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.
The chair of the Democratic National Committee "did the appropriate thing" by resigning, according to one of West Virginia's 18 pledged delegates for U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders , a former Democratic presidential candidate, at this week's Democratic National Convention. Submitted in the wake of the release of hacked e-mails showing favoritism for presumptive Democratic Presidential Nominee Hillary Clinton among DNC staffers during primary season, the resignation of Debbie Wasserman Schultz, also a Florida congresswoman, will take effect when the Convention closes later this week in Philadelphia, Pa.

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.
