In addition to Hillary’s wall, the Democrats regulated their convention by requiring delegates to show valid photo identification to attend.

Bernie Sanders supporters who feel disenfranchised, especially in light of leaked emails showing collusion between the Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton’s campaign, have been protesting outside the Wells Fargo Arena in Philadelphia, where the convention is being held.
