Better to rip the band-aid off today and not have it drag out like the Melania speech. At least Bernie can say he exerted strong influence on the DNC outside of the platform additions. I'd imagine Bernie fans would celebrate her removal today more than anything else
Spot on analysis from a political standpoint. It does appear as though that's she's gone, but the change won't happen until after the convention. But it gives the appearance that the DNC gives a s**t for all the scumbaggery that was sent Bernie's way.
(Not to say that if it was the RNC's e-mail server that was hacked, there wouldn't be scumbaggery. That scumbaggery would have been directed at Trump. He someone defeated them all.)
