The Democratic presidential primary process may be ending next Tuesday, but the fight among Bernie Sanders supporters to rid the party of superdelegates and install new leadership at the Democratic National Committee is not.

Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard encouraged her followers on Saturday to sign a petition ending the Democratic Party’s use of superdelegates.

“Whether you are a Bernie Sanders supporter or a Hillary Clinton supporter, we should all agree that unelected party officials and lobbyists should not have a say in who the presidential nominee of our party is,” she wrote in a Facebook post. “That should be left up to the voters.”

Gabbard resigned as a vice chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee in February to publicly endorse the Vermont senator’s campaign.

Daily Caller: Huckabee And Obama Trade Barbs Over ‘Oven’ Comment

By Alex Pappas, Jul. 27, 2015, Daily Caller

Mike Huckabee and Barack Obama are trading barbs after the former Arkansas governor accused the president of sending Israelis “to the door of the oven” by agreeing to a nuclear deal with Iran.

Over the weekend, Huckabee, a Republican presidential candidate, said “this president’s foreign policy is the most feckless in American history. It is so naive that he would trust the Iranians.”

“He will take the Israelis and march them to the door of the oven,” Huckabee said to Breitbart News about Obama and the nuclear deal.

The Democratic National Committee seized on the comments Sunday, alerting reporters to the interview and saying the language is offensive.
