Elizabeth Warren speaks, all this email crap will become old news.
Except of course for the Rethugs. In "Putin's Pocket Trump" will just use this to continually assail our candidate and the DNC.
Mondays theme: United Together
Gavel time expected at 4:00 pm Eastern
Headlining speakers:
First Lady Michelle Obama,
Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders,
Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren,
DREAMer Astrid Silva
Monday
Clinton's primary rival, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, will have his moment -- with his 1,900 delegates to cheer him on. The speech is all the more important due to the DNC email controversy and will be watched closely for how Sanders addresses any intra-party issues.
Sanders is one of several headliners on the first day's prime-time lineup.
Also on the list: First lady Michelle Obama, who's expected to speak about the role the president plays in the lives of American children in shaping their values and aspirations -- and how she sees Clinton as best to fill that role.
And prominent immigration reform activist Astrid Silva will deliver remarks expected to be well-received by liberals in the convention hall.
Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren will speak Monday night, and Rep. Joe Kennedy III is expected to introduce her.

Does anyone else find irony in the theme and having DWS being the first to speak?

Dems were fascinated in watching the GOP train wreck. The Teabillies don't have the mental fortitude to sit through five minutes of conflicting opinions...they were raised on Fox "News."
