Brazile’s Bombshell Isn’t That Hillary Rigged the Race, But That the Democratic Party Blew It
The Daily Beast ^ | November 4, 2017 | Joy-Ann Reid

The Democratic Party has no discernible message, no recognizable plan and no real response to Donald Trump’s serial rending of basic decency and honor.

Donna Brazile may be burning the village in order to save it.

What else to take away from the former interim chair of the Democratic National Committee and longtime party operative in dropping the bombshell news this week about a fundraising agreement between Hillary Clinton and the DNC? It’s part of a larger story that focuses on the Russian hacking of the Democratic campaign and the threat to the democratic process, but it’s the “Clinton takeover of the DNC” that took over the narrative this week.

Brazile’s revelation: that Hillary Clinton in September of 2015 entered into a joint fundraising agreement with the DNC that allowed the candidate to pay down the party’s considerable debt in exchange for exercising control of some hiring decisions was seized upon by some supporters of Bernie Sanders as proof that the primary was indeed “rigged” against him. Predictably, Donald Trump joined in, tweeting in much the same way he — in tandem with Russian bot farms — did during the campaign, that the system is shot through with Clintonian criminality against which Bernie never stood a chance.

Caution has rarely been the watchword when it comes to any story containing the magic words: Hillary Clinton. The “Clinton rules” dictate that a presumption of scandal and wrongdoing must infuse every tale in which she is a character. But Brazile’s bombshell was a much greater indictment of a Clinton loyalist, Florida Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who was at the helm of the DNC before she was felled in the Wikileaks avalanche at the start of last year’s Democratic National Convention.....

Democrats - a group of narcissists and hateful ideologues scratching and clawing to try to create a reality that matches their grandiose personal delusions.

In other words, lying scoundrels and plague-infested rats.

The democrats are the party of hyperbole.

Identity politics are a good example. Take something out of the ordinary, not normal, build it up, make a brand of it, and run on that as a platform.

After identity politics is used up, as they found out in the 2016 election, they will look for something else.

The democrats have no choice but to be the party of hyperbole. Thesis and anti-thesis. Conservatives are the party of normal, therefore, leftists have to be the party of abnormal.

So now, “The Democratic Party has no discernible message, no recognizable plan and no real response to Donald Trump’s” message of 63M deplorable, bitter clingers - the normal ones.

Add to ‘negs’ inre Libs

Any time ‘they’ accuse the ‘other guy’ of doing something bad, check (not all that close) and you will find that whatever they are charging ‘you’ with is something they themselves are guilty of.

THAT is why they ‘know’ it is underhanded and probably illegal etc etc

“Donald Trump’s serial rending of basic decency and honor.”

He has more decency and honor in his pinkie, than is possessed by the totality of the hateful, gleefully murderous, sin celebrating left.
