    Thumbs down Democrats express outrage over allegations of early party control for Clinton in 2016

    Many Democrats expressed outrage Thursday at allegations from a former party chairwoman that an agreement with the Democratic National Committee gave the presidential campaign of Hillary Clinton some day-to-day control over the party early in the 2016 campaign.

    Donna Brazile, a former interim chairwoman of the party, says in a forthcoming book that an August 2015 agreement gave the Clinton campaign a measure of direct influence over the party’s finances and strategy, along with a say over staff decisions and consultation rights over issues like mailings, budgets and analytics.

    The control was given in exchange for a joint fundraising pledge by the Clinton campaign that helped fund the DNC through the election year, Brazile says.

    In response to the report Thursday, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) said in a CNN interview that she believed the primary contest between Clinton and Sen. Bernie Sanders had been rigged. “This is a real problem,” she said. “We have to hold this party accountable.”

    So the truth finally comes out... the Democratic Party was fixing the race for Hillary and undermining Bernie from the get-go.

    Crooked Hillary had the primary rigged all along...

    Read that earlier. Funny how much dirt is being dug up on the Teflon Madam but so far she is getting away with everything. Sure wish I too was above the law.

    Granted what she did to Bernie was most likely not illegal, but... but... oh heck, she has no morals anyway so saying it was immoral is a waste of type.

    The conservative sites were talking about this during the primary. When you figured in the super delegates Bernie had zero chance.
    We found out what "dealing" with progressive lefties is all about. Our side gives up something, they give up nothing and the progressives come back in a month or a year and want us to give up more... rinse and repeat...

    I don't think the system is set up for an outsider to win an election. If someone like Mittens had won the presidency he wouldn't have said shit. Trump isn't afraid to ruffle anyone's panties.

    The favoritism was pretty obvious from the beginning of the campaign, but it's just kind of shocking to hear it actually confirmed by an insider.

    Sounds like many of the state Democratic Party chairs are up in arms, especially with how the national party was hijacked as little more than a vehicle for the presidential campaign, letting state and local races suffer in the wayside. Money was pumped from state coffers into the Clinton campaign, leaving some state party organizations with a balance sheet of thousands of dollars in debt when all was said and done.

    Some major reforms could be coming.

    I honestly believe that Bernie would have beat Trump. God help us.

    Trump told everyone what was going on.
    While no one ever listens to me,
    I am constantly being told to be quiet.

    This was the end result that always happens when the left gets inside an organization.
    The one thing the Left does better then anything else is infiltrating and taking an organization over from inside.

    Back in the 30's through the 50's the old party bosses were the big city mayors and big union bosses.
    They'd seen what the Communist Left was and didn't want them taking over so ran them out and kept them out of the party.
    Then McGovern wanted to "open up the party and end the smoke filled room bosses running things". The People should run the party.

    So he opened the doors and the hard Left poured in and began taking over.
    People in the way were first moved sideways or promoted to positions with great titles but no power, and they moved the True Believers into the power spots.
    That's all they have to do; control the key positions.

    Over the years they gradually took control, then as they always do, once they had the power safely in hand they began the purges.
    In the Communists countries that was by gulag and shot to the back of the head.
    In the Democrat party it was by moves to positions of no power with hints that it was time to leave.

    Eventually, the Left purges everyone but the True Believers, then begins purging those who are not True Believers enough, until eventually all you have left are the loony Left hard core.
    This is what's happened in California, and why you're seeing the Dim party there act like total nuts.
    As an example of this, one year Joe Liebermann is the parties candidate for Vice President, two years later they run him out of the party.
    Problem for Joe was that he was a Liberal not a Progressive Leftist and had to be purged because he wasn't a True Believer.

    This is also what happened to the DNC.
    The hard Left took over at the same time they were taking over the party.
    Hillary and her True Believers infiltrated and took over. Once they had enough power, the gloves came off and they took total control and simply did what they wanted.
    One of the key features of a Left take over is that many people in the organization don't know they've been taken over and the people at the top are doing whatever they want.

    This is also why Democrats at lower levels never understand that the "normal" Democrats are not running anything and have no power.
    Once the left takes over, getting them out is nearly impossible.
    Right now what very few "normal" Democrats that are still around are being shoved out of the way so the hard core Leftist like noted native American Elisabeth Warren can increase their power and drive the party even harder left.
    As in California, they get crazier and crazier, and less and less willing to compromise even within their own party.

    There's the old line "The King is dead, long live the king".
    Meaning that once the king looses power it's safe for the people the king crapped on to stick the knife in.
    The Clinton's have crapped on a lot of other Democrats and now they think it's safe enough to stick in the knife.
    First dagger: Donna Brazile. Expect more, and expect the Clinton's to strike back with the usual low tactics to destroy the un-loyal who dare.
