[Aratus]

So that would be a "no" then ...

each other here at the RPFs than maybe the Sanders people will be

Hopefully DNC insiders are not building a 4' wall to keep Bernie supporters out of DNC Convention.

It appears DNC Conventions is being overshadowed by the "Hillary Leaks" and now there are reports of more leaky situations ahead.

Leaked DNC Documents Show Plans To Reward Big Donors With Federal Appointments

Democratic National Committee documents recently released by WikiLeaks include spreadsheets and emails that appear to show party officials planning which donors and prominent fundraisers to provide with appointments to federal boards and commissions.
The documents, which were circulated among top DNC officials in April, could raise legal questions for the party, says Ken Boehm, the chairman of the National Legal and Policy Center, a government watchdog group.

The records, which WikiLeaks released along with nearly 20,000 hacked DNC emails and other documents on Friday, also expose one of the Beltway’s worst kept secrets: that wealthy politicos can often buy their way to presidential appointments.

President Obama has been criticized for appointing dozens of top fundraisers — called “bundlers” in the political fundraising realm — to ambassadorships and other cushy federal positions. The spreadsheet — which was accompanied by emails sent between officials with the DNC’s finance team — contains 23 names of little-known corporate executives and professional fundraisers who have donated to the committee and various Democratic political action committees.

The proposed appointments also provide more evidence that the DNC favored Clinton over her former primary challenger, Bernie Sanders.
Most of the donors listed on the spreadsheet have given to Clinton’s campaign. None gave to Sanders.

Democrats on Monday struggled to contain the chaos that threatened to take hold in Philadelphia, as Debbie Wasserman Schultz bowed out of plans to gavel in the Democratic National Convention and restless Bernie Sanders' supporters lashed out.

As I said to Danke in a rep message, "RNC was last week. DNC is this week. Misery is not optional."

Yea things can be cyclical.
"RNC Dark Convention" bounce is this week (Hillary lags in battleground States now), "DNC Election Rigging Convention" bounce will be next week.


This news on eve of DNC Convention however is beyond the pale:

Obama's brother will vote Trump

BTW, anyone knows what time Bernie supporters and BLM leaders supposed to give their speeches from DNC stage?

[CaptUSA]

Just saw they put an illegal alien on stage to give a speech. Talk about being tone deaf.

It seems like both sides are working overtime trying to lose. Guess neither one of these idiots really wants to be President.

Anyone see Demi Lovato's semi-speech? Interesting transition from political speech to singing.

Every time Hillary Clinton's name is mentioned, it is being boo'd at the Convention. This is far more messy than I had expected.

Heard some Bernie supporters on PBS make their case, these guys are quite passionate, articulate and put "movement" above the candidate. The way they are standing up against inside rigging by DNC establishment is going to have far bigger impact than many anticipated.

Seems like democrat Convention attendees have invented a version of "boooooooooooo....." following the south American version of soccer "gooooooaaaaaaaaalllll...".

Hopefully no one will screen this video on DNC convention monitors:

From indications so far, things could get far worse at DNC Convention before they turn into a full blown disaster:
