Discussions between the two camps prompted Sanders to send emails and text messages to supporters asking them not to protest. When Sanders took the stage as the night’s final speaker, he acknowledged that many of his supporters were disappointed. It’s doubtful the superdelegates will change their mind between now and then, but if they do, chaos could quickly ensue. And Clinton will be introduced by her daughter, Chelsea.
Segerblom said he sensed how difficult it was for a candidate who fought so hard for the nomination.
“She’s using her convention speech to praise a deal by the party’s rules committee that establishes a commission” to review the nominating process.
Another Iowa delegate for Sanders, Ingrid Olson of Council Bluffs, called the Clinton campaign’s decision to hire Wasserman Schultz a “slap in the face”. And [outgoing Democratic National Party chairwoman] Debbie Wasserman Schultz, you know, all this is going on.

Trump’s campaign has laughed off suggestions that the Russians may be trying to influence the election in the Republican’s favor.
On “This Week” today, Sanders reiterated his call for Wasserman Schultz to be replaced. The post will be temporarily held by Vice Chairwoman Donna Brazile.
