Russia releasing emails it hacked months ago on the eve of the DNC. How unsurprising after their Manchurian Candidate **** the bed with his convention/doom festival.

"A document to the DNC dated May 26, 2015 — a month after Sanders kicked off his presidential bid — declared that “our goals & strategy” are to “provide a contrast between the GOP field and HRC.”

If it's genuine, this could be interpreted two ways: either the DNC was in the tank for Clinton, or they simply thought a Clinton victory was inevitable. In May of last year, no one took any of Clinton's competitors seriously: O'Malley, Webb, or Sanders.

But what is the surprise here? Since 2009, everyone knew the nominee would be Clinton. The DNC didn't make things easy for Bernie, but they're not the reason he lost.

Yep. OMG a party correctly thought the biggest lock for a non incumbent probably ever would win! How evil and corrupt of them!

Bernie lost because significantly fewer people wanted him to win. Simple as that. The only people outrageous conspiracy theories about the primary being rigged helps is Donald Trump and his evil party.

I'm not sure if this is the same as the Guccifer2.0 leak from June or not

Sad, sad day for democracy when we have to support the product of a rigged primary to keep a madman out of the White House.

I must be missing something. I'm not seeing how a document, sent "to" the DNC from an unknown source claiming to want to provide a contrast to HRC and the GOP means anything at all. There must be more to it to lead you to the conclusion that this was some plan.

I thought Preibus did a good job trying to keep the GOP from completely falling apart. He pushed for other nominees to pledge support, got Trump to promise not to run as an independent.

The issue with the RNC was even after Donald won, they kept changing the rules to get him more delegates at the convention. They ignored that a petition satisfied support criteria for requiring a roll call vote for ratifying the rules committee changes during the RNC. It was series of self inflicted wounds to satisfy the ego of the nominee.

And the RNC's arm twisting will not be forgotten. It was stupid.I think Preibud was trying more for "Party Unity" then satisfying Trump's ego,but all it did was make the disunity even more obvious.
 
Just a review of some vocabulary here. "Rigged" means cheated, like stuffing a ballot box. That people within the DNC were in Clinton's camp, including working on campaign strategy does not equate to rigged.

Clinton has been a Democrat since her early college days. Sanders has only been a Democrat off and on in order to take advantage of the larger party apparatus. Does it surprise you the members of the DNC actually have a political preference?

The question that has to be answered is, did the DNC have actual committee member rules that these emails are evidence said rules were violated? Are there any W-Schultz emails exposing her statements of neutrality were false statements?

I'm curious what is so bad. That after Bernie clearly lost the race they were pushing back against conspiracy theories about how everything was rigged against him?

The only thing I have a problem with is one staffer having a plan to try to out him as an atheist. Though it seems they never went through with it.
 
So let's see. Emails show a whole bunch of members of the DNC were pro-Clinton and they discussed it among themselves. Some may have even been involved in the Clinton campaign itself. Is that a surprise to anyone?

There are positions in the DNC that never claimed to be neutral. Donna Brazile, for example, is Vice Chair of the Democratic National Committee. She's been working on the Clinton campaign quite openly for more than a year.
Brazile has also gone to bat for Clinton several times this year, taking to television, print and social media to defend the Democratic presidential candidate.

Didn't seem to bother anyone.
