Here is one thing of which you can be SURE

[FlatBaroque]

The Clinton campaign, which eyes these hundreds of thousands of enthusiastic supporters with great envy, has a complete and accurate copy of Bernie entire database. The breach served two purposes: 1) An obvious trap for another campaign, and 2) to leave a back door open for the Clinton campaign. That is the sign of a truly Rovian campaign; when one act of skulduggery meets multiple objectives.

1. No doubt about it. I wouldn't trust her any further than....n/t

3. Totally agree,

and these type of tactics are going to give us a President Kruz.

4. K&R'd!!!

5. Hm?

6. Too many Clintonites or Clinton Leaners on those lists. I think it's revenge for

Bernie "using" the Democrat label. Many think he's just an imposter a la Trump. However, there's a new team/s in town and the rigid two parties are starting to crack.

I'm going to guess (also hope) this does not end well for The Establishment...who had the tools at their behest.

7. That would be a really stupid thing to do

and that means it's probably happened just as you infer. Stupidity is the hallmark of her campaign, and tone-deafness is its most obvious failing.

8. Does anyone know if it would be possible (and worthwhile) for

Bernie's campaign to circumvent the DNC's info altogether by building a database of their own, state by state? Even if the DNC would again allow access, I don't really trust them anyway.

Yes, I know that this would be time consuming, but Bernie has no shortage of volunteers who want to help. And that help would include tech savvy millennials. The info can be obtained by Secretary of State voter registration bases in each state, and are usually available to candidates for little or no cost, I think. It would just be a matter of sorting out the info and creating Bernie's own files.

Someone please correct me if I am wrong, but it is my understanding that the DNC's database is registered Dems only. If this is indeed the case, wouldn't it be helpful to also have unenrolled/independent (and/or) green party voters on the lists too? We know for a fact that Bernie is polling very well with independents, so wouldn't it be a good idea to focus GOTV efforts on them as well?

Additionally, the above-mentioned demographic(s) are likely to not be as phone call weary, as registered Dems. Especially in early primary states where they get calls all of the time for polling as well as GOTV efforts from all 3 campaigns.

What do you guys think? Is this too overly ambitious, given the short window of time that we have before Iowa, NH and South Carolina? Do you think it could be done?

Maybe this is a dumb and/or pie-in-the-sky idea, but I'm just kind of brainstorming (fwiw) here...

12. This is what I was thinking. But I do not have any idea if it

can be done. I hope so - I am completely sick of the DNC and all their related groups.

[PotatoChip]

17. Me too. I'm SO sick of them!

I just hope the whole thing backfires in a really big way.

10. DNC dirty tricks.

[litlbilly]

11. The DNC and DWS are using Rove tactics. I believe they did this on purpose, Discusting.

[litlbilly]

13. IMO, Hillary just lost her campaign, just heard the news from the Sanders campaign, they are going

to federal court to make the DNC to allow them access to their own info. I cant believe what the
Clinton people are trying to pull here. Just amazing. Hillary's people will wish they never tried to pull this kind of crap.

[raindaddy]

18. How smart is it to fracture the party over her insatiable desire to be President?

Win it in the trenches presenting your ideas to the voters not by following Karl Rove's footsteps...

[bkkyosemite]

14. Disgusting evil cheaters DNC you will regret your actions

because either Bernie wins over this or a Repub will get in.

[bkkyosemite]

15. MSNBC just said

Why is the DNC only going after Bernie since the fire wall issue all could see. Also they keep saying that Bernie is not a Democrat. I'm angry.

[FlatBaroque]

16. Don't get mad, get even

Redouble your support and strengthen your commitment.
