Democratic National Committee member, deputy campaign manager to both of Jesse Jackson's Presidential campaigns, and founder of the Arab American Institute James Zogby returns to Bad Faith to break down the possibilities for an open convention. How much flexibility do delegates have to defect? How might a new candidate be chosen? And what is the likelihood that the DNC -- given the lengths it has gone to marginalize leftists working within the Democratic Party -- would ever choose a candidate that improves on Biden's position on Palestine, for instance?
