As they say in the streets, Sanders got screwed! “The Democratic Convention is about electing a president and vice president”.
After resigning under pressure as Democratic National Committee chairwoman and being booed and jeered by protesters at a delegate breakfast from her home state of Florida, Debbie Wasserman Schultz conceded today that it’s been “a hard week”.
