Nor do you see the mainstream press report the follow up on the disgruntled lone wolf in Nice...

I dunno. Maybe the msm is waiting until they can actually identify the suspects. Choukri C.? Ramzi A.? Sardis Q?

Few recent images of DWS have been flattering but I have a feeling JD will save this one.

If JD is going to have a pinup girl, he could do worse than DWS. That hair reminds me of Farrah Fawcett, and EVERY male my age had her poster on their bedroom wall in high school.

Despite Debbie's fall from power, JD is still solidly behind her.

Just saw DWS's "rally" with Florida delegation live on msnbc. She got heckled and boo'd and jeered off the stage by Bernie people. It was quite a spectacle.

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/ ... kfast.html

I didn't plan to watch any of the Dem convention, just like I didn't watch a single minute of the R convention. But in this case, I think I'll make an exception. If DWS' gavel-in of the convention this evening is anything like what I just saw this morning, this will be one for the ages.

And this whole mess was all due to emails hacked by overseas bad guys and released to cause maximum chaos. Maybe, just maybe, Hillary finally understands why her illegal email system, which was wide-open to malevolent hacking, was such a terrible idea. God knows what else Putin has to blackmail the future POTUS.

The funny thing on this video is that MSNBC's tagline during the clip says "Wasserman Shultz Receives Cheers at Florida Delegation Breakfast".

I thought Wasserman was jewish, I don't see why she would go along with trying to "corner" Bernie on his judaism...

Bernie is more atheist than Jewish.

...I think the best reporter to give the news to ahead of time is Greg Sargent at the Washington Post. But, the specific reporter is not as important as getting it to an outlet before the news breaks so we can help control the narrative on the front end. Otherwise this may likely get spun in a not-so-helpful way. We should also get Rep. Cummings on the phone with that reporter. Thanks again, Mark

I really see nothing new in the leaked emails, just more confirmation of what everybody already knew.

Dang. DWS says she won't gavel in the convention. That would have been fun to watch. It would have been like Ceausescu's last speech.

I thought her resignation wasn't until the convention was over. Oh well, she'll just have to go to work for the PAH sooner than planned.

Trump cried about Priebus and the rigged RNC months before the convention and he's been a repub for a least 15+ years. Whereas Bernie joined the democratic party last freaking summer. I mean, omg...the party faithful pulled for lifelong dem Hillary over Bernie-come-lately...what a revelation.

So Trump works it to where he gets some disgruntled Sanders supporters and Putin in turn gets Latvia (another 20k emails and Putin probably gets Estonia, too). The Art of the Deal, baby! A kaput NATO is a hefty price for the oval office big chair...wonder what The Donald can get for gutting the WTO?
