Surprise Surprise Surprise! The Fix Was In!

Rep. Gabbard responds to Donna Brazile's DNC findings...

[Seraphina]

I just checked Fox News and this old-news story is a headline. Why? Hmmm...is it because Fox, which is an Orwellian mouthpiece for Trump, wants to distract from the news that Trump's campaign manager was charged with conspiracy against the United States 4 days ago?

Nah, that's just a crazy thought.

As noted earlier, the excerpts from Brazile's book has garnered some notice AND elicited Gabbard and Warren to publicly announce concurrence.

Rep Gabbard said:

We heard from Donna Brazile that what many people had suspected for a long time has turned out to be true. The DNC secretly chose their nominee over a year before the primary elections even occurred . . .


I also note, that if the Clinton's were still potent politically, Elizabeth Warren would clearly be on the Clinton Enemy List now. (Rep. Gabbard already was).

Additionally, it's not the DNCs responsibility, job, function or purpose to select the nominee. Curiously, had they not done so (at Hillary's behest) there would be LESS evidence of special rules for the Clintons, special considerations for the Clintons, special looking the other way for the Clintons and special privileges for the Clintons.

We're looking at a snatching of defeat from the jaws of victory scenario, considering Trump made all those points about the Clintons, and won with them.

Additionally, some of us old timer farts would strongly prefer losing in a fair fight than to suffer the further embarrassment of losing a rigged fight.


Have Elizabeth Warren, Rep Gabbard and myself won anyone over yet ??

Politics shouldn't be a game at all.

So you don't agree with Bismarck, huh?



A pragmatic sonofabitch but he had a point.

Meanwhile, this just came out.

Bombshell report reveals Russians altered at least some of leaked Podesta emails

And, Adolf, we get that.  Shitheads like you voted and the snowflakes who want "purity" sat on their asses.  I hope they learned their lesson but I have little hope.  Fucktards like you are beyond hope.

If your nazi femme fatale Hitlery and the DNC hadn't rigged the primaries against Bernie he may have gone on to beat President Trump in the general election. Could've been President Sanders instead.

Today’s lesson: Being quoted by Donald Trump means being MIS-quoted by Donald Trump. Stop trolling me. #NeverSaidHillaryRiggedElection

Then CNN and MSNBC must be colluding with FOX, then.

Elizabeth Warren turning on Hillary is BIG.

(to put it bluntly and succinctly)

That Warren felt safe to do so is also amazing.

Clearly, the Clinton Enemy List has been neutered.

Tee hee . . .

Go check CNN and MSNBC. I did, just now. 
Puerto Rico, Bowe Bergdahl, tax reform, Trump's trip to Asia and Harvey Weinstein -all newsworthy - are the headlines. The old DNC news isn't even above the fold yet on Fox it's front and center.

Are you not willing to question why Fox deems this more important than those other news items?

You just don't like the story because it shows the in fighting and the sharp divisions within the democrat party. You're fine with stories that are negative toward Republicans, but when news events come out revealing the dems' own brand of corruption you and others get your feathers ruffled. If this very same story was turned around on the Republicans you would be all over it.
...and it's not exactly an old story. There were just suspicions that Hillary and the DNC rigged the election against Bernie. Now that Brazile's book came out those suspicions have been confirmed with even greater clarity and insight as to how Hitlery tried to buy and control the DNC.

Yes...rigged it by getting more votes and more delegates.

This is an interesting analysis, coming as it does from a GOP polling operation.

http://graphics.wsj.com/elections/2016/how-clinton-won/

MRS. CLINTON WON NEARLY 3.7 MILLION MORE VOTES

Mrs. Clinton won the biggest states—Texas, Florida, New York and, on Tuesday, California. She also won the most votes: 15.5 million, compared with 11.9 million for Mr. Sanders.

Ah, but they delved deeper.....

MRS. CLINTON WON DEMOCRATS

Mr. Sanders won big margins among independents who cast ballots in Democratic contests. But he lost Democratic Party members by close to 30 percentage points. It’s hard to win the Democratic nomination without winning Democrats. Independents accounted for fewer than one-quarter of voters.

In many states with primaries the voting is only open to party members.  The DNC or RNC do not control this, the states do.  

Finally, they note:

Voters under age 30 were the fuel behind Mr. Sanders’s campaign. He won more than 70% of them—a bigger share than Barack Obama claimed in 2008. Moreover, voters age 18-29 were more important this year than in 2008; their share of the electorate grew by three points.

Still, seniors remained the larger group, and Mrs. Clinton won more than 70% of them.

Mrs. Clinton topped Mr. Sanders among all income and education levels, but she was particularly strong among those with the highest incomes and college attainment.

Again.  Had Sanders won the nomination I would have voted for him.

But he didn't.
