Sanders makes extra plea to California delegates to line up behind Clinton
Bernie Sanders made an impromptu stop at the California delegation breakfast Tuesday to talk to the largest faction of "Bernie-or-bust" delegates and urge them to unify the Democratic Party. "Elections come and go. What we must do or forever look back in regret is defeat Donald trump and elect Hillary Clinton," Sanders told the delegates the morning after his address on the convention floor. "It's easy to boo but it is harder to look your kids in the face who will be living under Donald Trump presidency. Trump is the worst candidate for president in the modern history of this country."

'Bernie started a revolution, he can't stop it now': Sanders backers still refuse to quit
For diehard Bernie Sanders supporters at the Democratic National Convention, nothing he said in his Monday night speech will convince them to vote for Hillary Clinton, or to quiet down during her all-but-guaranteed nomination this week. "Under no circumstances will I ever vote for Hillary Clinton," Nebraska delegate Edgar DeLeon said as the Wells Fargo Center emptied out after Sanders spoke. "Jill Stein!" yelled another pro-Sanders delegate, referring to the Green Party candidate who some Sanders backers say they'll now vote for in November instead of Clinton.

Antle: Bill Clinton to address a party abandoning his legacy
When Bill Clinton takes the stage at the Democratic National Convention Tuesday night, he will be addressing a party vastly changed from when he last accepted the nomination. Back then, Clinton declared the era of big government was over. He said welfare should be a second chance, not a way of life. He proposed mending welfare and affirmative action, even he would end neither. He briefly entertained bipartisan entitlement reforms, although they ultimately went nowhere.

Black caucus split on Debbie 'what's-her-name' Schultz
Leading members of the Congressional Black Caucus offered very different reactions to Florida Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz's decision to resign her post as chair of the Democratic National Committee. "I think she was treated unfairly," South Carolina Rep. Jim Clyburn, the third-ranking House Democrat, told the Charleston Post and Courier. "Absolutely. No question in my mind." Not every CBC member who endorsed Clinton was as warm toward Wasserman Schultz, however. "They made up this thing about what's-her-name Schultz, just to make it exciting," retiring Rep. Charlie Rangel, who co-founded the CBC and has represented Harlem since 1971, told the New York Times. "We don't need her now! ... So she resigned. So it's onward to victory. Is that bad?"

Obama may need to calm Dem divides at Clinton convention
Democrats called for unity in their party Monday night, but after a day of protesting from Bernie Sanders supporters, it might be up to President Obama to actually deliver it when he speaks Wednesday night. Hillary Clinton was booed repeatedly on the convention floor by supporters of Sanders who felt burned by the Democratic National Convention. The spectacle destroyed her campaign's plan for a perfectly choreographed convention, and that's why Obama speech to conventioneers is suddenly more important.
