PHILADELPHIA — After state party officials cheerfully reported their delegates to the Democratic National Convention, insurgent delegates who had backed Bernie Sanders staged a walkout and about 100 or more occupied a press tent for a little more than an hour.
Sanders has repeatedly endorsed Hillary Clinton, the winner of the Democratic party's nominating contest, but has so far failed to move the most ardent supporters of his candidacy to support the former first lady, New York senator and secretary of state.
Leaked emails in the recent Democratic National Committee (DNC) Wikileaks hack reveal that DNC officials view Common Core as a political "third rail" and want party members to avoid talking about it. Well, sometimes, at least.
