15. I guess I don't get it

So far I've seen a half-dozen out of 20,000 that contained some nasty hardball politics stuff discussed among staffers, but I've seen nothing where any ACTION was taken by anyone to "rig" the system against Bernie...and I like Bernie. If he had won the primary I would definitely be voting for him in November.

But let's take a look at what we "DO know:

- The DNC allowed a Non-Democrat to run in their Primaries (Was that a typo I saw last night in the graphic while Bernie was speaking, or did they have (I) Vermont next to his name?)

- The DNC shared decades of electoral research and voter data-mining with a Non-Democrat

- The DNC put a Non-Democrat on the debate stage

- The DNC gave Bernie tremendous input into the drafting of the Party Platform

- The DNC gave a coveted Prime-Time Speaking slot to a Non-Democrat and will put his name in nomination for a Roll-Call vote.

So all of that is supposed to be dismissed because some dumbass DNC Staffers said bad things about Bernie in email...and again...as far as anyone can see...TOOK NO ACTION TO HARM Bernie.

The way the medias has gone after this BS story, you'd have thought there was an email stating "Osama Bin Laden determined to fly planes into buildings" a month before the WTC Tragedy....ohhhh....nevermind
