(2,125 posts)After all the dirty tricks she pulled in '08 she still managed to arm twist her way to SoS. I have no doubt she threatened Obama with every dirty trick in the book. Contesting the results etc. Why did it take her four days to concede? Because she was trying to see how she could overturn the will of the voters and turn the convention into a circus.
Now she'll double down because Bernie is an outsider without the DNC even remotely behind him. If she manages to win the nomination, she will be loathed by millions on the right and the left.

(2,125 posts)and -- presto -- she finds herself in the perfect position as head of the DNC to help her buddy do better this time! The debate schedule and the "data breach" are just two of the things that come to mind that have DWS's fingerprints all over them.
Yes, I think Debbie has definitely had a hand in a lot of the shenanigans that have plagued Bernie this time around.

Never before has pointing out facts been so demonized than this campaign.

Else You Are Mad
(3,040 posts)I am male. More importantly, I do not hate Clinton. I do not hate Clinton supporters no matter how much we disagree. I actually respect and admire Clinton for all of her success. That said, I disagree with her political stances. It has nothing to do with her sex or anything else. I just do not believe she is progressive enough for me.
