But the appearance of soon-to-be-departing Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz at the Florida delegation breakfast at the Marriott in Philadelphia Monday was an impossible act to follow. Despite his passionate and funny delivery, the room was still abuzz over the massive disruption […]

Certain indelible moments remain fixed in our collective memory. Moments that transform history and us. “Where were you when” … moments. Moments like when JFK, MLK and RFK died.
