Official 2016 Democratic National Convention Thread
- Thread starter FAH1223
- Start date
Sen. Bernie Sanders, former President Bill Clinton, and Chelsea Clinton will all get major speaking slots at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia in late July.
Clinton's presidential campaign and the Democratic National Convention Committee announced its list of prime-time speakers on Friday, and each of the four nights feature two major speakers.
In a move meant to portray party unity, Sanders is scheduled to speak on Monday alongside First Lady Michelle Obama and Astrid Silva, a prominent immigration reform activist. The theme of that night is "United Together."
"Monday will focus on putting the future of American families front and center and how we're stronger together when we build an economy that works for everyone, not just those at the top and when everyone has a chance to live up to their God-given potential. DREAMer Astrid Silva will share her story and her fight to keep families together," the DNCC said in its announcement.
Sanders' slot on Monday is the latest signal that Democratic convention organizers, working with the Clinton campaign, have put out to fight any perception of a divided party — as well as to bring disappointed Sanders supporters into the fold after a long primary. The announcement of Sanders speech on Monday comes days after the Vermont senator endorsed Clinton at a joint event.
Bill Clinton is the featured speaker on Tuesday, a night that will focus on the former secretary of state's efforts throughout her career "working to make a difference for children, families, and our country." Bill Clinton is writing his own speech.
On Wednesday President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden will give speeches focused on highlighting Clinton's experience and what the stakes are in the 2016 election.
On Thursday Clinton herself will deliver a speech alongside Chelsea Clinton. The former secretary of state will focus on "her vision for our country — her belief that we are stronger together and that America is at its best when we work together to solve our problems." The title for that night is "Stronger Together."
Speaking of Superdelegates:
This is after they voted down eliminating them altogether and allegedly locked Sanders supporters out of the room during that vote.
I'm reading conflicting reports that the people outside weren't on the rules committee.
I mean, they would've lost regardless. HRC has more delegates.

Sanders c00ning despite the DNC leaks
His problem isnt trump anymore...Bernie is already looking like a fool...He was played several times....The Emails have evidence of DNC and Hillary collusion, Personal attacks and disses toward him...Hillary double crossed him and his progressive platform only two weeks after he conceded defeat with her almost republican VP pick....Endorsing hillary at this point is humiliating himself...... Its like apologizing to nikkas who robbed you earlier and saying you should have given them more
For a white man who got clubbed and arrested for marching with MLK ............this is just pathetic

How? What could he possibly say? "Remember all those principles I told you to fight for during the primaries? Yeah bush that, we with her now.
"Trump and those leaks really put him in a tough situation. Either kiss the ring and sell out your revolution as a fraudulent scam, or stick to your principles and pull a Ted Cruz. I'm going to be watching Bernie's speech very closely, it will be fukkery either way.
Trump is playing this masterfully.
