Thanks for sharing them with us, OP. Now we can all move along.

Setting the bar a bit low, aren't you?

Deliberate setups against Bernie, creating fake ads, lying about Trump, total collusion with the media... All of this is OK with you?

If this isn't shamefully embarrassing, why did DW Schultz resign? Why did Amy Dacey resign?

I look at it this way: The NBA is ALWAYS accused of rigging games so that certain teams make the Finals for higher ratings. And every year they say it's not true. Now imagine if emails were leaked saying: God, I hate San Antonio, lets not put them on TV but once a year. And Lets make sure Milwaukee plays 10 straight Road games, and the Lakers get 15 straight Home games. Now these emails wouldn't state lets rig the games and make sure the refs know to make this certain team win. But, it would KILL the public's perception of the league and have many people believing the league is rigging games, just by the favoritism the emails have shown. That's exactly how those DNC leaked emails appear.

They both resigned because "there was nothing there".

"normal, behind the scenes campaign strategizing". People resign for that all the time don't they?

Haha, I read about half of them before I started questioning myself what exactly is so bad about these? These emails are very typical behind the scene strategizing conversations.

The acceptance of this kind of strategy is sad, and telling of how sad our politics is.
And stop with the BS, "Both sides do it". Is that what you tell your kids, making it Ok.

There always seemed since 2012 this un written law that within the Democratic party that Hillary had to get the nomination no matter what, and it caused many people who may have actually wanted to run for President (VP Biden) to not run. No matter how small the lie is, the fact that you lie looks bad. And for months the DNC went on TV and said they were neutral and that was not the case. And it looks even worse, when you have a candidate who has a huge trust worthy problem. I really don't see how people who support Clinton or are Democrats can just brush this off, like nothing to see here, lets just keep it moving. AND the fact that more emails will be released (supposedly in October) should be cause for concern.

Well Said Raptor,

Waiting for the next Wiki-leak exposing the Clinton Foundation.

What they have done is worst than Watergate where Nixon was impeached....

Yep. Another grand right wing promise to bring down Clinton and/or the DNC lands with a loud thud, producing absolutely nothing.

I do think it's cute that so many Republicans on this thread believe this is the first time any behind the scenes strategizing has ever, ever taken place in a political campaign! They're all up in arms that a political party was talking about how to win an election! Oh, my goodness! When has that ever happened before. LOL!!!

I can't decide if they are all very young, very stupid, or simply very hypocritical. Anyway way you look at it, their oh so sanctimonious outrage is hilarious.

Do you also think it is funny when liberals start questioning the DNC and stop supporting their nominations? The fact that some Democrats seem to just accept this kind of behavior with the DNC is just sad but also explains how we have fallen so far into such a corrupt political system.
