ADVANCER Democrats converge on Philadelphia for Clinton nominationPHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania: US Democrats converge on the City of Brotherly Love to elevate Hillary Clinton this coming week as the party’s nominee who will battle Republican Donald Trump in 2016’s presidential election. The Democratic Party seemed to have “its fingers on the scale” for Clinton, Weaver added. But Sanders delegates won a compromise victory when the committee agreed to form a commission tasked with reducing the number of superdelegates in the nomination process, something Sanders has long demanded. “We’ve come to see that she’s part of a corrupt system.”Protests at the Republican convention which ended Thursday were underwhelming, with only a few demonstrations drawing hundreds of people. But frustrations are nevertheless swirling as delegates bicker over the Democratic nominating process and new hiccups over Clinton camp emails.
