Florida Representative Debbie Wasserman-Schultz has announced she will resign as chair of the Democratic National Committee. The resignation is to become effective after the party's convention. The organisation's e-mail system was hacked; leaked e-mails appear to confirm accusations that Wasserman-Schultz had taken action favouring Hillary Clinton in her contest against Bernie Sanders to become the Democratic Party's presidential nominee. Sanders had previously called for Wasserman-Schultz to resign, a request he reiterated in light of the leak.

Wasserman-Schultz said in a statement:

I know that electing Hillary Clinton as our next president is critical for America's future. I look forward to serving as a surrogate for her campaign in Florida and across the country to ensure her victory.

    I can't imagine Trump's ego (which is yuuuuuuuge!) would ever settle for just being a figurehead.

    Fail to imagine it all you want, but its the truth [baltimoresun.com]:

    Donald Trump Jr. offered Mr. Kasich both foreign policy and domestic policy. (HINT: Thats everything the president does)

    "What the hell would Trump do?" the aide reportedly asked Trump the younger.

    "He would make America great again," Trump Jr. casually replied, according to a story in the Columbus Dispatch.

    Pence likely got the same deal.
