Leaked DNC emails reveal secret plans to take on Sanders

And if Clinton and Democrats need anything as they head into their convention next week, it’s not protesters yelling about a rigged nomination.

“They didn’t send it to us before planting the story”.

Sanders endorsed the former US secretary of state earlier this month and ruled out a convention fight over the party platform on issues such as the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a trade deal Sanders opposes.

“I will tell you”. Bernie Sanders is expected to be a keynote speaker and ardent supporter of Hillary Clinton during the event next week. “Bernie Sanders, an independent from Vermont”, he said. “This platform is worth fighting for, and it marks a stark contrast to the regressive and oppressive GOP platform that was just approved at Trump’s convention”, he wrote. Or maybe the looming prospect of a potential President Trump was enough to bring them together.

“Spoken like someone who has never been a member of the Democratic Party and has no understanding of what we do, ” she said.

The state also will have five unpledged superdelegates.

“It’s definitely a contested convention”, McFarlane said.

Exactly half of the 60 voting delegates are men and half are women.

“Posting approximately 20 tweets during the one hour and 15-minute speech, Sanders criticized Trump on a number of topics from Trump’s assessment of the causes of the current instability in the Middle East to his tax plan that Sanders said would give “$3.2 trillion in tax breaks for millionaires, cut programs for low-income Americans”.

Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton in Cincinnati, on Monday.

Pat Vincent, of Nebo, another Clinton delegate from Denver who will be in Philadelphia this week, said the convention means that she will get to “finish the job”.

Fuchs said that just thinking of finally getting to nominate Clinton “makes me cry …” “She’s already served as a judge and jury without even bothering to talk to me”, she wrote. But while online accounts have been launched on both sides of the aisle, the influx of young delegates trying to get to their first national convention has stemmed predominantly from the Sanders camp.

“In 2014, when I was running for the House, Senator Sanders helped out my campaign”.

Noah Gabriel Cartagena, an 18-year-old Sanders delegate from Gaston County, wishes Clinton would come out in support of full socialization of healthcare and education but predicts she would build on progress made by President Barack Obama.

“They’ve got the same love for their candidate as we had for ours … Obviously the historic importance of this election is hard to overstate in nominating the very first woman from a major party to be president of the United States”, he said.

The Democratic Party’s race wasn’t simply between Sanders and Clinton.

He said he also looks forward to seeing retired U.S. Sen. Tim Kaine, of Virginia, viewed by many as a “safe” choice because he is a moderate and rarely makes mistakes.

“This is the first time I have been a delegate to the DNCC”, she said.

Sanders who, although endorsing Hillary Clinton as the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, has not formally conceded.

At least he hopes that’s the case.

For now, the delegate remains committed to Sanders. “But we have reason to collaborate and work with the larger party”.
