the big data snoop: who wins, Bernie or Hillary

On the one hand, snooping on this data is something that frankly, has NO excuse....ZERO...NILL. And do not try to say they were nobly exposing a hole; that is the classic hacker bs line when they get caught with their hands in the till. This would not be the first time some supporter of Mr. Sanders has decided they can act like an ass for the cause, as we see in DU way too often.

On then other hand: Why the Hell does Debbie Wasserman Schultz have to get on the air and feed the GOP sound bites? You sure as hell stay off the air a lot Debbie, but this is where you had to act like Sanders was Edward Snowden with an army of cyber ninjas? You were at your best, which is to say your worst, especially as you Gish Galloped over the fact that the actual FACTS of this are still in the air.

The Winners: DWS for her campaign for whatever office she wants, regardless if she wreck this election like the last two. If she wins, she can go right back to working with her GOP friends, and kneecapping anyone to the left of "I used to be a a vocal Republican until my party kicked me out."

The losers: all of us, because we have to see a party that is between one of a proven liar and backstabber and a guy who wants to revive the left, but seems locked in a black and white episode where no blacks, browns or women took the lead.

The winner: Vlad Putin, who knows no matter which of the current offering get elected, he can make short work of all of them, even the one who supposedly has all that "experience" gained during the 90's, because when Russians hear the name "Clinton" they will get a reminder of how we tried to use Yeltsin to rob their country, and that will make even the harshest critics of Putin remember what president "two for the price of one" tried to do. Yes he is a scumbag, do we offer anyone better?
