Donna Brazile didn't see it that way. dogman Nov 2017 #53

She was head of the DNC. dogman Nov 2017 #62

They all are. dogman Nov 2017 #69

Bernie and DNC had similar agreement, which Brazile did not report in her book excerpt emulatorloo Nov 2017 #77

I was no diehard, kind of preferred Bernie, but as an independent Drahthaardogs Nov 2017 #120

unless bernie's actively bitching bdtrppr6 Nov 2017 #130

Bernie is not. The article said he was rather stoic about it. Drahthaardogs Nov 2017 #131

That is still open for debate, TexasTowelie Nov 2017 #32

Fair comment, but I don't think Warren's past should be held against her. InAbLuEsTaTe Nov 2017 #46

Why not? I recall that numerous Democrats tried to make an issue of Hillary being a Goldwater girl TexasTowelie Nov 2017 #80

I am disappointed that Warren would offer validation to this absurd narrative. (eom) StevieM Nov 2017 #98

I just love the so called progressives comradebillyboy Nov 2017 #4

This is ridiculous. LisaM Nov 2017 #6

I'm glad my Senator answered the question as she saw fit. Cobalt Violet Nov 2017 #10

I like Elizabeth Warren, but I cannot understand how she can think the primary was rigged. LisaM Nov 2017 #16

I'm sure it won't the last time she's asked. Cobalt Violet Nov 2017 #20

Whether you agree or disagree with Elizabeth, you have to admire her honesty... InAbLuEsTaTe Nov 2017 #54

yeah I really hope we can avoid a focus group tested candidate. Cobalt Violet Nov 2017 #76

You can blaze your own trail to a dead end or quicksand, as well. I don't think she is as LuvLoogie Nov 2017 #110

Brazille, Warren, others are trying to keep Hillary from running again. n/m RhodeIslandOne Nov 2017 #21

Yes, Hillary clearly said she will not run again. riversedge Nov 2017 #74

Elizabeth Warren has a long way to go, and she is not going to get there by alienating LuvLoogie Nov 2017 #109

Franken....... SergeStorms Nov 2017 #132

Donna is the one who's contract was terminated with CNN for giving HRC the questions underthematrix Nov 2017 #8

No, they said that Donna Brazile leaked one question to the campaign LisaM Nov 2017 #18

In the article I read, Donna BRazile did this three times and lied about it over and over again on underthematrix Nov 2017 #22

She has admitted doing this. CentralMass Nov 2017 #106

Rigging doesn't have to be criminal. thesquanderer Nov 2017 #75

So you are saying Hillary cheated? sheshe2 Nov 2017 #90

Donna Brazile's point is that it was not an even playing field. thesquanderer Nov 2017 #105

Yet if you put your thumb on the scale to change the weight and balance... sheshe2 Nov 2017 #108

Do you like uneven playing field better? thesquanderer Nov 2017 #113

The rigging in question was discussed here... thesquanderer Nov 2017 #79

I doubt they were any more rigged than the general election. David__77 Nov 2017 #100

She didn't sugar coat it. She didn't run it by a focus group. Cobalt Violet Nov 2017 #14

We need Democrats implying false criminality on other Democrats? dbackjon Nov 2017 #26

nobody said anything about criminality. Cobalt Violet Nov 2017 #47

Rigging means Fraud. Implies Criminality. dbackjon Nov 2017 #48

Or it can mean unethical but not criminal like the book says. Cobalt Violet Nov 2017 #51

No dbackjon Nov 2017 #58

yes. better now than Nov 2 2018 or 2020. Cobalt Violet Nov 2017 #50

But that's simply not what Warren said. In fact, in that entire 1:25 video, she never even said... George II Nov 2017 #35

Thank you George. The Hill notoriously likes to stir the pot. emulatorloo Nov 2017 #84

What? melman Nov 2017 #96

That's not the question that the Hill article said Jake Tapper asked her. George II Nov 2017 #111

Yes melman Nov 2017 #119
