Martin O'Malley accuses DNC of 'rigging' primary process in Clinton's favor

http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/aug/28/martin-omalley-democratic-national-committee-hillary-clinton-primaries

Democratic presidential candidate Martin O’Malley laid into the Democratic National Committee (DNC) in a speech to its annual summer meeting for what he called a “rigged” primary process in Hillary Clinton’s favour.

“The Republicans stand before the nation, malign our president’s record of achievements, denigrate women and immigrant families, double down on trickle-down, and tell their false story,” the former Maryland governor said. “We respond with crickets, tumbleweeds and a cynical move to delay and limit our own party debates.”

His presidential rival Bernie Sanders reportedly told journalists that he agreed with O’Malley that the primary process was rigged.

I guess Sanders' record-busting rallies don't count.

But so far as fixing NY election problems, let's hope the audit answers some questions for us. NY has had problems for a long time and the GOP-led House has stymied efforts at reform.

They wanted Hillary appointed. They never expected a fight on their hands.

They changed rules for first debate each time is poll numbers beat there "new" rules to be in the debate. This was only done because they did not want him having a national voice in a debate because he was running on getting money out of politics. The DNC and media could not allow him to speak because having 2 candidates going after there cash cows would be bad.
