acked emails threatened to overshadow the Democratic Party's upcoming celebration in Philadelphia as progressives expressed disappointment Sunday over the presidential nomination process and Bernie Sanders stepped up demands that the party's chairwoman step down. Bitterness and frustration among the more progressive wing came after some 19,000 emails were published on the website Wikileaks that suggested the Democratic National Committee played favorites during the primary, when Sanders fell short against Hillary Clinton.
In one leaked email, a DNC official wondered whether Sanders' religious beliefs could be used against him, questioning whether the candidate may be an atheist.
In televised interviews Sunday, the Vermont senator said the emails proved what he knew was true: The DNC planned to support former Secretary of State Clinton from the start. "I'm not shocked, but I'm disappointed" by the exchanges in the emails, Sanders told ABC's "This Week." Sanders pressed for Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., to quit as chairwoman immediately. He also suggested that Clinton's choice of running mate, Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine, was a disappointment and that he would have preferred Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, a favorite of liberals.
And at least one Sanders' delegate said there was talk of protests during Kaine's acceptance speech. Norman Solomon, a delegate who supports Bernie Sanders, says there is talk among Sanders' delegates of walking out during Kaine's acceptance speech or turning their backs as a show of protest. Solomon said he believes a "vast majority" of Sanders delegates support these kinds of protests to express their dismay. Sanders' supporters say they are concerned that Kaine is not progressive enough. 5

The system is rigged! Vote Trump!
Sanders is a fraud, he is a Commie but he refuses to live by the words that he says..if he had ANY kind of Commie loyalty he would tell his supporters to refuse to vote for Hitlary Clinton because she stands for everything they are against but he wont, Sanders is already bought off..maybe he can spread HIS wealth around/sarc
And a new hairdo.
Too little, too late Bern, Hillary stuck a fork in you and you are done!
So...are they taking the position that DWS and the DNC did this without Hillary’s full knowledge, approval and cooperation? Will lil Debbit be the scapegoat?
The Democrat fiasco begins tomorrow ... should be a real HOOT!
The Sanders people will be allowed their little tantrum for the appearance of righteous indignation, but will fall back into line before too long, like the good little marxists they are. A useful idiot’s only hope for survival within the machine is to remain useful.
Need to post the gif — Frank drebin —police squad “nothing to see here”
Wonder how they feel voting for a candidate whose election was rigged and who should be indicted for violations of national security laws, perjury and obstruction of justice?
hillery has pissed off the communists by using her puppet, washerwoman Shutz, to rig the nomination. This is growing like a cancer on the candidacy of the unindicted criminal ,hillery clinton.
“Hacked emails?”
How about flat-out Neo-Marxist Communism “overshadowing” the ‘Rat Convention!
If Sanders has any slot on the Convention Docket, he should assertively slate he will not speak until Wasserman resigns AND that Hillary disavow any part of any of it.
He's complicit. If he had any integrity he'd demand the VP nod. His more sensible supporters have no choice but to vote Trump, vote third party, or stay home. If hillary wins, there will never be another chance at reform.
Democrats are so unsophisticated.
I have high hopes for the fart-in!
"There is no longer a Bernie Sanders "political revolution." He is turning out to be a weak and somewhat pathetic figure,wants it all to end!"
