Are we trying to lose?

Who the hell, outside of fierce party loyalists, WANTS to vote Democrat now?

This election should have been a slam dunk, but we're just begging Trump to kick our ass. Maybe the DNC deserves it.

Hello President Trump...this is all on you, Debbie.

You've just given Republicans a wonderful issue about the inability and ineptness of the DNC to protect its own data. How can they be trusted with the data of all Americans?

The issue should be gross incompetence by the DNC and a fired vendor for bad software and poor protocol.

Bernie's staff was the messenger and they could have kept this under wraps. Instead, they exploited it. That's the gross injustice here.

They think they are trying to win, just like 2010 and 2014. But they are doing a similarly awful job of actually winning.

It is amazing that the BSers are using this to gin up more anger. They are the authors of their own misfortune.

Maybe a few of them will grow up and realize that this is the real world. And the world won't end if Bernie loses.
