This whole thing stinks big time.
It is not HRC's fault that some in the Bernie Campaign went rogue..
It is not Bernies fault that some in the Hillary Campaign have gone out of their way to tamp down debates..
And all those who are hinting at Bernie to go Independent now.. bull hockey .. you wanted to run in this party.. you fight it out in the party..
Really sucks eggs

(17,796 posts)I know that, so you're saying you'd be cool with similar treatment of your campaign?

(11,495 posts)All the BS going around here makes me sick. If anyone should be complaining it's O'Malley, and he isn't. He hasn't claimed to be the victim of the media that never mentions his name, he has complained about the debates, and I totally agree with him, there should be more.
Like you this whole thing about blaming Clinton because some of Bernie's staff got carried away and did something wrong is ridiculous to say the least. I like Bernie but I think he should have handled this and not let whoever is giving him advice use this kind of "my staff did it, but I am the victim" crap. I really don't think Bernie knew what happened, and I think some on his staff tried to cover it up and lame it on some "low level" staffers who got carried away. If thinks get worse in the investigation, and it comes out that this is a bigger cover up than his staff has said, he will be the one hurt for it.
I think that if it were someone in O'Malleys staff that did this he would have come out right away and condemned it, apologized, and offered to do whatever he could to get to the bottom of it and make sure all the files they took were deleted, and that's what Bernie should have done in my opinion.

(11,495 posts)Bernies guys broke into Hilary's hen house, stole her eggs, and somehow she is the evil one and Bernie and his staff are the "real" victims?

(11,495 posts)Shows me that some here are not trying to help things, but make them worse. Many here have had their own agenda for years, bashing Obama, and the whole democratic party as a whole. Now they are using the Bernie campaign to go after Hillary in the same way in order to divide DU and keep the battle ragging. They don't really want to see any democrat in the HW if you ask me.
Promoting such insane ideas should prove they don't really belong here.

(41,600 posts)IMCPO, after this despicable stunt, his promise not to run third party is now null and void. I think he should take his voters and run a campaign independent of the DNC. The so-called "Democratic" (what an effing joke) party obviously wants TRUE Progressives, Millennials, Independents and many, many Boomers
Out of their corrupt party. I think Bernie should grant their wish.
PEACE
LOVE
BERNIE
