DNC Day 1: Debbie Doesn’t Do Philly But Bernie Meets Michelle – Live Feed

6 min read 1,042 words 3 views

After the turmoil of last week’s RNC, this week’ Democratic Nation Convention is off to an even more chaotic start (no matter what the surrogates desperately try to say). Wasserman Schultz resignation and decision not to ‘gavel in’ the convention is over-shadowed by the increasingly loud voices of Bernie (who will speak tonight) supporters booing any mention of Clinton-Kaine, but according to the mainstream media, Michelle Obama’s headline speech tonight will bring the party together.

Wow, the Republican Convention went so smoothly compared to the Dems total mess. But fear not, the dishonest media will find a good spinnnn!

Or do voters know something else? Did Jane Sanders just drop a huge hint at what comes next?

While almost inaudible, some have suggested she says: “They don’t know your name is being put in nomination…”
