And, despite all the trade deals that Republicans and New Democrats seem to love so much, damage control for US politicians is one of the few jobs that probably does not get offshored a lot.

That is one of the main reasons that I recommended it to a friend as a career change a few years ago.

We've seen the proof that they're coordinating alerts from offsite so do not take the bait, Bernistas.

Let the threads sink or hide them or better yet, trash GDP.

A person who has a state I'd never want to visit in their name got my blood boiling. I just exited from the post. They never have anything to say about their candidate, only attacks against Bernie.

God help our country if Bernie is not elected. I am already worried we have gone too far to fix it, but at least he will attempt right the ship.

You're not missing anything, just the standard high fiving among the handful of Clinton supporters as per the usual.

Actually, it's par for the course.

1. Start with an insider but inept IT shop.

2. Wait until Bernie's data folk notice that the firewall is down again.

3. Wait to see what happens, then bring the firewall back up.

4. Have the DNC communications staff publicly scream "theft" to the media. Oh, and tell Bernie's senior nontechnical staff about it.

5. Keep it up until it's the only thing that's heard.

6. Sit back and watch the Saturday night before Christmas debate to demolish his credibility.

7. Done. Except for the pseudo regretful tsking by pundits who all agree that Bernie's campaign can never recover because He's nothing but another lying politician.

It just might work, unfortunately. But I've been saying for months that he can win against a Republican, but getting past the DNC-HRC shield wall (Vikings-type, not IT) will take the skill of a Jedi master.
