The complaint, filed by 21 Vermont Democrats including 16 women, says the national party this month strong armed the state party to replace Vermont Sen. Tim Ashe and party stalwart Ken Dean, although Dean and Ashe were elected June 11. Dean is among the 21 complainants; Ashe is not. …

When you replace your generals based on their gender rather than their competence you deserve to lose your battles.

If it is the DNC, then just do surgery, and save travel expense.

From what I have heard, both of these delegates identify as women. So what is the problem?

Heard a couple of reports comment that they found the RNC rather like a circus and were looking forward to broadcasting from the DNC because they were more traditional and predictable. The two issues they seemed to make the RNC less traditional were Mrs. Trump reportedly plagarizing Moochelle’s speech and Cruz’s refusal to support the Donald. Pretty slim IMO.

Understand Sheila Jackson Lee is going to speak. Wonder what gems of wisdom she will unearth this time.

Oboy. Plus the mothers of the thugs who were shot by police just doing their jobs, as well as the whole alphabet of LGBT, etc. It’s going to be completely bizarre.

Democrats and other Americans need to get used to being strong armed in a Marxist regime. This has been going on for almost eight years. Under Hillary there will be much more.

The little people should not complain.

All those delegates need to do is self-identify as women, or better yet, male Lesbians. Problem solved.

Now, wasn’t that easy?

Can you elaborate? The story doesn't give details, but I thought the Democrats already had gender quotas for delegates. Did Vermont elect a non-conforming slate of delegates, or is the national party tripping itself up on whether trans women are real women? That would be an interesting twist.

Never a dull moment when Jackson Lee opens her fat mouth.

It was the Democrat convention in Chicago in 1968 when all hell broke loose. Maybe it will happen again! Ironically, in the City of Brotherly Love! Kinda hope it does...

I won’t be able to turn it on. All of the people who attend look like they should be in a freak show on a carny. Like they’re missing a chromosome or something.

And the Democrats think this will win the hearts and minds of Americans, especially this year against Trump?!
