Perhaps they should have favored Sanders if they wanted to maximize their probability of winning the general election. But they didn't.

Re: Donna Brazille - How HRC Rigged the Nomination
Forest for the trees, John. The DNC was acting in the best interest of Clinton, not Sanders. It wasn't giving Sanders a fair shake. It was unethically backing Clinton before the Democratic voters made up their minds. It doesn't matter if Clinton was the choice all along - the DNC was acting unethically.JohnStOnge wrote:Guys, I said all along during the primaries and afterward that I thought the polls showed that the Sanders was the stronger candidate for the General Election.

Re: Donna Brazille - How HRC Rigged the Nomination
As I said: The DNC favored Hillary Clinton. But that's different than saying the primaries were "rigged." Whey you say something is "rigged" that means there is no chance that it'll turn out in another way. It means that, in this case, even if most people who were going to vote in Dem primaries wanted Sanders, something would happen to make sure Clinton won. That didn't happen.Ibanez wrote:Forest for the trees, John. The DNC was acting in the best interest of Clinton, not Sanders. It wasn't giving Sanders a fair shake.

Unethical? I don't know. Remember: Sanders is not a Democrat. I don't know if it's unethical to resist having someone who is not a Democrat winning the Democrat nomination.
To me it's amazing that there aren't systems in place to make sure that doesn't even happen. It seems to me like if you are going to run for the nomination of a political Party you ought to have to be a member of that Party.

Re: Donna Brazille - How HRC Rigged the Nomination
Heard confirmation with respect to the fact that Donna Brazille doesn't think the nomination was rigged today. I was driving to work early this morning listening to America in the Morning with Jim Bohannon. He interviewed Ms. Brazille. He asked her directly if the primaries were rigged.
She answered "No, Jim, the primaries were not rigged." She did say the situation was "unethical."
Later I was on the road to do some field work and was listening to Talk Louisiana on the Baton Rouge NPR Station. The host didn't ask her just time. He just made a statement about the primaries being rigged.
She responded, "It was unethical, but not rigged." She went on to explain that it made the DNC's job harder and also that it would not be possible for the DNC to rig primaries.
The Democrat primaries were not rigged. The claim that they were rigged is actually a ridiculous assertion because you could see from the polling that, if anything. Sanders OVER performed a little bit with respect to what polls said about his support level among people who planned to vote in Democrat primaries.

Re: Donna Brazille - How HRC Rigged the Nomination
Why should a Party allow someone who is not a member of it run for its nomination? That makes absolutely no sense. Do you not think that someone who runs for the Democratic Party nomination for President should be a Democrat? Or you can substitute "Republican."

pay attention now, John, because I won't always be here to help you through life.

The cream of the jest is that still she would be President today if her staff had just listened to Bernie's staff when they tried to tell why Bernie won the Michigan primary in a huge upset while her staff was busy counting the union vote as in the bag. Of all the gaffes that was the one that struck a vital spot.

http://www.cnn.com/2017/11/07/politics/ ... index.htmlHere's the key passage from Brazile's piece in Politico last week, which was excerpted from her book that is being released today:
"I had tried to search out any other evidence of internal corruption that would show that the DNC was rigging the system to throw the primary to Hillary, but I could not find any in party affairs or among the staff. I had gone department by department, investigating individual conduct for evidence of skewed decisions, and I was happy to see that I had found none. Then I found this agreement."
"The funding arrangement with HFA and the victory fund agreement was not illegal, but it sure looked unethical. If the fight had been fair, one campaign would not have control of the party before the voters had decided which one they wanted to lead. This was not a criminal act, but as I saw it, it compromised the party's integrity."
In the first paragraph of that excerpt, Brazile says she can't find any evidence that the "DNC was rigging the system" until she unearths the fundraising agreement. In the second paragraph, she calls the fundraising deal "unethical" and adds: "It compromised the party's integrity." She adds that, as a result, the primary wasn't a fair fight.
Which is the exact opposite -- to the word! -- of what Brazile told O'Donnell Tuesday morning.
