Bernie Sanders Supporters Sue the Hillary Clinton Campaign of 2016
News Blaze ^ | July 10, 2017 | Dwight L. Schwab Jr.

Ominous signs of a power struggle in the Democratic Party are emerging. The repercussions could spill over into the 2020 presidential election and whomever the Democrats select as their nominee. That in turn could spell disaster for the party’s chances.

Campaign donors to far left socialist presidential candidate Bernie Sanders are angry. They feel the 2016 primary elections in their party were “rigged,” and there is ample proof they are right. They are using the law to make their point loud and clear.

The class action lawsuit alleges that the now-disgraced Debbie Wasserman Schultz-led Democratic National Committee worked in conjunction with Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign to keep Bernie Sanders out of the White House. The lawsuit has been going on for months, yet the liberal media is reluctant to even mention it.

Average Americans have no idea of the animosity that brews between the Sanders and Clinton bases. It is bound to spill over into the presidential election in 2020. Yet the lockstep right arm of the Democratic Party chooses to remain silent so as not to reveal the deep friction among far left and moderate liberals.

One of the lawyers representing the Sander’s people is Jared Beck, a Harvard Law graduate. He is one of several attorneys who filed the suit against the DNC and its former chairperson, Debbie Wasserman Schultz.

The lawsuit is asking retribution for donations made by supporters to the Vermont senator’s campaign. They cite no less than six legal claims for the DNC’s “deceptive conduct, negligent misrepresentation and fraud”

The lawsuit cites Article 5, Section 4 of the DNC’s charter. It accuses the committee of violating its own rules by working with a single campaign to effectively choose who would win the Democratic ballot.

The turmoil could result in the left gaining the upper hand in fundraising for the next presidential election. That could very well lead to their prominent voice selecting a far left candidate in 2020. Prominent socialists include far left Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts.

Liberals constitute 27 percent of the voting population in this country according to a recent Harvard poll. Known for its liberal tendencies, one wonders what that percentage would be in a non-partisan poll. The idea of Warren being the party’s presidential nominee brings back memories of ultra-liberal George McGovern’s landslide loss to Richard Nixon in 1972.

Hillary was out in full force before the real campaign started....securing those pledged votes in such numbers that there's no way Bernie could beat her.

It was something she learned from Obama.

Interesting timing given that the Feebs are purportedly after Bernie.

Bernie Sanders supporters have a point. I encourage them to follow this path every chance that comes up. The nomination was stolen from Senator Sanders. Do they seriously think that the DNC will give Senator Sanders or an equal Progressive any more of a fair chance for the next nomination?

I even suggest to them that if it had been Sanders vs Trump, who knows what the outcome would be. (nothing wrong with stirring the pot) <^..^>

Just go over to Democratic Underground to browse and you can still see a seething divide between them even now. Any unity is minimal and brittle at best.

This is the REAL story nobody is covering. The suit against the DNC by Bernie supporters. They spent millions on a rigged game.

The DNC in depositions said they control the party and there should be no expectation of free and fair elections. Seriously. That was their defense.

MSM is, of course, ignoring it.

Well duh Bernie and company-hellary and her henchpeople screwed you like everyone else that crosses their paths. The demonrat primaries were just a waste of time, money, and hot air. Queen hellary the magnificent was already anointed as the nominee. But a funny thing happened at the ballot box despite all the demonrat fraud-queen hellary lost! Bahahahahaha

Of course the game was rigged. What can you say to a guy who knows the dice are loaded and bets against them anyway? “Best of luck”?

We really have an American Pravda media. Not based on coercion or guns to their heads, though they likely would destroy their careers going against the system, but based on ideology. They are out to destroy Trump. They don’t report any negative stories on Obama or Hillary. They’ve lost all credibility.

It even starts at the various journalism schools. Students are taught there’s no “Truth” there’s only spin and perspective. No wonder they see their roles as propagandists.

The Hillary supporters over in Dummyland act like thugs and demand total obedience.

The Sanders supporters hit and run for their lives.

This could be a video game!

They’re fighting over stolen funds that Hillary already exported where it cannot be touched. Some day in the future, someone is going to declare that they are broke.
