Let's keep our eyes and efforts on the prize.

Clearly, Wikileaks wants to stir up trouble for our party on the eve of the convention.

Unfortunately, snarky and juvenile emails are an everyday occurrence in political campaigns just as they are in everyday life.

I'd wager that if Wikileaks leaked the emails of Bernie's campaign staff, there would be some anti Hillary humdingers in those emails as well.

The media will play this up just as they always do. Stirring the pot, 24/7 for more clicks, higher ratings, and bigger profits.

Bravo to Bernie! - for keeping his eye on the only thing that matters - beating Trump.

I hope that as a community here, we can do the same thing.

The good news is DWS will soon be out of DNC for good, and, hopefully, most of the DNC leadership will follow her out the door.

Plus, nearly all of the nasty plans against Bernie stated in the emails were only proposed but not executed.

Both Bernie and Campaign Manager Jeff Weaver have indeed been fair and exceedingly gracious on the talk shows this morning, saying the emails only validate what they said all along about the DNC, so no big deal.

Weaver even went one further, saying as a VA resident, he has voted for and genuinely likes Tim Kaine.

Looking forward to Bernie's big speech tomorrow night!
