(4,558 posts)How can we possibly expect them to get a fair shake by not playing by the rules??
If a Democrat plays by legal campaign finance, they get branded corporatists, or "bought and paid for".. by fellow Democrats.
If a Democrat has a private, and very secure email server.. one that is actually MORE secure than the Department he/she is working for, and whose predecessors in the same position used very similar practices.. gets torn apart by both the right AND the left for it.
Democratic candidate does all of the ground work to be the party leadership behind him/her totally by the long established rules, and ends up being branded "liberal elite" by their own party.
Kind of hard to expect Democratic party leadership to think about breaking the rules like Republicans do when they aren't even allowed to follow the rules by their base.
