Meyers also had the winning line – art is, remember, a competition – about the potential vice president: “She found Kaine while searching a stock photo database for ‘white businessman'”.

While it is hard to find any Latino supporters of Sanders who say they would vote for Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump that doesn’t mean that they will automatically head to the polls for Clinton now that she is only a few days away from accepting her party’s nomination.
He has made speeches at the DNC before, but this will be a first: speaking in support of wife Hillary Clinton, who is on the brink of accepting the Democratic nomination, just as he did in 1992. Others donned Robin Hood-style hats, a call to redistribute wealth from the rich to the poor. Bernie Sanders’ campaign that its representatives will have the opportunity to be heard on the matters they care so deeply about.
Hillary Clinton’s campaign on Monday blamed Russian Federation for hacking the party’s computers and suggested the goal was to benefit Trump’s campaign.
The group’s national coordinator, Norman Solomon, said each poll is getting an average of 275 to 300 responses in a 24-hour period-what he considers “a good sample size” of Sanders delegates. In an email to delegates after some of the booing early in the day, Sanders scolded those who had taken part.
Trump criticized Sanders on Twitter, saying he “totally sold out” to Clinton and that his campaign was a “waste of time”. She has since come out against the deal. Sanders, unlike Trump, wasn’t in it for personal gain.
They are a Clinton supporter (Franken) and a Sanders supporter (Silverman), who were there to tell the crowd a tale of how they overcame their differences.
“Hillary Clinton knew what was going on”, Trump said in regards to the 20,000 e-mails leaked Monday that showed Democratic National Committee staffers favored Clinton in the primary, without offering any evidence for his claim.
Where once there had been only the prospect of more jokes about the Democrats’ overbearing inclusiveness and presidential nominee Hillary Clinton’s ambition and unlikability – themes that flirt with sexism – suddenly there was something to work with.
“Ironically, in many ways, they want her to repudiate much of the center-left platform that (former U.S. President) Bill Clinton championed in the 1990s”, Mahaffee said.
That is maybe the best way to view Sanders’ speech and endorsement of Clinton last night.
To try to lure expand Trump’s coalition to include more millenials, the main super-PAC supporting Trump, Rebuilding America Now, is releasing this a digital ad with a six-figure buy in states like Wisconsin, Nevada and New Hampshire, organizers said. People started shouting back: “So is Hillary!”
Sanders did not mention Clinton again. But he already had lost the attention of some of his most fervent fans. Throughout it all, Michelle Obama clapped politely, jaw clenched, looking for all the world like she couldn’t wait for Clinton to leave the stage.
Another protester, Michael Arnold of Atlanta, would not have been out of place at a Trump rally, sporting a T-shirt that read “Hillary for prison”.
Julian Zelizer, professor of history and public affairs at Princeton University, told Xinhua that while Sanders’ supporters are protesting, they are more likely simply to stay home on Election Day instead of casting their ballots for Trump.
Some Sanders supporters appeared willing to set aside their qualms about Clinton, largely out of a desire to see Trump defeated in the election. It is especially remarkable when you compare it to another convention moment, in 2008, when Clinton gave a speech endorsing Barack Obama after a bruising primary.
“I wouldn’t vote for [Hillary] for dog catcher”.
Some appreciate the economic growth he presided over while others, particularly Bernie Sanders supporters, feel he was too conservative. “But we can still do everything we can to make this a more progressive party”.
A resignation over Trump: “A Cincinnati-area Republican precinct executive has resigned over the GOP’s decision to nominate Donald Trump as its presidential candidate”, Cincinnati Enquirer reporter Jeremy Fugleberg writes.

But that may not be enough to sway Sue Spicer from IN, who said she had trouble imagining voting for either Clinton or Trump.
