Thanks, Wikileaks! This political season had gotten quite drab before yesterday:

Points to consider:
· Reince did a full Ginsburg at his lowest point. That’s what draws attention.
· We cancel on them now and things get all nice they, may not want us back till convention if at all.
· We can’t be offended about any topic or question, it’s our job to be accountable, and it looks better if we answer and pivot, than just not show up at all.
· The coverage has shifted significantly, it’s much better today (see NYT story and WaPo editorial). It’s clear that Bernie messed up and we were on the right side of history. We’re going to take hits, but Bernie defending the actions the way he’s done I think makes him look bad more than us.
· Clinton campaign is a mess, they’re afraid of their own shadow and didn’t like that we engaged. I happen to think they’re wrong and it explains why they’re hobbling along unable to close it out. But they’ll be unhappy regardless, so better to get out there and do some strong pivots and land good punches on Trump. They can’t tell us NOT to do TV right now, we shouldn’t pull ourselves out until they actually do.
· We just have to stress this isn’t DNC vs Bernie/Weaver, this is about the principle of non violence and we’re glad the Sanders camp finally separated that out. Now we need to go back to focus on …. X, y, z.
· Florida considerations…defer to you.

Response from DWS:

Let's take this offline. I basically agree with you. When you say "cancel", have you confirmed this? DWS
