DWS on CNN: "Unfortunately, the Sanders campaign doesn't have anything other than bluster at the moment that they can put out there"

Is there ANY OTHER Democratic candidate DWS supports besides Hillary? Obvious answer: NO.

[jfern]

1. I hope that lawsuit continues and makes this Hillary hack squirm.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. I thought the DNC existed for the purpose of helping ALL Dem candidates

without taking sides in primary elections.

Silly me.

That isn't DWS' thumb on the scale; it's her whole body.

[ChisolmTrailDem]

5. Hillary hijacked it. nt

[Robbins]

3. Um

she just proved bernie's point.DNC chair isn't suspose to take sides during primarys.

[peacebird]

4. Lets hope the discovery phase rips open the corruption of DWS

[brooklynite]

9. You DO know that the lawsuit was cancelled, right?

[ViseGrip]

11. Bernie said tonight the investigationi is just beginning. The debate opening was stunning on data

[brooklynite]

13. That's the audit. "Discovery" is a lawsuit function.

[catnhatnh]

30. Try again:

[brooklynite]

34. The lawsuit was dropped when the DNC and Sanders came to agreement on restoring his data access

Sorry to disappoint you.

[Scuba]

39. Source please.

[Scuba]

41. Waiting 3 hours for you to back up this claim. Crickets, despite your posting during this period.

Have you got a source for this or did you just pull it out of your ass?

[notadmblnd]

6. She's a poor loser

[Fantastic Anarchist]

7. Cool story, DWS.

[angrychair]

8. Soooo

So much for The "impartiality" myth. The DNC and DWS have made it clear, both the other day and with this comment, who they support.
Hint: it's not only one of three Democrats running for the office of President.

[Hoyt]

10. One of her jobs is to win Presidency. Who else should she support but one most likely to do it?

Her other job is to help local and Congressional DEMOCRATS. Clinton can help there too.

[Kentonio]

12. Favoring one candidate during the primaries is despicable

[Hoyt]

16. Her job is to win the Presidency. It's really that simple. And I don't think she is favoring anyone

Sanders isn't going to win. I'd love to see him have the votes, but he doesn't.

[Matariki]

17. "And I don't think she is favoring anyone"

[artislife]

26. I would think the party would wait until the actual primaries to draw that conclussion

You know, let the little people actually vote and caucus..



And some wonder why there are a slew of us who are pretty fed up with the process this go around.

[bullwinkle428]

15. When Howard Dean was running DNC, he REFUSED TO VOTE in the

NH primary! He said that he would not have felt right had he been speaking out about the need to maintain some sense of neutrality during the battle for the nomination, and then cast a vote favoring one particular candidate. How the standards have fallen.

[Hoyt]

20. I think we would be better with Dean in charge, but he's not. And when Dean said that, there were

a number of candidates who could take the general election. Right now, there is really only one. Sanders would be another McGovern. I wish to heck that were not true, but I'm convinced it is. Plus, I don't think Clinton is being favored. Sanders is losing to Clinton, so we either accept that or try to blame it on someone. Sanders would be losing if Dean were chairperson.

[CincyDem]

33. While I agree with your conclusion...

...DWS is mismanaging the optics on this.

Sanders would likely be losing if Dean were chairperson. Which begs the question, why doesn't DWS level the playing field. The overt intra-party partisanship is unnecessary. If doesn't matter if HRC wins the nomination by 1 delegate or 100 delegates. Once some state chair announces from the floor "The Great state of blah/blah/blah (probably Arkansas) proudly casts its 6 delegate votes for Hillary Rodham Clinton". The floor will erupt, the balloons will fall and nobody will remember how many delegates cast for HRC after that. The morning paper have the final tally and nobody will care.

My point is DWS doesn't have to skew the playing field. She can be the great unbiased leader. All these games gain no results and make the party look petty, risking that the percent of misguided dem voters decide staying home is better than HRC - a travesty that's unnecessary but for the optics of DWS' actions.

[Kentonio]

40. Neither DWS or you have the right to make that decision

The primary is there to democratically choose a candidate, if the decision has been made already by party insiders then there is no democracy anymore. If your only choice is vote for the party-appointed candidate or sit back and hand the white house to the Republicans, then that is not democracy.

[karynnj]

31. Vermont. ....

[Dem2]

32. Did Howard move to NH?

Did you mean to say VT?

[madfloridian]

18. Wrong. Choice of candidate is NOT hers to make.

Her job requirements are that she is remain neutral.

Using the word bluster against Bernie is far from neutral.

[Hoyt]

23. The DNC's purpose is to get Democrats elected. It's that simple.

[madfloridian]

24. DWS has chosen our candidate for us.

[HoneychildMooseMoss]

25. And they've been doing a damn lousy job of that

Pathetic, in fact.

[TSIAS]

35. Even that is debatable

DWS wouldn't support Democrats in South Florida because she happened to be best buddies with three of the GOP representatives.

DWS epitomizes why most people hate politicians and want nothing to do with the process.

[demwing]

36. Her job is to win Presidency AFTER we vote for our candidate

that's why we call ourselves Democrats.

[Hoyt]

37. You'd be hard pressed to find that in the DNC Mission Statement.

[onecaliberal]

14. Fire that thing now!!!

[JDPriestly]

19. The vendo4 for the DNC was entrusted with th e data for all the campaigns.

They ran their databases so that the y. Were. Not secure . The ve ndor. Hire d people. Who w ere. Associated close ly w ith the. clintons and DW S.

A lot of. Que stions re main to be asked and answered.

That company had all the data of all the candidat es and could have obtain ed or 5aken it without anyone noticing. I would like. To se e litigation about this becaus e the discover y would be very revealing about the true nature of th e leadership in the. Democrati Party

[SwampG8r]

22. You got big thumbs too huh?

Me too but this new phone has a bigger keyboard
Better days for the thumb hung ahead!

[Blue_In_AK]

21. As the DNC head

she should be impartial and keep her mouth shut. Obviously not going to happen.

[Renew Deal]

27. Can you blame her? She's been under attack by the Sanders campaign.

[valerief]

28. When will CNN ask Trump what he thinks of Bernie? I mean, since the Dem debate is

so obviously a GOPfest for the networks.

[Enthusiast]

29. It couldn't be any more obvious.

[coyote]

38. Indeed

the DNC is undermining one of its own candidates and it's pathetic. When money, power, and the establishment is at stake, they will stop at nothing to get one of their own in. I'm hardly surprised.
