DNC Chair Schultz Loses Speaking Spot at Convention
 
(CNN) — The head of the Democratic National Committee will not speak at the party's convention next week, a decision reached by party officials Saturday after emails surfaced that raised questions about the committee's impartiality during the Democratic primary.

Debbie Wasserman Schultz, whose stewardship of the DNC has been under fire through most of the presidential primary process, will not have a major speaking role in an effort "to keep the peace" in the party, a Democrat familiar with the decision said. The revelation comes following the release of nearly 20,000 emails. CNN

Are the rigging allegations official then for her hide out during the convention? She should resign and go back to Florida.

Florida does not want her! (at least I do not)

CarlV 07-24-2016 08:52 AM

It is hard to believe they are that stupid not to figure out that she really can cost them this election......

If they thought this, Bernie would be the candidate. :)

If more people had voted for Sanders he would have been the candidate.

If it wasn't for her Bernie may not have needed to run. The only thing she has done is her Florida job. Is there anything she has done that is in her job description?

He would have if only he had sold out to the highest bidders, but unfortunately, he has integrity which Shrillary does not.

You really need to wake up. You are basically repeating the Trump line.

Pio1980 07-24-2016 11:22 AM

People who liked Bernie, like me, didn't pony up because ultimately he is unelectable as a Democrat.
Republicans, otoh, have proven to operate with a much lower set of realistic standards for nomination.

You know what they say about stopped clocks. It's you who need to wake up. You deny the reality of something on the basis of who pointed it out.

A lot of people did pony up though. Some, like me, even ponied up after it was clear that he'd lost the nomination so that he could still fight for the principles he campaigned for.

No Robbin, I have been saying this even before the primaries started and the Bernie movement, that Hillary would make a rotten candidate not to mention the fodder she will give her opposition with the skeletons in her closet.

Trump is simply availing himself to these and wait till the campaign is in full swing. And try not to put the guilt trip on Bernie supporters if Hillary does not win nor gets badly bruised by Trump. Hillary with the collusion of the DNC asked for it.

Pio1980 07-24-2016 11:39 AM

I admire your devotion, but the stakes are too high to risk backing someone I like, also running on promises that can't be kept.

Sanders has endorsed Clinton.

Feel free to vote for Trump if that will mitigate your anger.

Oh my guy did not win so the American democratic process is rigged. Simpleton logic.
Not good for democracy either.

Pio1980 07-24-2016 11:51 AM

Like it or not (I do not), the Golden Rule tends to dominate politics for its own benefit. Oversight by an incorruptable agency with the power to enforce sensible rules of conduct is the answer, if it can be instituted. Backing candidates who haven't a practical plan or the power to bring one forth is not.

What did you expect him to do? And when did I ever give the slightest indication that I might vote for Trump. It's possible not to trust or respect Clinton without supporting Trump..... or is that too nuanced for you.

I ask again. What is your point? If we all believe you that Hillary is horrid while Bernie was Golden, what is to be done? Should we all go vote for Trump?

At this time, you are fighting the wrong fight.

Yes, if that's all there was to it. And clearly it isn't.

And I thought you knew that, as a good bolshevik, I don't want what's good for democracy. That should be obvious.

Oh, no point, I just think that PC needs a good Cassandra. Plus, I like fucking with knee-jerk Clintonistas like ice.

Oerets 07-24-2016 12:04 PM

Come on really, people are shocked and upset to learn, thinking the system is fair only to learn is not? Favors one candidate over another. Just where have you been.

Just more red meat to feed the distractions from the issues! To try and divide the Democrats and cause unrest. The GOP hates DWS and wants to shut her up. Especially right now with the national spot light on the convention.


Nothing to see hear, move on....

Better check his voting record before you go out on that limb with a chainsaw. ;)

Nah Don some of us are just getting a little bored with all the claims about skeletons and closets and smoke without fires. However if it amuses the Hillary bashers I guess we will just need to skip over posts.

Like the name Shrillary - obviously Raj has never listened to Bernie on the trail - and that Brooklyn accent does not help.:)

I don't really think Trump or Bernie wanted to be president. They both got caught up in their own movements. Trump now wants to win the presidency to be sure, but doesn't want to be president. Kind of a dog catches a car thing.

I'm sure that the Clinton campaign vues this in exactly the same way. Of course, once the election is over, platforms go into the trash so Hillary won't ever have to follow through on any of the concessions she made to Bernie.

Did you have a particular vote in mind?

The most progressive party platform in the Democratic party's history and a solidly progressive VP pick not to mention Hillary's solid progressive credentials aren't enough for the far left. There's no pleasing some people.

But I'm not angry. I just want to convince the Clintonistas of the magnitude of the mistake they've made. But, like Cassandra, my curse is that I'll never be believed about the Orange Horse until it's too late. :)

Wasillaguy 07-24-2016 02:59 PM

I see they've replaced the mop head with someone named Fudge. That's appropriate.
And a guy named Earnest doing the PR. You can't make this stuff up. What's next, a surprise candidate swoops in named Major Trustworthy?

bobabode 07-24-2016 03:44 PM

Breaking News. Schultz is resigning after the convention. Will it be enough?
