Clinton says she won’t engage in ‘insult fest’ with Trump

Hillary Clinton says she wasn’t watching the Republican convention, but she heard about the chanting from the convention floor to “lock her up, lock her up“, which was a response to the decision of the Justice Department not to charge her for mishandling classified information because she used a private email server while she was secretary of state.

Sam Miller, 82, traveled from Erie, Pennsylvania, to join the march that stretched several blocks and across a wide street as temperatures in the city soared into the mid-90s. Bernie Sanders supporters take to the streets.

“I know that this week’s events will be a success thanks to her hard work and leadership”, Clinton said in a statement.

Coming on the heels of the Clinton campaign’s tapping of Virginia Governor Tim Kaine, with whom progressives have their own issues, for Vice President represents a deep disregard for Sanders and his campaign according to Jill Stein, commenting on the email leak for US Uncut.

Along with the considerable amount of humidity, the heat index in the Philadelphia area could be pushed as high as 108 on Monday, Gaines said.

“And for whatever reasons – and I don’t want to try to analyze the reasons”. Researchers who track congressional votes show the Democrats moving slightly left in recent years, with Republicans moving more drastically toward the right.

The Democratic gathering is expected to be a more smoothly choreographed display of unity among Clinton, Sanders and Democratic lawmakers and voters. They held anti-fracking and anti-pipeline signs, some with illustrations like a train surrounded by a fireball and the words “No Exploding Trains”. Hillary Clinton’s gonna have some tough acts to follow. “The AFL-CIO and Senator Warren being the most prominent”, the memo reads.

The head of the party announced her resignation after the publication of emails that indicated party leaders had preferred Clinton over rival Bernie Sanders during the primaries.

To be sure, the city is cracking down.

Schwank is one of 26 delegates representing local congressional districts who started arriving in Philadelphia on Sunday for the Democratic National Convention, an event that will mark the first time a woman has led the presidential ticket with the presumptive nomination of Hillary Clinton.

Sanders is cast in the memo repeatedly as a kind of youth-whisperer for the Democratic Party and for Clinton, who struggled in the primary to win over young progressive voters.

The details revealed in a trove of hacked emails published this week by Wikileaks will only embolden and, to many, affirm their suspicions.

Kaine, for his part, described himself as a “utility player”.

How the emails were stolen hasn’t been confirmed.

The Wells Fargo Center, home to the NHL’s Philadelphia Flyers and the NBA’s Philadelphia 76ers, is the convention site.

Sanders told ABC’s “This Week” Sunday morning that the party chairwoman, Rep., Debbie Wasserman Schultz, should resign immediately.

A DNC rules committee member says she was voted as convention chairwoman as part of standard procedures.

The emails showed DNC officials pondering various ways to undercut Sanders.

Carrying pitchforks meant to portray Clinton as the devil, hundreds of Sanders supporters took to the streets of Philadelphia earlier on Sunday to say they felt betrayed by the DNC.

Clinton has to cut through the static surrounding her to persuade those whom Trump is wooing with the politics of fear that she and her party still offer a credible politics of hope.

It has been an open secret for some time that one of the weakest elements of the extended Democratic Party family under US President Barack Obama has been the Democratic National Committee. “This is not about this election”. His campaign chief, Paul Manafort, went further and called on Clinton to drop out of the race altogether.
