Hillary Clinton will break the penultimate glass ceiling this week - becoming the first female nominee of a major American political party. It's a historic milestone that's been obscured by Donald Trump's chaotic convention and, now, on the eve of the Democratic convention, the resignation of the DNC chairman following the leak of 20,000 emails showing that the DNC had its thumb on the scale for Clinton.
Democratic Senate candidate Russ Feingold said Monday that Debbie Wasserman Schultz was becoming an unwanted distraction and she did the right thing by resigning as head of the Democratic National Committee following an embarrassing email hack. "We don't need any distractions at this point," Feingold told reporters following an early voting rally in Madison where he stressed the importance of electing Democrat Hillary Clinton over Republican Donald Trump .

The well-dressed men who gathered in Cleveland's Ritz-Carlton bar after Donald Trump's speech accepting the Republican nomination for president prefer the term "Europeanists," ''alt-right," or even "white nationalists." They are also die-hard Trump supporters.
Hillary Clinton has worked for decades to earn the Democratic Party's presidential nomination, and she intends for it to follow a traditional path this week. That is to say, the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia was crafted to feature a far different look and feel than that of the carnival-like atmosphere of Donald Trump's Cleveland gathering.
If you are a Donald Trump supporter, you hate it because you dislike Democrats, rationality, civil rights lawyers who have fought for black people, and anyone who falls to the left of Benito Mussolini on the political spectrum. If you are a progressive, you can be happy because of some of the ideals Kaine has pursued throughout his adult life - as a missionary to Honduras, as the mayor of a majority black city who worked to get more public schools opened and sent his children to them instead of to one of Richmond's well-regarded private institutions, his early career working as a fair housing lawyer on behalf of African-American clients in Richmond.
Democrats kick off their convention Monday under the cloud of party chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz's resignation and Donald Trump's 6 point bounce coming out of last week's GOP convention. The big question as the convention gavels in at 4 p.m. ET: Will Wasserman Schultz address her fellow Democrats? And if so, will she be booed, even if she's only present for a brief three minute speech? It will be an early bit of drama ahead of a convention lineup that's packed with star power -- with two presidents, a vice president and the first lady serving as warm-up acts for Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine.
Protests on the streets and a shakeup inside the Democratic National Committee kicks off the party's nominating convention in Philadelphia Monday, signaling that matters are nowhere near settled as the second and last convention of the 2016 Presidential Convention gets underway. Amid the rancor, presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, and her selected vice presidential running mate Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia, presented a more calm demeanor in an interview with Scott Pelly on 60 Minutes Sunday night.
Hillary Clinton's campaign manager on Sunday suggested that the hacking of Democrat National Committee emails was done by the Russians to help elect Donald Trump president. "I think the DNC needs to get to the bottom of the facts and then take appropriate action on any of these emails," Robby Mook told ABC's "This Week."

The convention kicks off on Monday and culminates on Thursday when Hillary Clinton is expected to accept the party's nomination for president. Clinton will face Republican nominee Donald Trump in November.
Donald Trump comes out of his convention ahead of Hillary Clinton in the race for the White House, topping her 44% to 39% in a four-way matchup including Gary Johnson and Jill Stein and by three points in a two-way head-to-head, 48% to 45%. That latter finding represents a 6-point convention bounce for Trump, which are traditionally measured in two-way matchups.
Is Putin trying to 'weaponize' Wikileaks to get Trump into the White House? Clinton campaign claims hackers linked to Russian government leaked DNC emails Clinton's campaign says the move comes after Trump showed last week a pro-Russian stance regarding dealing with NATO allies Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook on Sunday laid the blame at Vladimir Putin's doorsteps for the trove of some 19,252 emails leaked from the Democratic National Committee. 'What's disturbing to us is that experts are telling us is Russian state actors broke into the DNC, stole these emails and other experts are now saying that the Russians are releasing these emails for the purpose of actually helping Donald Trump,' Mook said on CNN 's 'State of the Union.'
One week after Republicans sounded the gavel opening their gathering of party faithful, Democrats will do the same - even as they acknowledge familiar concerns regarding security, safety and a heightened state of tensions around the country. As much as the traditions of these political conventions are similar, we expect Democrats, at least publicly, to represent a more united front than Republicans did in Cleveland.
Philadelphia: It might have sounded barmy, but extraordinary allegations by the Democratic Party that Moscow is behind a massive leak of internal party emails as a Russian strategy to improve the electoral prospects of the GOP's Donald Trump are being taken seriously. The chair of the Democratic National Committee, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, resigns amid a furor over leaked emails that appear to show the DNC chair playing favorites in the heated primary race.
President Barack Obama and his former secretary of state, Hillary Clinton, probably are the last people who should be lecturing Donald Trump about the United States keeping its commitments to other countries. Trump, the Republican candidate for president, has suggested U.S. military aid to its NATO allies ought to be based on whether those nations "have fulfilled their obligations to us."
When Arkansas' delegates gather in Philadelphia for the Democratic National Convention this week, they'll cast votes for a nominee the state claims as its adopted daughter. They also hope having Hillary Clinton at the top of the ticket will energize a state party that's been routed by Republicans over the past three elections.
