My Twitter account was taken down for 11 minutes by a rogue employee. I guess the word must finally be getting out-and having an impact.

My uncle and his family immigrated from Syria over 30 years ago. He became a chief level administrator of a major university. His eldest brother got 2 PhDs and taught as an adjunct professor in his spare time. The other sibling are similarly successful.

Nothing like the President publicly stating a suspect should get the death penalty before he’s even had a hearing to ensure a fair trial.

A point I made in my comment. Bernie also signed a 2015 agreement, but as he did not want to do joint fundraising with the DNC and/or share his voter lists, he kind of did his own thing.

So your rejoinder is that “if” she lost, she “might have” taken all her money back? Have you read the whole contract, because I haven’t, and this is Donna Brazile’s words from her excerpt. “Her campaign” would have the right to use it, as you point out in that excerpt. If she lost, no campaign and since we are not…

The rigging part is Donna is trying to sell books.

And the fact that he did zip, zero, nada for down ballot Dems. But her emails?

But if she raised the money and had kept it all for her own primary wouldn’t that be much worse for the process? She’d have ALL the money to put solely on her campaign and organizing her supporters.

I’m still waiting on that check, along with the one from George Soros.

You do realize she made the money, right? Had she not made this deal with the party all of the money would have gone to her anyway.

That’s makes no sense. According to Brazille, the money was coming mostly from Clinton anyway so Sanders didn’t need it. Plus, it’s not like Bernie was hurting for money. He outraised and outspent Clinton. Bernies formidable fundraising was one of his chief advantages

“Right-baiting”.

At the end of the day, this still doesn’t change the polling Bernie had among nonwhite voters-a core Democratic constituency that he intentionally ignored with his distaste for “identity politics”.

From what I read, Bernie didn’t give any money he raised to the party (because he’s not a democrat and only ran as a democrat to cash in on blue voters), despite signing a very similar agreement. Hillary bailed out the DNC and asked for control if she became the nominee, which she did. This is right-baiting in order…

Thanks for giving the right wing media something to run with at a pivotal time. Self serving bullshit, she should be embarrassed.

Yep. I have had it with Donna Brazile. Her passing of debate questions to the Clinton Campaign was beyond unethical, and she can be directly implicated in a number of failed DNC initiatives over the past decade. She’s a party hack.

Yeah, this also glosses over the fact that she’s not only not saying the primaries are rigged, but that President Obama — after one of the most successful fundraising operations of our lifetime — totally fucked the DNC.

It’s Brazile looking for headlines. Financial mismanagement doesn’t get the clicks and book sales that implying a non-existent rigging of a nomination system Sanders lost back in February of 2016 does.

Brazile calling anyone “unethical” is the height of absurdism. This book is nothing but a sad attempt to salvage her reputation.

Where’s the rigging part? I see that they had an unusual fundraising connection(which isn’t that unusual). I don’t see any accusation that the primaries were rigged.
