After turmoil, Sanders, Mrs Obama, Warren thrill convention

The Democratic National Committee is offering its "deep and honest apology" to Bernie Sanders, his supporters and the entire party for what it calls "the inexcusable remarks made over email". Sanders was taking the stage in a highly anticipated address, as was Massachusetts Sen. The correspondence, posted by WikiLeaks over the weekend, showed top officials at the supposedly neutral DNC favoring Clinton over Sanders in the presidential primaries.

"There is a consensus among experts that it is indeed Russian Federation that is behind this hack of the DNC", Clinton campaign spokesman Brian Fallon told CNN Monday morning, arguing Russian Federation was trying to influence the outcome of the US election.

"No longer are candidates running in fear of the NRA, they are actively bucking it. No longer is gun violence prevention the third rail of politics, it's a marquee issue". DNC Vice Chair Donna Brazile, a veteran Democratic strategist who will lead the party on an interim basis after the convention, warned more leaked emails, and more apologies, could be coming. For now, party leaders tried to make Wasserman Schultz's exit as graceful as possible. Clinton and President Barack Obama both quickly praised the departed party chief.

Trump cast himself as the law-and-order candidate in a nation suffering under crime and hobbled by immigration, as the GOP convention stuck to a gloom-and-doom theme.

The self-inflicted wounds could hamper the Clinton campaign's effort to portray the party's convention in a different light from the just-concluded Republican gathering in Cleveland.

Trump was not on board, tweeting: "Bernie Sanders totally sold out to Crooked Hillary Clinton". Clinton was due to campaign in Charlotte, North Carolina on Monday. About as many said they were undecided (39%), while the next most popular choice was Elizabeth Warren (10%).
