The interesting part to me is they dropped the bomb on her on the day she announced her running mate and BEFORE the Convention opens.......which will rouse the Bernie supporters.
I have to admit I find that aspect of it somewhat funny. It plays right into the Crooked Hillary, establishment candidate narrative. I also suspect Wasserman-Schultz will be tossed overboard.

I dont see anything shocking in that. Bernie was basically an independent that ran as a Democrat out of convenience and therefore the Dem leadership were not too fond of him.
Of course, they didn't look at it this way when they were counting his vote and taking it for granted in the House or the Senate....
And also - the problem isn't BERNIE, it's the fact Hillary has to win over his supporters. The Sanders supporters can be broken down into different groups: people who hate the establishment (would they vote Trump, I don't know), people who saw him as the lone vehicle against Hillary and therefore voted for him (will Trump get these voters or will they stay home), some millennial socialists (Hillary has most of them - I think) or theoriticians, and some who hate the Establishment but COULD NEVER vote for Trump (the Don has no prayer at getting them), and maybe 1-2 other terms.
I'm usually VERY GOOD at projecting this stuff. I figured Kasich was the VP pick (and stories are saying Trump was offering the man more than anyone ever has in terms of power) and Kaine for Hillary, but I'm also one of the few who projected Sarah Palin for McCain back in 2008 and one of the few who kept telling folks the Hillary-Rudi election for Prez would never happen. Most of the time I can pick it up.
But I can't this time. I thought Trump would win early if he was lucky (with the 10-way or whatever it was split), the party would rally behind Rubio or Kasich to stop him and make the others get out, and like Jesse Jackson did with Dukakis, Trump would then get creamed the next several weeks and be done. I also figured Bernie would cause Hillary some trouble but still lose.
My inclination right now is a Hillary win simply because of the electoral problem, but the selection of Kaine and this news story has to tick off some of the so-called 'true believers' in the party.
Will some/many of them be angry enough to say, "Well Trump isn't really all that conservative plus the Congress will stop most of his nonsense, so it's worth a risk and someone else in four years?" I honestly don't know. It defies everything I know about political science that Trump could even win the nomination so don't get me to lying about it.
Been telling my demonrat friends (yes, I have several, folks I have known longer than a lot of you have been alive) that the whole thing was rigged, from Day 1. Of course, they knew Little Debbie Blabbermouth-Schultz was Hitlery's puppet, and the whole "super delegate" thing was also rigged.
But, no.............they thought the mounting scandals would cause some of them to see the light, and join to "change the system". (Funny how they always want to enact "change" of some kind, and the "system" is what needs to be changed. No clarification what change is, and what comprises the system. Ah, must be nice to live in a perpetual world of being a sophomore in college.)
Alas, turns out is more rigged than even they imagined.
OK..............to the other part in quotation:
Yes, the way the Electoral College map has looked, the last few cycles, the election is Hitlery's to lose. Which is to say..............
Trumpty Dumpty has pretty much zero room for error. Does anything think this loose cannon can go the next 3+ months without making a HUGE error?
In either case, we are screwed.
Why would anything come of it? Her supporters have no issues with her disregard for maintaining national security. Why would they care about this? They will praise her.
So you're sort of saying that if Hillary shot someone, she wouldn't lose any voters. I'm glad Trump isn't stupid enough to think that. I'm sure the cult wound praise her with the typical "she shoots better than you would think, she's a markswoman!!"
Anyone shocked by this simply isn't paying attention
fwiw I'd LOVE to see the RNC's emails from the last year as I guarantee you'd see the exact same kind of stuff about Trump

I would have to agree. One, he is not a Democrat, just caucuses with them, second the party needs to consider who is going to give them the best chance at victory. I know the Democrats have been intensely debating this since the nomination of 1860.
Both parties primary objective is survival. The Dems simply did a better job this time in putting down an insurgency.
Glad to know Trump and the GOP are the only racists in the political world.

Bamaro, Jon, et al, PLEASE go see Hillary's America with open eyes, ears, and an open mind. Then, tell me what you think of the 150+ years of Democratic Party corruption.
Thank you for listening/reading.
Why? It's not like Dsouza had open eyes, ears, and mind when he made it. Or, for that matter, when he circulated a photoshopped pic of Hillary Clinton with a Confederate flag in the background.
It's a sad day for wet poodle look-a-likes across this great land.
