DEMOCRATS IN DISARRAY AS CONVENTION BEGINS
Powerline ^ | July 24, 2016 | JOHN HINDERAKER

Posted on 07/24/2016 11:25:17 AM PDT by Hojczyk

The Democratic convention begins tomorrow in Philadelphia, with the party’s leaders scrambling to fend off a series of negative stories and present a unified front.

The Wikileaks dump of 20,000 DNC emails has exacerbated divisions within the party

.In order to placate the Sanders forces, the Democrats have announced that party chairwoman Debbie Wasserman-Schultz’s speaking slot has been canceled. Wasserman-Schultz was the chief anti-Sanders schemer, so canceling her speech may not be enough: this morning, Sanders demanded that she resign as party chairwoman. My guess is that the Democrats will throw her all the way under the bus in a desperate attempt to look unified.

Meanwhile, another controversy has arisen over the convention speeches scheduled to be given by Lezley McSpadden and Gwen Carr, the mothers of Michael Brown and Eric Garner respectively. The Democrats evidently chose to come down firmly on the side of the anti-police movement. But their plan elicited a furious response from John McNesby, President of Philadelphia’s police union:

I like that last line: “Mrs. Clinton you should be ashamed of yourself if that is possible.” The DNC, scrambling once again, now says they will add a couple of policemen to the list of speakers. That’s big of them.

With the exception of Ted Cruz’s performance, the Republican convention came off without a hitch, was not disrupted by protests either inside the hall or in the streets, and presented a positive image of the party.

Wow, talk after a DARK convention. The democratic convention is as dark as Hades from which no souls ever emerge.

They’ll consecrate and break the host (the body of Trayvon symbolized by crusty artisanal bread) and take of the Purple Drank in the chalice.

Yes, but . . . What we are seeing in Bernie is a life-long Fabian socialist.

For these slime, it is a “Principle” to remain “Polite” at all times while insinuating yourself into Western institutions. The REAL GOAL is COMMUNIST DICTATORSHIP.

Another principle is NEVER ADMIT WHO YOU REALLY ARE!

Bernie is AS BIG a LIAR AS CLINTON—he’s just better at it.

"I hope to see looting car burnings and riots"

Full scale riots within the Demonicrat convention hall (and involving the fifth-column leftist media) would be a real schadenfreude moment (or hour) to watch again and again on Youtube.

I hafta wonder how many of those Philly FOP cats vote demoncRAT every election as ordered by their unions?
How many will still vote demoncRAT this year 'cause "that's what we've always done"?
That seems to be a common thing once ya get north of Maryland as I understand it.

Oh please. Blabbermouth Schultz is too stupid on her own to conduct an anti-Bernie campaign. She got her orders from up the food chain. She’s taking one, correction she’s being ordered to take one for the team. That convention is going to be a mess. Anti-police idiots making speeches. BernieBots pissed off. Wikileaks releasing thousands of damaging DNC e-mails. A corrupt VP pick to join an even more corrupt presidential nominee. Yeah, it’ll suck for them, but be a ton of fun for us, and hopefully it’ll be an eye opener for millions of Americans sitting on the fence deciding on their choice for president.

Yes, Bernie gave up without a fight and doesn’t seem to realize that the door has reopened. Maybe he wasn’t in it to win in the first place?

I wish I could be there to lead some of the riots, but I have to work to help fund their delusional utopian dream.

I hope to see looting car burnings and riots, Im popcorn ready!

I am ready also. I have five pounds of unpopped popcorn, my nerf gun (suggested by a fellow FRP), and a gallon of rum.

I also think it would be so ironic after all the crisis about the open carry laws in Ohio with the visualization of dozens of people shot during the convention to have several people shot during the dims convention. After all Pennsylvania does not allow open carry.

No worries for the democrats. Any moment now their media lapdogs will break news about Melania feloniously misusing a prepositional phrase...

Small correction there.

Problem for the Dems: What self-respecting police officer would accept their highly flawed invitation ?
