As a Democrat, I'm appalled by the (alleged) conduct of the DNC and the Clinton campaign
Washington Examiner ^ | November 2, 2017 | by Capri Cafaro

It is not easy to expose the wrongdoing of powerful people or powerful organizations, especially if you have spent years in service to them. So, I tip my hat to Donna Brazile, a long-time Democratic Party operative and former interim chair of the DNC, for laying bare the mismanagement and exploitation of the organization she inherited last year.

Brazile’s damning op-ed in Politico outlined the shocking truth behind the curtains at the DNC. While many speculated that the DNC was shilling for Hillary Clinton through the 2016 primaries, I don’t know if anyone truly recognized the extent of the institutionalized shadow management of the DNC by the Clinton campaign. I certainly didn’t. I’ve been involved in the Democratic Party in Ohio and nationally for roughly two decades.

All candidates in a primary deserve the chance to compete fairly for the votes, and in this case delegates towards the presidential nomination. It is clear that the Democratic National Committee needs to do more to rebuild trust within its ranks.

I know a number of fellow Democrats that have invested their efforts into creating a culture of accountability within the DNC going forward. Let’s hope we can drain the DNC swamp quick enough to have a shot in 2018.

By the sad look on that woman’s face, the pic must be at the Democratic convention.

It’s a bit difficult for someone who has believed something all their life to now understand they are quite blind and very naive.

They will not accept being an ignorant moron easily. Every liberal falls into this category unless they profit from it.

What took the writer so long to figure out how corrupt and evil the DNC and its leaders are?

Hey, a lot of people are still clinging on to the crazy belief that the GOP leadership are for We the People.

As a conservative, I’m shocked that anyone is still a Democrat.

As a lifelong Conservative who proudly cast his first ever vote for Ronald Wilson Reagan, I'm shocked anyone is still a Republican.

My experience with liberals has always been the same.

They are to smart to be stupid.

Has Ms Cafaro asked how many $500K speeches Bill Clinton has given since last November 9, or how many $M donations have been given to the Clinton Crime Family Foundation in that time?

No, they weren’t selling influence. Nope. uh uh, not at all.

I’m sorry, but you have to have your head in a VERY dark place to have placed trust in the Clintons or, certainly over the past year, in the DNC.

It is going to be hard for the left including the media to demonize Donna Brazile.

Rigging it against Bernie was smart politics, he was a poor bet for a general election.

Keeping Biden out though, not smart, he was a stronger candidate than Shillery.

Capri Cafaro was let down by the MSM - a group that gave up their jobs as journalists and took up the position of ‘democrat butt kissers’...

Shame on the MSM...

I suspect more democrat corruption will be coming out - stuff ‘the press’ would have nipped in the bud if a Republican had tried it.
