Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Weston, chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee, won't gavel her party's national convention to order on Monday afternoon.

In a brief phone conversation with the Sun Sentinel, she said:

"I have decided that in the interest of making sure that we can start the Democratic convention on a high note that I am not going to gavel in the convention," Wasserman Schultz said.
...
Wasseman Schultz declined to answer further questions.

Better late than never I suppose. Unity.

Bernie hasn't been the target of decades of sensationalist right wing slime attacks. Even with that, it's clear that Repubs would much rather have faced him in the election given the amount of concern trolling we've seen from them.

Oh, and from you as well.

It's not concern trolling, I'd rather have him as President than Hillary or Trump. And that's not even a close decision.

So the woman who is replacing her also has emails in the leak that she wrote and casts her in a poor light. It's not like she hasn't been caught up in this shit for almost 30 years now.

She infamously had to step down from the Michael Dukakis presidential campaign in 1988 after stoking an unsubstantiated rumor about a George H.W. Bush affair.

The fact that so many people aren't even upset at these emails or that they are trying to blame Russia is very sad. Who cares who released them, trying to deflect claiming Russia wants Trump to win doesn't take away what they did. They rigged the entire thing, giving one candidate a much better chance than the other. And yeah I am sure there are similar emails about the GOP, I'd like to see them too. This entire election on both sides is a shit show and its embarrassing.

let's not go crazy and put Donna Brazile on the same level as DWS.

Brazile, in a single email, expressed annoyance at Sanders. there's no obligation for DNC staff to not express emotions towards candidates, and Bernie himself was pleased with the choice of her as interim chair.

I'm amazed that so little publicity has been made of the fact that these emails were hacked and released by Russian secret service hackers. The fact that Russia is attempting to so blatantly interfere in our elections in favor of Trump should be a wakeup call-Putin plans to walk all over Trump if he becomes President. Putin knows Hillary is too tough and will stand up to his imperialist ambitions to reconquer Eastern Europe country by country.

You must be living under a rock. the entire LMSM has ran with this diversion/conspiracy of a story.

Zero proof of Russia doing anything, yet all the talking heads want to ignore the problems with the DNC and want to claim Russia is for Trump.

The DNC preferred Clinton in 2008, but fell behind Obama when he won. If Sanders had won the primary, they would have done the same. You think Reince Priebus wanted to be up on that stage Thursday endorsing Donald Trump? Hell no, but it was his job.

Wake me up when the DNC prevented a single Sanders vote from being counted during the primary.

The word "rigged" these days seems to mean "I don't know how this thing works but I seem to be losing at it."

Schultz's dismissal suggests otherwise.

Can you articulate just how the DNC rigged the primary? Can you also show the impact of that particular incident?
How: The DNC created an uneven and biased playing field by aligning resources to support the presumptive nominee, most evident in the debate schedule and other efforts to shield Clinton from having to address Sander's populist message early on in the campaign season

Impact: Sanders started the campaign at a disadvantage he was unable to overcome. I doubt Obama could have beat Clinton under similar conditions

Speculation: Knowing what we now know about Clinton, I very much believe Sanders would have the nomination. I respect his not going after her for the damn emails, but that was a huge political miscalculation on his part

Influenced, perhaps, but rigged, probably not. Pretty hard to quantify that effect. The bottom line is, had Sanders attained the minimum required delegates, and more votes, sans the Supers, he and his supporters may have had a case. The fact is, she still got more votes in the primaries. Was the DNC doing some underhanded shit? Well, the email leak says yes.

I think this is the best way to look at it. I look at the vote totals......sure, the DNC favored hillary, no doubt about that, but it isn't like sanders lost by a tiny, narrow margin. He lost by over 3.5 million votes in an election in which about 28 million were cast. That is a solid victory(loss), regardless of how people try to spin it. The people voted for hillary, regardless of how sleazily the DNC was trying to accelerate that result. And before people jump in with 'well people voted for kim jong il', seriously, have some self-respect. If sanders had more votes he would have won. He didn't. Plenty of people in the democratic primary thought the concrete aspects of his plans were either nonexistent or garbage.

Exactly. Super delegates are not the same thing as the DNC. The fact that a lot of super delegates came out for Hillary right away has nothing to do with the DNC.

Now it could be argued that the debates may have had an impact on the primary but I can't imagine it would have changed the outcome at all.

After watching Bernie supporters behavior today, I am so glad he lost

I actually like Bernie, and am more politically aligned with his ideals than Hillaries. I just understand American politics and knew he would be a non-starter. What really has turned me off on Sanders is not Sanders but his left wing version of Tea Partiers. Those people are idiots.

Actually, she's just as bad as DWS, if not worse. She got caught lying and making up stories about Bush having an affair way back when Dukakis was running, and she's continued her lying ways ever since. Of course that's a surefire way to work your way up the ranks of the DNC :biggrin:

So now they are on their third DNC leader in a couple of days.

Can't wait for the next batch of emails to get released tomorrow. Got popcorn?
