Area delegate believes DNC chairwoman’s resignation ‘was right decision’

The first lady underscored her support for Clinton and what she said was a factor that should not be overlooked: Clinton’s status as the first female nominee of a major American political party. Tick Segerblom, a Sanders delegate, said via email on Monday.

Wasserman Schultz announced Friday that she would resign as chair of the DNC, effective immediately after the convention. “It’s clearly a rigged nominating process”. Younger Sanders supporters, for example, are struggling to recognize Clinton as their standard bearer, said Randolph Shannon, a Sanders delegate from Pennsylvania’s 12th Congressional District. “To the Bernie or Bust people, you’re being ridiculous, ‘ the comedian Sarah Silverman, a Sanders supporter throughout the primaries, said on Monday night”.

But the Democrats’ treatment of Sanders’ insurgent candidacy was shabby.

But Arnie Arnesen, a talk-radio show host and a past Democratic Party nominee for governor and Congress, questioned if Buckley has any influence at the DNC.

Several of the emails appear to show Wassserman Schultz growing increasingly frustrated with the Bernie Sanders campaign, with her at one point even referring to his campaign manager, Jeff Weaver, as a “damn liar” and an “a-“.

“Anyone in the party shares blame”, Arnesen said.

However, continued Taddeo, contrary to sentiments made by Clinton, this is not a case of the Russian government trying to sway the U.S. election in Republican candidate Donald Trump’s favor. Earlier in the day Sanders had been booed at a rally of his own supporters for telling them to vote for Clinton; there were more boos for Clinton in the convention hall; and on Tuesday a contingent walked out when Sanders himself concluded the roll call of states by calling for Clinton’s nomination by acclamation.

After she resigned as chairman, Clinton named Wasserman Schultz an honorary chair of her campaign’s 50-state program.

The nomination of Hillary Clinton is historic.

U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, D-NH, said the focus must be on uniting the party.

The e-mails further contained messages to and fro DNC officers and event-planning people of White House regarding if many top-ranking donors to the Democratic Party should be let to be during the events which President Barack Obama along with wife Michelle Obama would be gracing with their presence.

“Hillary Clinton will make an outstanding president and I am proud to stand with her here tonight”, he said.

Schake called this resignation “respectful”.

“I hope my headline (from the speech) is that the president of the United States is profoundly optimistic about America’s future and is 100 percent convinced that Hillary Clinton can be a great president”, the president said. Pundits react to speech MORE (I-Vt.), Clinton’s rival in the Democratic presidential primary. She talked about how she shared her concerns with Clinton during a campaign stop in Las Vegas earlier this year, and Clinton called her courageous and told her she would worry on her behalf.

Hassan will be in Philadelphia on Tuesday night, Wednesday and Thursday. The Democrats in Philadelphia, when they take aim at Donald Trump, do so in the form of a sanctimonious anti-bullying public service announcement.

Silverman was one of a number of prominent entertainers who backed Sanders in the Democratic primary against Hillary Clinton. This convention isn’t about Debbie Wasserman Schultz. The Democratic National Convention here this week also is inspiring many, in movements for LGBTQ rights, gun control, and racial and economic justice and beyond.
