Delegates Given Chants to Counter Sanders Delegates' Protests
-------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, The Guardian's Ben Jacobs reported the Democratic Party tried
to thwart protest chants from the floor by circulating a list of counter
chants on Thursday. Clinton delegates were reportedly instructed to
chant "U.S.A." when Sanders delegates chanted "No more war," and
"Hillary" when Sanders delegates chanted "Stop the TPP." Despite these
efforts, the protest chants could still be heard from the floor,
although they were largely drowned out for television audiences.
