pre-Democratic convention discussion LATEST: Sanders supporters protesting

[HAnnA MArin County]

Jim Webb isn't even voting for Clinton because he's a real Democrat.

Lmao and people didn't vote for him because he isn't a real Democrat.

Nice try.

I'll have you know he was polling at a full 0.4% before dropping out (presumably all Atlas Forum members.)

I hear deceased criminal thug Michael Brown's Mother will speak at the DNC.   

Bahahaha I thought this guy was totally serious/not a troll up until this post.  I must be super gullible.

if I were a democrat I'd have an issue with this. It's interesting to note the difference between the parties: Republicans hosted the mother of a Benghazi victim killed in performance of his duties, while the Democrats will boast the absentee mother of a thug who committed strong arm robbery and assaulted a police officer.   

Trayvons mom would be more acceptable in this case.   Just saying.

She is as part of the same group as Michael Brown's mother:

Trayvons situation is nothing like Browns.      Just pointing out that after the last 2 weeks of multiple murders of police officers you are going to roll out the mother of a attempted murder of a police officer.     Great the Democratic party has officially became the party of thugs and crooks.

I kind of hope we add to this list. It isn't too strong at the moment. Kareem is good though.

Ew, not Lena Dunham.

Booker, Kaine and Warren on that list. Perez and Castro (Julian) missing.

[Ebsy]

A lot of elected official speaking. Too bad Mike Doyle (FF) didn't make it on to this high energy list.

[IceSpear]

Hopefully Granholm's speech is as amazing and high energy as her 2012 one was, though that'll be a very tough act to follow.

https://youtu.be/8QZPnPQhjh8

In Romney's world, the cars get the elevator and the workers get the shaft!

[The Other Castro]

Perez, Castro (Julian), or Vilsack's appearance on that list would have outed them as the VP pick.

[Illiniwek]

Really looking forward to Franken, Granholm, Dean, Warren, and Casey!

[cinyc]

There are way too many politicians on that list for Clinton's own good.  How many times can the same, interchangeable, boring politicians give the same tired speech?

[DINGO Joe]

Booker, Kaine and Warren on that list. Perez and Castro (Julian) missing.

As current cabinet members, Perez and Castro aren't permitted to speak (per some arcane reason Obama is enforcing on the cabinet) unless they are the VP choice.

He did the same in 2012 and after Castro violating the Hatch Act, it's the smart thing to do.

[BuckeyeNut]

Interesting to see the Mayor of Chillicothe on the list. Definitely not expected. Not sure where he has to go. Might make a run for State Auditor.
