Bernie Sanders is accusing Democratic National Committee chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz of trying to tip the party convention in Hillary Clinton's favor, saying the chairwoman has packed the committees with Clinton supporters. In a letter to the chairwoman, Sanders noted that of the 45 names he submitted to Democratic National Convention committees, Wasserman Schultz appointed only three.
"I believe the composition of the standing committees must reflect the relative support that has been received by both campaigns," Sanders wrote in the letter dated May 6. "That was why I was so disappointed to learn that of the over forty people our campaign submitted at your request you chose to select only three of my recommendations for the three standing committees. Moreover, you did not assign even on of the people submitted by our campaign to the very important Rules Committee of the Democratic National Convention."
"It is my hope we can quickly resolve this in a fair way," Sanders wrote. "If the process is set up to produce an unfair, one-sided result, we are prepared to mobilize our delegates to force as many votes as necessary to amend the platform and rules on the floor of the convention."

Disappointing

Sanders is a shill like every other politician.
Trying to buy voters with 'free' stuff.

But, man, what balls it would take for him to not endorse her. You could say it's stupid not to endorse her, but man, what balls.

It would be a big disappointment for me if he endorses her and it would prove he was a phony all along playing the game .
I've actually come around on the minimum wage issue and realized how anti free market is.

Way to simplify Sander's ideas and that's the problem with politics, hyperbole like this.
It's not free if you're paying taxes.
