http://www.dailykos.com/story/2016/06/16/1539301/-SANDERS-MUST-CONCEDE-AND-ENDORSE-HILLARY-CLINTON-IF-HE-WANTS-TO-SPEAK-AT-THE-DEMOCRATIC-CONVENTIONTonights episode talked about concessions Bernie Sanders would most likely receive even if he stays in the race until the Democratic Convention. 1. Democrats will probably get rid of Super Delegates. Also, the Democrats will most likely get rid of Caucuses to make everyones vote be counted, not just those that can attend Caucuses. Same Day Voting and Open Primaries are determined by the state so that is not set at the Democratic Convention.
The most important thing you will learn in this clip is that THERE ARE NO CONCESSION SPEECHES AT THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION AND THERE NEVER HAS BEEN! So, Unless Bernie Sanders concedes and Endorses Hillary Clinton then he will not get to speak until Thursday after the vote on Wednesday night where the Candidate is elected. This is the way it has always been and this will not change.
Joy Reid talks about Bernie Sanders coming in pretty late to the game after thinking he would win California and have more leverage. She also discusses the issue of the removal of Debbie Wasserman Schultz and why it most likely will not happen. Also,Gov. Ed Rendell discusses the fact that there are no concession speeches. Sanders does not and will not get to make a speech or plea to the Super Delegates before the vote of all Pledged and Super Delegates. Watch the video below and it explains how speeches work at the Democratic Convention

        Elizabeth Warren is at least one super who has voiced her opposition to superdelegates.

        Most of the superdelegates were not around when they were first implemented.

        Bernie and his people are complaining about them because they can't convince them to support him.

        The DNC *can't* get rid of caucuses, AFAIK. That choice is set by state law...

        At least three states could go directly to primaries. Nebraska, Washington and Idaho.

        For states that have a primary but used a caucus it shouldn't be a problem.

        Absolutely. No one who is still a candidate should speak. It wouldn't be right to the winner.

        After the nom is over, the only primetime space is for Hillary's speech. Bernie would be shut out.

        Maybe he'll give his shopworn speech at the protest rally outside the Philadelphia convention walls.

        Then I hope he doesn't concede!  I would be happy not to hear his annoying monotone again.  nt

        Sanders should not have a speech at the National Convention unless he concedes in advance
