I must admit it will be really ironic if Sanders gets scuttled by a Clinton style scandle
Maybe the Secret to Success in the fucked up society we have become is the ability to Get Away With it.
A few people on Sanders campaign staff screwed up and gave in to temptation and looked into an open window they shouldn't have been looking through. Stupid, amateurish and not very ethical. But when you have thousands of people, there are going to be people who do stupid and uinethical things.
Yeah, maybe Sanders and his campaign managers should have handled this better. Keep their anger in check, take their medicine and moved on.
But it's like the Dean Scream. A very minor thing magnified and used by the Powers that Be to scuttle an outsider, and marginalize everyone who supports change.
"You went through a Stop Sign on a deserted road? It's the gallows for you!"
Meanwhile, certain insiders with their slick professional staffs and armies of consultants and legal staffs and Big Bucks Backers screw up on a larger scale, and continually get away with it. A Candidate flaunts the rules of National Security and sets up a Homebrew Server for sensitive communications because they can't be bothered with the rules that apply to mere mortals.
And we do shit like setting a match to the Middle East, and that's just a silly little mistake.
The Establishment supports crap like the TPP, Deregulation and other fundamental robberies on a systemic level, and gets away with it.
If you're a mere grassroots human, you're not allowed to mess up.
We justify wrongdoing as long as it's Connected. Then it's okay, as long as you're patient and ride it out, the system will make sure you move up a notch on the totem pole.
