Elizabeth Warren: The Democratic Nomination Process Was Rigged
Mediaite ^ | 2 Nov 2017 | Justin Baragona

Posted on 11/02/2017 3:41:24 PM PDT by mandaladon

This morning, a bombshell was dropped when Politico published an excerpt from former interim Democratic National Committee chairwoman Donna Brazile’s new book — in which Brazile claims that Hillary Clinton and former DNC leadership “rigged the [party’s] nomination process” against Bernie Sanders.

During an interview today on CNN’s The Lead, one of the leading progressive lions of the Democratic Party, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), was asked point blank if she believed that Brazile’s charge was true — that the nomination process was rigged during the 2016 Democratic primary. She answered succinctly and conclusively.

“Yes,” she said.

Prior to this stunning admission, Warren was asked by anchor Jake Tapper if she was shocked by Brazile’s revelation. The Massachusetts Senator said it was a “real problem” and that the party needed to be held “accountable.” As for current DNC chair Tom Perez, Warren said his handling of the matter will serve as a test.

“Either he’s going to succeed by bringing Bernie Sanders and Bernie Sanders’ representatives into this process and they’re going to say it’s fair, it works, we all believe it,” she stated. “Or he’s going to fail. And I very much hope he succeeds.”

“Warren knows that she has to distance herself from Hillary if she wants to win the presidency.”

If Warren wants to win the presidency she would have to distance herself from herself. Come 2020, Hillary will be a just a historical footnote (hopefully an orange jumpsuit-bedecked one).

Ins’t this the same Donna Brazile that leaked CNN debate questions and topics to the Hillary Clinton campaign? I guess she should know.

The truth is, Hillary won STOLE more votes. She won STOLE more votes and got more illegal votes than Obama in 2008.

In October 2016 she called Brazile a brain dead buffalo. Relationship went down hill from there.

I wonder what’s the game.

Dems don’t talk about their dirt unless it is to take a hit out.

Long knives for Hillary?

None of this is a shock. The Demoncrat party is modeled on the Soviet Politburo.

Yes. And here's the tell. The opening volley is two WOMEN exposing some of her behavior. That takes away the girl card from Mrs. Clinton. The Clinton's are greedy, and there are powers inside/influencing the party who don't like greed if they can't cash in on it.

Brazile claims that Hillary Clinton and former DNC leadership “rigged the [party’s] nomination process” against Bernie Sanders. ......................... Hillary’s real answer could be? “How dare that FJB even try to take that which was rightfully mine.” “It was mine, you hear me, mine, mine to win!” “He stole my votes, and let the F’n B Trump win, we had the election set up to win, Sander’s screwed it up.”

First the Manafort indictment, now the Her Heinous rigged the primaries circus. All calculated to further fade Uranium One from view.

Au contraire. I think it makes it more likely she gets nailed. The party needs to get rid of her, and make her look like the crook she is in order to rebound. She can no longer be its face, and if she is she'll further destroy what little is left.

Within weeks, months at the most, they'll serve her up on a platter.

She has become toxic to the dims. She’s sucking all the air up. This is an orchestrated hit on her.

I want to believe that, but both Klintoons have skated time and time again so I’m staying skeptical and will gladly be proven wrong. Very gladly. Ecstatically gladly.
