party that reaches out to working people and young people, and I don’t think her leadership style is doing that”, Sanders told Tapper on “State of the Union”, on the eve of the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia.
Wasserman Schultz said she still plans to open and close the convention, which means she’ll probably still be exposed to angry boos on national television – an embarrassment the party wants to avoid so it can contrast itself with the GOP convention, where Texas Sen.
On July 24, 2016, it was announced that she would resign her position as chairperson of the Democratic National Committee following the 2016 Democratic National Convention.
Many supporters of Ms. Wasserman Schultz, however, shouted back at the critics, loudly cheering during her speech.
I know a lot of people are upset that Bernie Sanders did not win the nomination, but when we look around the country, we see people like Tim Canova running in races against corporate Democrats all over the place. Now at last, it seems he does.
The feisty progressive described himself as “not shocked” by what came out of the email leak.
“As president, I will need fighters like Debbie in Congress who are ready on day one to get to work for the American people”, Clinton said.
Wasserman Schultz’s 12 years as a congresswoman and five years as leader of the Democratic Party give her a donor list on the order of Clinton’s. Turns out, Sanders was right. She has consistently denied these allegations.
Over the weekend, 20,000 emails between members of the Democratic National Committee were leaked by WikiLeaks- the global, non-profit, journalistic organization that publishes secret information. Some of the emails contained personal information of donors, including home addresses and Social Security numbers.
Clinton campaign officials pointed the finger for the hack at Russian military intelligence agencies. His campaign chairman Paul Manafort said on Twitter, as it happens that Trump raised about $4 million that day. WikiLeaks says the release was “part one of our new Hillary Leaks series”, a hint of more information to come.

Bloomberg aligns with Democrats on issues like gun control and immigration, but his coziness with Wall Street could make some liberal activists uneasy.

Those two Democratic presidential candidates also criticized the timing, per se, of those debates, saying that the debates had been intentionally scheduled to attract fewer viewers.

Sanders scored the resignation of party chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz, a nemesis in the primaries, but that wasn’t enough to quell the anger of supporters. “He’s doing it the Bernie Sanders way”, he said. Wasserman Schultz and Republican Reince Priebus, elected by officials in their respective parties, have presided over their parties in tumultuous political times in recent years.
