For Clinton, it was a turbulent start to a historic four-day gathering that will culminate in the nomination of the first woman to lead a major USA political party. “The Florida we know is united, the Florida we know will continue to create jobs”.

“I’m mortified on a human level at the negativity she dealt with during her speech”, said Lucy Lapides, another Clinton delegate.
Here we go again with another Clinton scandal, and e-mails yet (can you believe). “This election is too important to fight over the past”. Sanders was derided as being paranoid during the campaign for suggesting the national party was in cahoots with Hillary Clinton. DNC officials, he added, used “party resources to monitor, respond to, and impede my campaign on numerous occasions”. At one point, they appeared to try to make Sanders’ faith an issue, hoping to score points with socially conservative voters in Kentucky and West Virginia. “What did Socialist Bernie expect?”
The Republican presidential nominee, holding a Wednesday press conference in Doral, said that the 30,000 missing emails from Clinton’s private email server would reveal “some beauties” and made an extraordinary plea for a foreign power to locate them. The DNC apologized to Sanders and his supporters Monday after Wasserman Schultz quit, and that’s fine.
U.S. Rep. Jim Clyburn, D-S.C., defended embattled Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz on Tuesday morning, saying she should not be held responsible for private emails of others in her organization. That drew boos and angry chants from some of them, who said it’s too soon for unity.
The tweet included an image of a leaked email between a reporter and Brazile, also the DNC vice chairwoman.
She had kept a low profile since being boo-ed at a Florida delegate breakfast on July 25. The revelation contradicted her insistence throughout the primary that the playing field was level, a claim Sanders and his supporters had long challenged as untrue. “The alternative is horrendous”, he said. Clearly, Sanders was right when he charged during the primaries that the DNC was in the dirty tricks business-a stealth effort to help Clinton at the expense of Sanders. She shares the sentiments of a lot of Americans – a CNN poll released Monday said that 68 percent of those questioned did not think Clinton was honest and trustworthy.
“This is a man who…encouraged the Russians to hack Hillary Clinton’s campaign’s emails”.

Footage of the encounter became part of a campaign ad. Then came the Florida Senate, and in 2005, she was elected to the U.S. House to represent south Florida.
