2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumI really did see this coming.
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump called Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton "disloyal" for throwing rival Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) "under the bus."
Clinton's campaign accused Sanders' campaign of stealing millions of dollars worth of voter information on Friday. The situation exploded so much so that the Democratic party barred Sanders from accessing its voter information, a decision it later rescinded.

(4,246 posts)We have 3 candidates. Not 13. Bringing this public is beyond the pale.
So was smearing Clinton as being dishonest.
The only fault here lies with the dnc. WTF are they doing keeping ANY candidates personal info.
The candidates should be responsible for their own research and analysis. The DNC should have rolls of democratic voters that's it.
Now everything sounds like the voters are being played. It's too much info. Voters want a handshake not to be part of some big stat game. It's impersonal. Bad for Hillary bcuz it seems she's gonna play up only to her choir. Bad for Bernie bcuz his staff wanted that info.
And DWS caused this clusterfuck instead of keeping this quiet. Fuck her and the DNC.
Regan was right. Don't speak ill of your allies. That's not being dishonest. It's understanding that you have to take the good with the bad, make a judgment and NOT BLOW UP YOUR FREAKING PARTY in the course of your evaluation.
