of going to the trouble to remove her so they avoid bad optics, and then going ahead and letting her appear in front of the delegates anyway where they are guaranteed bad optics, even if it happens in the middle of the day when nobody is watching live.

See, we are gonna give Debbie everything she wants, you brats!

You know, for a side that has genuine reasons to ask people to put their egos aside and and work together to stop Trump, some people in the democratic establishment want to make it damned sure that some people sacrifice NOTHING. Live up to the rhetoric you espoused Ms. Wasserman-Schultz, go away and plan your election campaign in Florida.

is the culmination of her life's work in politics. She has tirelessly supported women and now the woman she has most tirelessly supported is being nominated by HER party to run for President of the United States of America.

And now, because she sent some pissy emails that I would be willing to bet are NOTHING compared to some of the stuff that could be dug up on other political operatives, she is expected to forego attending the convention.

That seems a little harsh and a tad shitty to me.

But why take the chance on torpedoing the convention over getting to say a few words? It's illogical. Just take one for the team, work on getting re-elected and move on. The bigger picture is what counts.

Someone who really cared about the party would quietly issue an apology (as Marshall did) and step aside so someone more trustworthy could run things.

Her very presence will evoke boos and destroy the unity that has been built up over that last weeks.

Gonna be ugly, too.



You can't even argue that the Pubs jacked their primaries, too. Frumps candidacy proves it.

No matter how disciplined Bernie is, and wants his delegates to be. DWS is going to get boos. I'm sure all the news channels, especially Faux Snooze are going to staked out all over the place, salivating and waiting for it. So they can magnify it as much as possible and scream "disunity" and "chaos" even if it's just one or two people. That'll become the story, not what's actually happening that day. It'll step on Sec. Clinton's message and Bernie himself will get blamed.
