    Bernie is a good man who was robbed. Bernie is authentic and follows the new school approach to politics -- speak from your heart. Obviously I disagree with virtually all of his policy positions... BUT I respect the fact that he leads without fear of how he is being perceived. He puts it out there. Unlike Hillary the disgusting snake who uses focus groups and internal polling before making any decisions.

    Wouldn't it be awesome if it was Pence vs Kaine rather than Hillary vs Trump? I feel like most people would prefer that.

    The rules governing the DNC. Those rules state that the DNC will remain impartial during the primary.

    This has nothing to do with being a sore loser or not. Sanders wouldn't have won even had they remained impartial.

    That doesn't excuse officers of the DNC taking sides during the primary.

    There is no evidence to suggest Hillary did anything that violated the rules.

    You are wrong that it wasn't really close. It actually was fairly close.

    Here's a reference to the reals.

    That is specific rule of the DNC that was violated. Whether or not it changed the outcome doesn't negate the fact that the DNC violated that bylaw.

    Props for posting the rule.

    What is the grounds for violating the rule, thinking in favor of one, privately speaking in favor of one, or publicly acting in favor of one?

    I would say being an officer and using DNC email to advocate strategies in favor of one candidate and against another would demonstrate breaking the rule.

    I think if they favored Hillary in private conversations or even in their own private emails, it would have been fine, had they not advocated taking any action.

    For example saying, "I like Hillary, I hope Sanders loses." would be fine. However saying, "I think we can help Hillary by putting out a story to the media about Bernie's religion because it will help with demographic x." would be crossing the line, because it is a representative of the DNC actually taking advocating specific actions to help one candidate over another.

    The only way to save Hillary is if she had made Sanders her VP pick.

    Trump will now be our next president. God help us all.

    That's a ridiculous statement, with all due respect. Hillary Clinton will crush Donald Trump. Wait and see, ye of little faith.

    There's no such thing as Bernie Bros, Sam. That belongs with chem trails, FEMA camps, ACA death panels, and conspiracy theories leaping to blame Vladimir Putin for influencing US elections without evidence.

    What do you mean without evidence?

    The fbi warned the dnc months ago that Russia hacked them. Today they said "beyond a reasonable doubt" that Russian hackers who are supported by the Putin regime did this.

    The Times reported the Putin link as front page news this AM, and it's been corroborated by the FBI.

    What is your basis for pretending that it's a hoax? :confused:

    I think you give the American public too much credit.

    The likeability numbers tell a very bad story for Clinton. She's not going to win.

    I assume most people in this thread watched Clinton Cash over the weekend?

    Here's the full documentary(1hr 4min)


    [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=td2pyyCau30[/youtube]





    Clinton's went from dead broke to filthy rich after robbing countries like Haiti follow the earthquake. She hired her brother who had no experience to go mine gold after the country allowed their first permit in 40 years I think they said in hopes that the revenue from the gold would rebuild their country. Instead, the Clinton's walked off with it. The Clinton's did this to a number of countries while appointing family and friends that have no experience. She sure cares about minorities, right?

    Also, we know Bill Clinton raped women and even settled with one. Hillary attacked them and silenced them. She sure is pro women, right?

    She committed treason by sending out confidential e-mails on her server. Then committed yet another crime by deleting it all.

    Liberals oppose free speech, they're fascists that mob up on you and try to speak over you. They physically assault people and spit on people who are for Trump.

    I hope if Trump wins that liberals are stupid enough to rise up. How do they expect to physically over take the republicans when they're against guns and don't have any? On the flip side, conservatives are locked and loaded.

    All I can say is, I hope similar to China that we can ban Islam. Similar to France we can ban Scientology. And to top it off, deport every single illegal. Islam and Scientology are a scam, while illegal immigrants are committing a crime just by being here. They've all got to go.

    Why should you care that Vladimir Putin wants a narcissistic racist demagogue to be President?

    Because I'm an American.

    What are you?
