1. I tried the link with Firefox and IE and nothing opens.

Can you tell me the essence of the OP?

2. I opened it with Chrome, but here's a few paragraphs

A leader of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) announced Sunday that she is stepping down from her post to support the presidential candidacy of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.).

Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii), who currently serves as a vice chairwoman of the DNC, announced her endorsement in an interview with NBC's “Meet the Press” that aired Sunday morning.
"I think it’s most important for us, as we look at our choices as to who our next commander in chief will be, is to recognize the necessity to have a commander in chief who has foresight, who exercises good judgment, who looks beyond the consequences, looks at the consequences of the actions they're looking to take, before they take those actions, so we don't continue to find ourselves in these failures that have resulted in chaos in the Middle East and so much loss of life," Gabbard said.

Gabbard is the fourth member of Congress to endorse Sanders in his battle against Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton. She is his most high-profile congressional endorsement to date.

5. One wonders whether this was presented as a departure offer Tulsi Gabbard couldn't refuse

Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii), who currently serves as a vice chairwoman of the DNC, announced her endorsement in an interview with NBC's “Meet the Press” that aired Sunday morning.

"I think it’s most important for us, as we look at our choices as to who our next commander in chief will be, is to recognize the necessity to have a commander in chief who has foresight, who exercises good judgment, who looks beyond the consequences, looks at the consequences of the actions they're looking to take, before they take those actions, so we don't continue to find ourselves in these failures that have resulted in chaos in the Middle East and so much loss of life," Gabbard said.

The DNC is now a virtual monolith of Clintonites and neocons.

18. That's my presumption. Anyone know otherwise?

Haven't seen anything to indicate to the contrary.

6. Thank you, Tulsi!

Yours is an endorsement to celebrate and a career to watch!

9. Guess we know which Senators are sure to be primaried in their next election.

Too bad. Without question, I will vote for the most liberal candidate in November, even if that candidate is not as liberal as I would like.

That said, I am deeply worried about the direction of the DNC and what it means to our future as a party and a country.

10. Very smart move, Tulsi!

Being the youngest in Congress, she is the future of the party and that makes me feel REALLY good.
