Are we surprised . I guess she felt with some friendly people. But not so. Yeah, well, look. Everything thats happened this weekend has not been good. Because what the democrats told me when we were leaving cleveland was, youre going to see the exact opposite when you go to philadelphia. Were going to be organized, were unified, weve had all these conversations over the past couple months with Bernie Sanders and his people. All of that has been worked out. And then you have this wikileaks. And on top of that, i can tell you, having spoken to a lot of Bernie Sanders supporters and soso hillary supporters, tim kaine for the progress yefs is not the person they wanted.

Democrats from the Clinton Campaign across the board want to resolve this before the Convention Begi

This merger has taken place, but its still not smooth. Theres still way too many th g things falling in the cracks. Theres some trust issues. You c
