pre-Democratic convention discussion LATEST: Sanders supporters protesting

[The Other Castro]

I've actually worked as a staffer for a Congressional Democrat... The DNC is not going to give the keynote to a Democrat in a Senate race the party will win no matter what. There is nothing to gain and only people to antagonize.

There's a rumor that the TX Democratic party sent out this tentative schedule of speakers for the DNC:

Monday - Elizabeth Warren
Tuesday - Bill Clinton and Bernie Sanders
Wednesday - Barack Obama and the VP nominee
Thursday - Hillary Clinton

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

You stay classy San Diego.

Kasim Reed (Atlanta Mayor) and Stacey Abrams (GA House Minority Leader) will be speaking.
