Who is speaking during the crucial 10-11 timeslot? All three in one hour?

Why is she even running for reelection at this point?

I predict Bernie delegates will create more chaos than the #NeverTrumpers did last week.

I don't even think it's Bernie supporters. If that Politico story is correct, no one likes her. The only reason why the President didn't get rid of her was because he figured she would cause more trouble if he fired her rather than her resigning.

"Feel the Bern" was actually a foreshadowing of Bernie's ultimate plot to burn down the DNC with wildfire.

You should see the little intro video CNN is playing to introduce their DNCC coverage. My God. Could it be any more obvious how hard they're trying to keep the election a horserace?

2/3 of the intro featured clips of Bernie protestors, supporters, and surrogates talking about how pissed they are.

And now CNN is showing wall-to-wall coverage of DWS's disastrous breakfast speech. Someone needs to tell this selfish dope to get the f-ck out.

I wonder how long these protesters will last considering the temperatures are going to be in the mid-to-upper 90s all four days.

Hours or minutes? None of these protestors are from the South, so they aren't used to these temperatures. Where I live, the highest temperatures so far this year have been the mid 80s.

Modern Media reporting is indeed a disaster; it's all about the ratings.  It makes sense why Clinton is so reluctant around the media.

RNC is just eating this.

I'm sure it's been mentioned but former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg will speak and endorse Clinton on Wednesday night.

Debbie got booed really badly.  I mean...what did she expect here?

http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/debbie-wasserman-schultz-booed-chaotic-florida-delegation-breakfast/story?id=40850654

“Shame on you!” screamed some.

“You rigged the election!” was another repeated refrain.

prediction: this convention will be more of a clusterfuck than the Republican one.

I think you're right, but I hope you're wrong.

DWS is still planning on opening the Convention and speaking to the mob.  I wonder how THAT will go?  *rolls eyes*

Yikes, Sanders delegates boo when Sanders himself says "We have got to defeat Donald Trump and we have got to elect Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine."
