“I think having it in Camden and entitling it “Camden Rising” and telling a little of the story of Camden is very helpful for the city, its resurgence and what everyone is doing to try to make it a better place”.

But no Sanders supporter could find an upside in the DNC emails.
One is a suggestion to discredit Sanders after a controversial convention in Nevada in May, which led to his supporters accusing the DNC of fraud and misconduct. “Specifically, DWS [DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz] had to call Bernie directly in order to get the campaign to do things because they’d either ignored or forgotten to something critical”, DNC Press Secretary Mark Paustenbach wrote to DNC Communications Director Luis Miranda.
“The state party there has a lot of problems”.
Robert Becker, who ran Sanders’s campaign in Iowa, said he was personally offended by one of the leaked emails. “He had skated on saying he has a Jewish heritage”, the message said.
The compromise came after a lengthy meeting in which Sanders supporters grew increasingly frustrated as their efforts on superdelegates were voted down.
