“We’re stronger together and I’m here for Hillary and her new Vice President Tim Kaine, I think he’s awesome”.

Logic suggests that there was only one obvious beneficiary of the scheme, and that was Ms. Clinton herself. Sanders’ loyalists heckled her at a Florida delegation breakfast and many expressed dismay that Clinton had given the Florida congresswoman the position of honorary chair of the campaign’s “50-state program”.
Breitbart reported that Chuck Todd, host of NBC’s “Meet the Press” said that Clinton’s campaign employing Wasserman-Schultz will “feed into some conspiracy theories”.
Should Debbie Wasserman Schultz have been forced to resign as DNC chairwoman?
But Wasserman Schultz’s resignation won’t take effect until after the convention and she had planned to gavel the proceedings in and out and to speak on the convention floor. “Don’t let anyone ever tell you that this country isn’t great, that somehow we need to make it great again”, Michelle Obama said in closing her speech. I wanted to know from Sanders’ most die-hard supporters who gathered around Marconi Plaza for a rally: If Sanders doesn’t get the nomination, how will you vote in November?
On Thursday, referring to Trump’s request two days earlier that Russian Federation uncover emails deleted by Hillary Clinton, Wasserman Schultz said the statement was “treasonous, it’s seditious, it’s unacceptable”.
The news began when DNC chairman Debbie Wasserman Shultz was forced to step down after hacked emails revealed the supposedly neutral DNC was backing Hillary Clinton and working against Sanders during the primary. The scandal that emerged right before the Democratic Convention undermines efforts to prevent a united front and stable alternative to the troubled Republican Party.

To ask Sanders’ supporters to put their fury aside now and support Clinton – enthusiastically – is a tall order. The hacked emails backed up long time claims from the senator from Vermont that the national party was working against him rather than staying neutral in the epic Democratic nomination battle between Sanders and the former US secretary of state. “I think that it had become a definite diversion”. She didn’t gavel in and she won’t speak at all Monday night, something Bernie Sanders supporters from in tell me is the right move.
