Senator Sanders tonight will in his kickoff speech will set the tone for the rest of the convention. He has said the most important issue is stopping Trump! So the speech had better be a great one! I defer to him, he was the one most affected by this. If he can move on so can I. The main issue is defeating Trump!

Personally I think the Democrats are to confident of a victory and need to change a few things.

Like I stated before, anyone who thinks this is or was to be unexpected. Or unheard of in past or future elections are not paying attention. Life's not fair, a lesson one should of learned by now.

The word honor and Debbie WS in the same sentence is quite hilarious.

Yes, those were my first thoughts too. That this could be viewed as payment for a job well done never crossed my mind.

This was a dumb move and it will cost Hillary a point or two in the polls. Drip, drip, drip.

If it wasn't for who /what is the alternative, this could be devastating.

It is a fecking wonder that the teapot has survived all these tempests. Lots of people are made 'honorary' whatever. Means they get no staff, no budget, no authority but it does conveniently put them where they can do no harm

With Debbie, it's more like a genie in a bottle for Hillary, just that her hair was in a tempest.

As massive a swing as that? You're presuming a big proportion of the relatively small segment that's in play at all knows who Schultz is, knows she's said to be an evildoer, and cares enough to flip over this. I don't think that works out to be so many.
