You mean like what the long-term republican insiders and GOPe were doing to Trump?

Exactly. Its the same entitled, internal party politics at work. The only difference is, I believe, that the GOP was not as far down the oligarch path that the DNC was. Witch Hillary has spent the last 30 years trying to make the DNC her own. At least the GOP allowed some competition, and Reince Priebus in particular, managed it such that Trump would get a fair shot. As Trump himself said, he came in expecting not to like Priebus, but by the end of the nomination process, came to respect and value him.

This actually explains the whole “Russians did it” and Wikileaks dust up. Somebody, or several somebodies, in the DNC were secret Berners, saw what was going on, were horrified by it, and leaked the whole package of emails to Wikileaks, which then published them. After all, a very similar thing happened with Deep Throat and Watergate. “The Russians did it” is now and has always been a diversion to obstruct investigations into the real scandal of the DemonCraps using the entire Federal investigative apparatus to spy on and undermine the Trump campaign.

Better the back rooms. This whole primary thing is a waste of public money which would be better spent on education and health care.

And the democratic voter is okay with somebody else taking over the responsibility. Which is a very socialistic mindset...

That seems a bit far fetched.

What would you estimate as the dollar cost to purchase the same TV exposure received free for one televised primary debate?

In the millions of dollars for sure.

And could you even place a number on the value to a candidate of the public exposure received via a televised debate?

Then multiply all that by the total number of televised republican primary debates (I think it was 12).

So imagine if the republicans had 12 televised primary debates and the democrats had none because they only had one candidate.

The DNC couldn't let republicans have all that free TV time and exposure while their candidate had none.

So Hillary had to have at least one challenger to justify televised debates giving her equivalent air time and public exposure.

But the democrats didn't expect a sorry candidate like Bernie to really give her a fight and almost run off with the trophy!

And wasn't her weakness in the rigged primary an early indicator of the general lack of enthusiasm for her?

But democrats were too busy planning her coronation to even consider the possiblity that she could lose the general election.

“While the DNC charter explicitly stipulates that the DNC chair and their staff must ensure neutrality in the Democratic Party presidential primaries, it is “a discretionary rule that it didn’t need to adopt to begin with,” [DNC attorney Bruce] Spiva asserted.”

hahaha - Too funny!


That sort of follows the (D) party thinking on the Constitution, doesn’t it?

You agree with the side that is in the wrong. The side that is probably going to lose this lawsuit.

Here’s the critical argument:

“PEOPLE PAID MONEY IN RELIANCE on the understanding that the primary elections for the Democratic nominee were fair and impartial. That’s what the Democratic National Committee’s own charter says. It says it in black and white.”

Well, the “official” dnc party leaders ARE extreme socialists, but they didn’t want people to recognize that fact, nor did they want people (outside of the privacy of their DC offices!) to publicize and cheer that extremist socialist-communist fact.

But Bernie recognized the communism-socialist side of the youth in the universities, spoke to those communists-socialists-racists, and THEY responded far out of proportion to what Hillary’s campaign “wanted” ... After only a few speeches, Bernie was no longer a “token” resistance “See, I am not a socialist - “I” am running AGAINST the socialist!” news quote.

Yea Bernie knew he was being screwed and didn’t care because all he sees are dollar signs in his future.

It is past time to take it back.

What is the difference between Domestic meddling/interfering/rigging of elections and what the Russians supposedly did?
