You are probably right in your assessment but the people that do know will keep harping on this for the benefit of others. This could have been avoided by letting DWS walk swiftly back to her swampland instead of being 'honored' for her services.

There is something like 50K strong Berniac's protesting the Hillary coronation (not snark, even the media people are calling this convention a coronation!) and this will be more red meat for them.

Most people don't even know who the vice-president is. In 1981 I worked in a light-fixture factory and a woman at lunch told me she did not know who the VP was.

Yep. Now they plan to have Baltimore mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake gavel the convention open. I'm not sure it's a great choice after her mishandling of the Freddie Gray affair and aftermath (at least that's the prevailing perspective in Baltimore). She screwed it up badly enough that she chose last September not to run again for the office.

Actually Finn the one screwing up at the moment is the Judge. The Leftenant who threw Gray into the van without a seat belt would not hesitate an instant to give me a citation for not wering my seatbelt.

And those are the people whom you're counting on to elect Hillary. How very sad.

No

My point is no one knows who the DNC chair is outside of a bunch of bitter old Bernie Bros. That woman knew who Reagan was.

Actually John it sounds quite representative of the average voter left or right. That is the 40% who even bother voting.

But you knew, and what does that make you?
I would rather be a miserable Bernie bro than a corrupt Hillary worshiper.
