Warren on attack at New Hampshire Democratic Convention
Sharpton, the host of Politics Nation on MSNBC, plans to hold off on making a formal endorsement in the presidential race until after the Democratic convention in Philadelphia next month. On Sunday, the remaining 34 national delegates and eight alternates to the Democratic National Convention will be elected.

As the lone US senator to have endorsed Sanders during the primary season, Merkley was a logical choice to deliver a plea for unity. “Still counting in California”, she said.
“Election days come and go but political and social revolutions that attempt to transform our society never end”, he said.
Merkley’s plea drew a mix of cheers and boos.
“Crazy Bernie”, Trump said of the Vermont senator.
“Donald Trump would be a disaster”, Bonnie Wright said.
However, Trump said at a rally in Las Vegas on Saturday that “it would be helpful” if fellow Republicans would rally around him. In a video message Thursday, he said he looked forward to working with Clinton on key issues.
On Saturday, they passed their party platform Saturday and voted on various party charter amendments and resolutions.
Among the demands he made publicly on Tuesday were opening primaries to independent voters, same-day registration and doing away with super delegates that aren’t bound by voters’ ballots. That comment drew loud boos and shouts from many in the crowd.
Those kinds of conversations could help shore up Clinton’s support. On Thursday, Arizona Democratic Rep. Raul Grijalva, the first member of Congress to endorse Sanders, announced his support for Clinton. “If we can keep this up”, he told supporters that night in a fundraising email, “we’re going to shock them all and win this nomination”.

“It’s a culmination of all these events we’ve been doing as a party since the caucuses”, Congressman Dave Loebsack said.
Currently, Democrats only use the precinct caucuses to allocate their delegates.
There was some indication that Hillary Clinton’s status as the presumptive nominee was having an effect. Some in the party have criticized sticking with the caucus system, which draws far less participation than a primary. Iowa Democratic Party chairwoman Andy McGuire did not mention either candidate in her opening remarks at the convention.
Party leaders feel that time and the threat of a Trump administration will bring Sanders supporters on board.
“There is unity. It can happen and it will happen”. They, after all, went through the same emotional process in 2008 when Clinton lost the Democratic nomination to Barack Obama. Mr. Trump has corrupted the soul of the Republican Party – that was seen last week when the otherwise reasonable and classy Senator John McCain blamed President Obama for the horrific gun slaughter in Orlando.
Clinton’s biggest struggles continue to be among men and white men, whom she has negative ratings among of 63 and 75 percent respectively.
