DWS needs to step down... For the religious stuff at least! That was low.

Anyone who failed to conduct themselves in a neutral manner should resign or be removed. I don't want any of them taking a bow on the way out - just leave.

10. Yes, and we all agree with that. But there was no MAJOR campaign against Bernie at all in the DNC.

Nothing done in any big way to attack his candidacy in the DNC. Tiny number of statements out of THOUSANDS of emails.

13. I don't know how big it was and I don't know that all of it was designed to help Clinton.

I'm just suggesting that anyone who acted in a biased manner in favor of either of the candidates should resign or be removed. If, as you suggest, there were not many people involved, then there need not be many resignations or removals. But, people who breached their obligations are doing no one any good by remaining in their positions. If they want to help, they should resign now.

2. Tapper trying to wind up Sanders
Sun Jul 24, 2016, 09:24 AM

Sanders' basic point is that he told Tapper this months ago and basically Tapper didn't care then.

Tapper looks like a complete idiot.

Kaine compared to Donald Trump - on Kaine's worst, worst, worst day he is a 100 times better.

Message to his supporters:

Immediate focus is to defeat Trump.

Then continue fight.

this whole email leak was designed to fracture our party...it will most certainly be the narrative going into this week.

It's our jobs to make sure they don't get anywhere with it.

Nina Turner just came out all fired up. She's saying it'll be very difficult to have party unity after hearing about the wikileaks. She's claiming that it doesn't matter who released the emails, whether it was Russia or little green men from Mars...

7. Nina Turner needs to listen to Bernie and stop helping corporate media memes. Stakes are too high.

16. Turner needs to stop helping Trump and his Russian comrades.

The day before the convention, she wants heads to roll. An absurd case of misplaced priorities.

11. Yep

I was going to say something about that, but I have posted far too many complaints this week during the RNC. If MSNBC is any indication of how this week is going to go, we have to stand up.

They are focusing heavily on Wiki and Bernie protests.

I've had some beef with Nina Turner for a while, but in the past couple of days she has gone right over a cliff.

6. It sounds like Bernie realizes how important defeating Trump is right now.

I hope most of the people attending the convention can put their priorities in order. Whatever issue they may have with the DNC, Trump needs to be defeated first. If not, nothing will matter anyway.
