The issue over the super-delegates and the democratic presidential primary of 2016 became a controversial one. This week the Democratic National Committee will meet in Chicago to consider changes to the super delegate and other roles. This meeting comes in the 50th anniversary of the Democratic National Convention also in Chicago where riots broke out and the DNC nominated Hubert Humphrey for its presidential nominee. Humphrey was a supporter of the Vietnam War and didn’t even run in a single primary election. To talk about this and to remember the 1968 Democratic National Convention that ended in bloody clashes in the street of Chicago we are in conversation with Norman Solomon.
Guest: Norman Solomon, national coordinator of the online activist group RootsAction.org and co-author of the report “AUTOPSY: The Democratic Party in Crisis.”
