    I've seen worse meltdowns on this forum over a Star Trek actor's picture.

    I agree Denny! When's the march on Washington? Are you organizing it?

    There's a congressional hearing. Let's see how far they get.

    I'm sure Clinton's apologists are no fan of Donna Brazile these days. She's proven to be ethically challenged in her own right (passing debate questions from CNN to Clinton campaign while working for CNN). The article below talks about how she almost fixed the primaries so Biden would be the nominee (he's have handily beaten Trump, but carry on with your Clinton worship).

    The thing is, her version of what went on in the campaign smacks of the truth. Of course there's always the other side's POV.

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/poli...dab5a0ab381_story.html?utm_term=.760be27ef31b

    “We were shocked to learn the news that Donna Brazile actively considered overturning the will of the Democratic voters by attempting to replace Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine as the Democratic Presidential and Vice Presidential nominees,” the letter began. “It is particularly troubling and puzzling that she would seemingly buy into false Russian-fueled propaganda, spread by both the Russians and our opponent, about our candidate's health.”
    So says the campaign that cheated Bernie Sanders out of a fair chance to win a legitimate primary campaign, and who robbed the DNC of its money to also cheat Sanders of a fair chance.

    Complaining about overturning the will of the Democratic voters. Is that a joke?

    No. The primaries were long over by that time (and Biden wasn't a candidate in the primaries, so it would have been very hard to rig them in his favor).

    I've seen those talking points. That's what they really are. Talking points.

    Brazile writes—quite dramatically, it must be said—about a painful phone call she had to make to Sanders in September 2016 to tell him of the “cancer” she found in the DNC: a joint fund-raising agreement between the DNC and the Clinton campaign that gave the latter full control over the DNC “long before she became its nominee.” And it was pretty thorough, with the Clinton campaign getting to name the DNC’s communications director, for example.

    You are confusing two different topics here, perhaps on purpose. Replacing Clinton with Biden had nothing to do with the primaries, and had nothing to do with the joint fund-raising agreement and any finger-on-the-scales during the primaries.

    You haven't even been picked as the nominee yet, but I appreciate your enthusiasm!

    I am confusing nothing. Two scenarios where the will of the voters would not have been fulfilled. Sanders got screwed and those who screwed him were whining about Biden replacing Clinton as somehow any worse.

    It's been a long long time since there was a likable Democrat! Likable to any but a dem.
    Even McCain couldn't push me to like Obama. Of course, the reverse is true too.

    She is a complete nonstarter for too many people, she needs to step aside and let the party try and move on.

    And I never abandoned Hillary, I never liked her in the first place.
