Splitting hairs now. Favoritism means the DNC was not impartial. If they are not impartial, then it wasn't a fair contest.
"Not impartial" does not equate to rigged either. Donna Brazille herself freely admits that she favored Clinton. That as head of the DNC, it was her job to do what was best for the party and in her opinion, Clinton was a better candidate than Bernie.
Is that fair? Is that 'right'? Is that the way Democrats should handle independents entering their party to run in primaries? That is not up to me to decide because....I AM NOT A DEMORCRAT. I don't care.
But, what it is NOT is 'rigged'. If it were 'rigged', Bernie would not win caucuses - which are CONTROLED BY THE PARTY, primaries are not. Caucuses were Bernie's STRONGEST CONTESTS. In a rigged election, that would not be true. The debate schedule may be closer to what Clinton wanted than what Bernie wanted...but, they ADDED three extra debates, for a total of nine. I'm sure Clinton would have rather only had three or so. So, again, in a "rigged" election, Bernie would not be getting his way and things would be even more in favor of Clinton.
You keep referencing some "specific conversation", but you have defended Donna and the DNC countless times on here. So it's meaningless.
Quite lying. I have not defended Donna Brazille. The ONLY time I have brought her up was in context of an example of my opinion of Wikileaks, or to continously repeat it because you have a thick skull surrounding a bowling ball brain that doesn't read or take anything in context.
Zzzzzz. I don't need a personal manifesto to know you are a Hillary shill.
Then do not question my motives of saying I identify more with Libertarians than Democrats or Republicans and give examples of Libertarians who I may disagree with. If you don't want to know my philosophy, don't question it.
Oh sure. And maybe she emailed Jeb Bush and Trump. Y'know, CNN has Republican debates also.![]()
Maybe she did. Maybe she Emailed ME. Maybe not. YOU DO NOT *KNOW* and are only guessing.
Laughable spin. Now you are claiming Donna can't legally release emails because debate questions are the property of Time Warner/CNN?![]()
No, what I am saying is ANY Email she sent from CNN is the property of CNN. Check with the company YOU work for...any Email you send from your company account is THEIR property - not yours. And, you do not know what Emails she sent, from where, who owns them, and if she can legaly release them. NOBODY DOES but her.
You can make this claim about ANY leak to the press. You could argue that Ellsberg only released some of the Pentagon Papers to make Nixon looks evil. Let's focus on what we do know -Donna Brazile emailed debate questions in advance to Hillary. When exposed, she was condemned by CNN and fired.
Which does not equate to rigging an election.
You have now gone from denying the election was rigged to playing semantic games. Give me a break.
The election was NOT rigged.
YOU are changing your claims in the middle of a conversation. There is a big difference from saying Brazille "cheated" and saying she "rigged an election". It is not even "semantics"...it is a complete change in the conversation....and YOU are the one attempting to do it.
Sure it does. The idea that Donna cheated fairly (what an oxymoron!) with all the candidates has as much basis in reality as your "private server" lie.
I have no idea what you are even talking about here.
The "idea" that she "cheated fairly" was HERS, not mine. I used HER WORDS in an attempt to show your thick skulled, bowling ball brain, that I do not trust Wikileaks.
You may not like my reasons, but they are mine - not yours.
Nothing says "confidence" like limiting the debates, delaying them, and dumping them on lowly-watched Saturdays.![]()
When was that note even written? Early in the campaign when she was ahead in the polls by 20pts or so?
Of course that is the schedule she wanted...to not give Bernie a chance to catch up. That is how ALL front runners act.
A dark horse candidate from Vermont with no name recognition is supposed to financially support the party? You're insane.
Then don't bitch about Bernie not having any power during the election...Clinton threw away tens of millions of dollars into the DNC and essentially financed it with her campaign during the election. You may not like her tactics but she ensured the DNC was in HER back pocket...and Bernie dropped the ball on it.
