2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumBarbara Boxer's actions both during the Nevada convention and after can easily
be explained in my mind. She is not only furthering the meme coming out of Camp Clinton that she is winning and viable, but also is a direct gas lighting attempt at Sanders and his supporters.
It can easily be explained as: She fully expects to be one of the 50% Women appointed to Cabinet positions- along with DWS.

Soviet Russia was a picnic compared to what these folks have in mind for anyone asking questions and not falling in line.
Don't forget how much Hill loves that Surveillance Money, and all the Surveillance Programs!

(6,145 posts)IMO she knew the Democratic Party of Nevada was going to make a rule change to take back delegates without the consent of the convention and she was there with a speech to smooth things over. "Smile, we're all Democrats" was the best she had and it obviously wasn't enough.
It was a disaster and if that was their effort to build bridges and unify the party it seems to have backfired badly. Two delegates would not have mattered, they really should have let it go.

(24,010 posts)Of course they should have let it go! Only a couple of delegates were at issue. But they didn't. And guess where it went next? All over the Corrupt Media for the edification of the voters voting in KY and OR yesterday!
It was a Rovian-Brockian dirty trick, much like the one that John Lewis is implicated in (--the false caption of the Bernie Sanders civil rights photo, peddled to Time magazine, which had to print a retraction; meanwhile, Lewis is saying he never met Bernie in the civil rights movement; Bernie's activism is in fact very well-documented, as it turns out--and all this happening in the midst of the southern state primaries!). Same type of "swift-boating" operation, this time with Barbara Boxer as the establishment "name" to legitimize the crap that is going down.
No, I don't believe it was innocent on Boxer's part. Nor was John Lewis innocent. It is pathetic to see former heroes stoop to such depths. And I don't know where they fit into the web of Clinton money that has gotten sucked into the Clinton Foundation from sources like the woman-hating Saudis, and then spewed out over the land to net endorsers and super-delegates and surrogates and shills and Clintonbots on the internet, but it would not surprise me in the least if money was the heart of the matter.
We'd have to be super-sleuths numbering in the thousands, to track down every thread of the Clinton money web. It reaches into Haiti, into Honduras, into Russia, throughout the Middle East, and in many other places, as well as throughout this country. So we just have to pick up trends, you know, to figure out who we can trust. Trend no. 1, with the Clintons, is seeking money, laundering money and distributing money for the purposes of gaining more power. Boxer and Lewis are now suspects in the Clinton money game. We already know that Dolores Huerta is bought and paid for ($100,000 from the Clinton Foundation), to pay for her phony shit-fit at the NV caucus, where she LIED that Sanders' supporters shouted her down with "English only!" (It's on vid. She LIED.) She's also been peddling Clinton bullshit in media interviews. Bought. And. Paid. For.
Who else?
And I don't care who they are--nor how much I may have admired them in the past. If they do shit like this, they are heroes no more.
