34. That's not even the point. She'd probably have won even if they didn't try to sabotage him.

The point is they were NOT impartial between both primary candidates. Their own damn bylaws say they should be "evenhanded and impartial" and they weren't. DWS wasn't.

Now, everybody knows they weren't.

The suspicion was there, with all the dirty business at polls and caucuses etc. Now, there's proof that there was something to it from the top and not just some overzealous local political operatives or whiney Sanders supporters.

It's unacceptable behavior by the national party and their leader.

if it wasn't there would be no need for her to resign.

And NOW they want UNITY and that's going to be even harder.

Hoo boy.

DNC/DWS totally screwed Clinton and the party. I don't think Clinton had anything to do with it - not blaming her. This will hurt her though.

It was needless and stupid.

And sorry but it's not Putin's fault. Or mine. Or "whiners". Or the Russians. Or Poland's.

It's all on DWS and DNC national.
