BREAKING: The Democratic power structure, from top to bottom supports Hillary [View all] cali Jun 2015 OP

The DNC should stay out of it for fairness. hrmjustin Jun 2015 #1

that would be nice, but it's just not how it really works. cali Jun 2015 #3

Or support ALL the democratic candidates...not rocket science. Rex Jun 2015 #7

I was looking for a link or some sort of official announcement, dont see one randys1 Jun 2015 #64

But do the Democratic grassroots support the Democratic power structure? kentuck Jun 2015 #2

Certainly the grass roots do not support the policies pushed by the party powers. Scuba Jun 2015 #20

It's hardly surprising that the "Democratic power structure" supports a candidate pnwmom Jun 2015 #4

no. it's not, but there is a lot of denial that the DNC is functioning as if she were an incumbent cali Jun 2015 #8

Thanks, cali. This discussion is important. truedelphi Jun 2015 #39

How are they doing that? Bernie's going to be in the debates, right? pnwmom Jun 2015 #11

By pretending he doesn't exist AgingAmerican Jun 2015 #24

Not true. The Democratic party has Bernie's photo on their official site right beside Hillary. pnwmom Jun 2015 #35

Your sample is too small. That's why we have MineralMan Jun 2015 #94

As do the actual voters. You know, us rank-n-file "Democrats"? Get outside the echo chamber. Tarheel_Dem Jun 2015 #9
