Holy shit, that was a lot of booing when he said they were nominating Hillary!
I sense a death knell.

DNC Chairman Debbie Wasserman Schultz to resign at the end of the Convention - however, apparently she will be addressing the Democratic delegates.
That'll be fun to watch. The booing will be epic.
EDIT: Within 15 minutes she is now appointed as honorary chairman of the Clinton campaign. Holy fuck, they aren't even trying to hide their contempt for Sanders supporters.
By doing this, Clinton alienated a major portion of potential voters. I'm still friends with a lot of liberals online because of my old newspaper affiliations. These people are hopping mad, saying Clinton showed she has no integrity. They feel she should have distanced herself from Wasserman-Schultz.
And come to think of it, why didn't she distance herself? Had Hillary stood up and said "I will have nothing to do with someone who doesn't play fair" she'd have at least appeased some Bernie supporters. Plus, she'd come off looking like she took the moral high ground.
How could no one have told her getting into bed with Wasserman-Schultz would anger people? Who is advising her? Nixon's team?

The Democrats are so incredibly clueless when it comes to their marketing. Putting the opposition's name in a message, and it can read as Trump overcoming hate.
Wow that really is terrible.
Love trumps
Hate DNC
Love hate trumps
Love hate DNC
Besides the fact that they obviously don't realize how weak the message of "Love" is...*especially* in given recent events.
Love can work grassroots (Christian movements, hippy movements, music festivals), but it's not great for a political position...especially Leader of the Free World.
