The Democratic convention begins tomorrow in Philadelphia, with the partys 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-Schultzs 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 Philadelphias 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. Thats big of them.
With the exception of Ted Cruzs 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.

Trump is a better voice for Bernie than Bernie himself!
That’s Chairperson Mayo!
The destruction of the GOP establishment has created a domino effect. The system ain’t called the Uniparty for nothing.
Mr Donald Trump, in one year on politics, has destroyed the entire stinking, corrupt, globalist system. He has freed this nation from the Uniparty
That the dems have decided to have some of the BLM maggots speak at their convention has to be one of the worst political mistakes in the history of American politics.
I know they’re damned idiots but this is beyond idiocy even for them.
Bernie will say what they did was wrong, but I endorse Hillary because we’ve got to beat that racist Trump
Tossing Wasserman Shulz under the bus now, with the eyes of the world upon the DNC, would only add fuel to the fire. I hope they do it.
“If he were a man of conviction... nay! even a MAN! he would speechify the rotten, corrupt party now run universally by Clinton Cronies...from the Stage of the Convention and on the floor.”
Even with DWS gone, the crowd should not be placated.
Depending upon what he says, Bernie may get booed.
Not hold out much hope though.
I would not describe Ted Cruz’s immolation as a “hitch.” It was a necessary bit of closure.
Like I said, we will need this:
Because we're going to need way more than popcorn to watch this debacle unfold.
Will the concessionaires be offering purple drank and Swisher Sweet cigars?
One of the emails shows DWS is pissed at Mika for calling for her resignation and tells Todd “This must stop!” So, who is she going to email about Sanders calling for her resignation? hee hee
frankly, I’m hoping for a full-throated endorsement of black lives matter...followed by a police walkout.
Add a couple cold ones to that popcorn.
We all suspect the networks will cover the Dem convention wall to wall as opposed to one hour each night like they did the republican convention. Now I’m hoping they cover it wall to wall. I don’t want the American people to miss one minute of the chaos.
Given the comedy of errors of the last few days, you REALLY wonder will the MSM try to do aggressive wall-to-wall coverage of this convention anymore. The LAST thing they want is a PR disaster that shows Hillary Clinton in an even worst light possible.
This is becoming The Red Convention. So sad. /s
These cops are useless hypocrites since they will no doubt be voting Democrat straight tickets in November.
I wonder if Treyvon Martin’s ‘mother’ will speak about racist whites...or will that be Michael Brown’s family?
The Dems should have their 2020 convention in North Korea. It would be fitting...
I got my popcorn...cheese flavored...and lemonade...
