And now there's evidence to suggest the leaked documents have Russian cyber fingerprints. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/25/us...86BA13&gwt=pay "metadata from the released emails suggests that the documents passed through Russian computers"
Yay.

It still doesn't change what occurred by members of the DNC. If Trump had a friendship with Santa Clause and no one believed him, it STILL wouldn't change what occurred.

Stop deflecting.

The rationalization by the dems is beyond humorous, isn't it?

Nothing really to "delete" as the source is now "dispersed" all over the place.

Regardless if the term used is about trump or the easter bunny, it's still a derogatory way to define the democrats outreach to latinos. Imagine, just imagine, if trump/the rep's called their outreach to latino's as "taco bowl engagement" because it was a cute name after trump eating his taco bowl salad. The dem's would be all over this...what a racist they'd yell! Headlines would exist for the next 3 1/3 months on the topic how racist/wrong it is so don't tell me it's "eh, no biggie". Dems/hil lovers love playing "it's ok for us, but not you" and this time you got caught in your party's hypocrisy. Own it as it's simply not nice to refer to reaching latino's as "taco bowl engagement".

I've yet to see mention in this thread of anything that "occurred by members of the DNC" other than they considered capitalizing upon Trump's taco bowl tweet debacle.

As far as deflection goes, the **source** of the leak of the document linked by the OP is very much relevant. The information was stolen/hacked from a non-government private organization and there's evidence/reason to suggest a foreign country was involved in an attempt to influence a US election.

Further, as a poster above noted, when Wikileaks realized the "taco bowl" info pointed to Trump, they deleted tweets about that particular reference. But not before a number of people had captured the tweets.

IOW, the leaked "taco bowl" document is important not because it reveals anything about the DNC but because it inadvertently confirmed growing suspicions about who released it and why.

In another email the Hispanic community is deemed to be a "Target Consumer". As in they will buy anything you will sell them.

Hacked Emails Show The DNC Consider Hispanics as Nothing More than a “Target Consumer” – TruthFeed

Wow.

Biscuit, I'm not saying I agree with him, but we know that Donald is often unfiltered. However, that still does not change the fact that the DNC and members of the media were acting unscrupulously when it came to Bernie Sanders which has had a detrimental effect on the democratic process. The reasoning for the leak along with the identity of the hacker and whether or not he/she is friends with Donald Trump or Donald Duck has no bearing on those facts.

We know the identity.
We know he has massive links with Russia.
How does that NOT have a bearing?

Why aren't you spending this much energy trying to understand why the DNC would be so unethical? No one forced them to.

Forced them to do what? Point out how pitiful Trump's tweet was? What's unethical about that?

Nice fantasy premise for a thread. It's obvious they were referring to the Trump Taco Bowl tweet, but your spin-doctoring won't let it die.
