I suspect things are going to get even better for Secretary Clinton once the effects of her strong debate performance and datatheftgate are realized in the polls.

(11,417 posts)the BS about Hillary this morning.
In all these polls there is no room for Bernie to get more support. There are less than 20% not in one of the three camps. If Bernie got all of that he still would not be in the lead.

The Bernie Underground is delusional.

(12,504 posts)he was put into a position of having to make a very public apology.......with staff like that, who needs enemies?
workinclasszero
(28,270 posts)Did Bernie sack all the thieves on his staff yet? Or just the one scapegoat?

(8,652 posts)Given the delay, I'm wondering if one might be a relative.
SunSeeker
(51,697 posts)Just made his apology seem forced (which it was, by the moderator) and disingenuous. All he did was feed the unhinged CTs among some of his supporters.
Sheepshank
(12,504 posts)and he was given the opportunity to nip this in the bud days before the debate...talked openly, firing the right people and apologizing and making assurances right then and there, this may have played out much differently.
But now that there is so much info floating around about the importance of the data that was purloined, I think perhpas even an apology would no longer fix this issue.
Again, his employees just sunk any chance he had.

(62,276 posts)I think Weaver has kept Sanders mostly inoculated from faux controversy. The BLM thing, I think, is an example of this. I don't think anyone told Sanders it was blowing the fuck up in social media. I think if Sanders knew the extent to which the hate permeated on that issue he would've nipped it in the bud real quick (but it wouldn't have had an effect on the hatemongers).
If Weaver didn't keep it from Sanders he would have personally fired everyone responsible, he would've called up the DNC and said that it was bullshit and apologized. But instead he was coaxed to say that crap about how anyones data could have been stolen, etc.
Staffers fuck up and do really stupid shit sometimes, it wasn't that big of a deal, until it turned into some sort of convoluted logic thing and Weaver decided to unwisely sue the DNC.
Sheepshank
(12,504 posts)we are not the only ones thinking he is at the bottom of all of this. His blustering and posturing to the media simply comes across and defensive and a cover up.

(24,780 posts)There is nothing left for him to pick up. And minds are pretty much set now.
KittyWampus
(55,894 posts)And it's sad to see it gearing up.

(24,780 posts)Less about Sanders winning than anything.

(700 posts)as soon as the debate was over Bernistas take to the airways to declare their candidate the winner when the opposite has been true for all three debates so far.
Debate #1, #2, #3, the Benghazi hearings - Hillary is looking stronger and stronger and is solidifying her base. We are coming home to roost!
And only Bernie supporters can twist stolen data into a blame on the Hillary campaign and the DNC. And now they're whining about it being on a Saturday night. So much for debating anywhere, anytime, huh? Bernie's staff reminds me of the kid that got caught with his hand in the cookie jar. "Well if you had a lock on the jar I wouldn't be stealing a cookie!"
Pour it on, Hillary!!
