10. What is a Saturday debate if Friday is a news dump?
Fri Dec 18, 2015, 12:50 PM
Dec 2015

If it is okay to hold a debate on a Saturday night and pretend that Hillary isn't hiding behind her pal, DWS - than I think it is just fine for a candidate to speak to the American so quickly after opposition forces attempt to swift boat him even if it is a Friday. I am quite sure that his management of this nonsense will draw a striking contrast between these candidates.

This is dirty politics by the DNC and by DWS and the whole thing disgusts me. This is turning into a very ugly election season.

Bernie or Bust.

I understand the desperate need of some to try to conflate the two. Endorsements matter. Something Clinton supporters have been trying to tell Sanders supporters for a while now. lol.

That is why I am voting for Bernie Sanders. He is honest, trustworthy and demonstrates decisive leadership skills. This issue, to me, demonstrates the corruption of the DNC and DWS - at least. The fact that DWS=DNC=HRC - that is the real scandal.

Bernie's IT people reported a problem months ago. So if the buck stops here, DWS resigns!

the cookie jar should you do it?? The data director knew not to snoop around but he did. Curiosity got to him. He has no self control and put his fingers in the cookie jar.

Wow pre investigation you gave Josh Uretsky a fair trial before the hanging. I thought only Bernie fans did that.

She should go work for the Clinton campaign in an official capacity instead of the underhanded way she's pretending to serve all Democrats.

Remember: this is the woman who left gerrymandered Republican districts intact while serving on a commission supposed to prevent gerrymandering. But that would have been harmful to her friend Ross-Lehtinen.

more egregious, showing their accessing and downloading the data was not an 'accidental' find but, rather, a deliberate action on their part. Completely unethical actions at the very least, imo.

It is what you want to believe because you have an agenda.
The Sanders campaign have been the only people upfront and honest about the issues with the vendor.
I think you should be asking the national chair for Hillary for president/DNC chair/person that makes all the rules why they didn't act on that information for months.
