DNC head denies Sanders’s claim of convention favoritism

The head of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) is denying Bernie Sanders's claim that the DNC is favoring Hillary Clinton in the party’s convention setup.

During a Wednesday call with reporters, DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz said “there appears to be a fundamental misunderstanding on the Sanders campaign” about how members are appointed to committees at this summer’s Democratic convention in Philadelphia.

Sanders said in a letter to Wasserman Schultz last week that he felt Clinton was getting more representation on key committees.

"I do not think that Sen. Sanders’s concerns are valid or warranted and the rules already cover what the candidates will proportionally earn, which they already have throughout this primary," Wasserman Schultz said.

She added that she expects unity at the convention and that both Clinton and Sanders will be deeply involved in helping to shape the party platform.

"I’m not at all concerned we are going to have a divisive fight at our convention," Wasserman Schultz said.

Those dang super delegates! Sanders should get his proportionate share of committee assignments according to ELECTED delegates.

We all need encourage Sanders supporters to come on over! If the elitist puppetmaster dems are not just defeated, but humiliated, Sanders supporters can clean house after the election.

I don’t “get” the picture sarge. But it’s still early in the day and I’m at least semi senile anyway.

Another “Gentlemen, we’ve got to protect our phony-baloney jobs!” moment from the washmitt.
