2. Yep. You know, we're trying to defeat the Monsters/republicans and seems like Little Debbie and ...

...a few others are trying to sink our chances of winning back some of the American populace. It's rather akin to some sort of high School trickery or Valley-Girl tripe.

I partially blame all our candidates for putting up with this crap.
"You want to have us on stage during the $%#^% Weekends?...when the hell did you pull THAT out of your ass, Debbie?"

3. That's OK, we've just demonstrated that you can't trust our party with your data.

I'm sure that will have no effect on people handing over credit card numbers in response to fundraising emails.

They want my opinion? And even send me postage paid envelopes?

They got 3 that say "Fire Debbie Weaselman-Schlitz"!

6. Agree, DWS has no business being head of DNC.

The vendor and DWS smell of Clinton conflict.

The opportunity for this ugly situation should never had occurred.

Reeks of dirty tricks.

Hillary Clinton puts personal ambition over the Democratic Party and the USA.

PS Glad to see you back at DU. At some point you became very good at stating the obvious.

DWS has done a lot of damage to the Democratic party brand this election cycle. Instead of bringing dems together, she is breaking them apart.

11. Lots of people believe we never landed on the moon

Lots of people believe that Obama was born in Kenya or is a Muslim.

Just because somebody believes something that they want to believe is true, doesn't make it true, nor does it make some big bad conspiracy out to frame the Sanders campaign.

This would have blown over very quickly if they had just said "yeah we fucked up, we fired the people who did it and here's how we're fixing it." But no, instead it's somebody else's fault and some big conspiracy between Clinton, the DNC and the vendor. And even if it was, that still doesn't mean the Sanders campaign should have been poking around once they realized it.

I imagine the other three will be given pink slips over the weekend. You might want to hope he starts to quiet down considering his story is changing.

There will always be a mild stench around the DNC. Impossible not to when your job is herding cats.
