What Do You Think Bernie Sanders Is Thinking Right Now? (voters, campaign)

[LauraC]

I just read yet another leak from the primaries. It says at Hillary's CNN March 13 town hall meeting, the woman (Donna Brazile) that is the CURRENT DNC chair (during the primaries she was appearing on CNN panels - I saw her all of the time on CNN in primetime), told the Clinton campaign in advance, a question she was going to get about the death penalty.

CNN says no way but Brazile flat out says “From time to time I get the questions in advance,” Brazile wrote in an email to Clinton campaign communications director Jennifer Palmieri on March 12. “Here’s one that worries me about HRC.”

The e-mail from Brazile to Palmieri is then apparently forwarded to John Podesta, Clinton's campaign manager, from Palmieri, as it is his emails that are hacked which is how we know about this now. He was on gmail.

So, Roland Martin and Jake Tapper did this Townhall. Clinton did indeed get the question. Here is the transcript of the townhall on the CNN website:

And, here's a copy of the Brazile e-mail to the Clinton campaign:

Now let's think about this.

At the time of the convention, Brazile replaced Wasserman Schultz because DWS was showing favoritism to Clinton during the primaries as shown in the DNC hack.

CNN, who swears up and down that no one gets the townhall questions in advance, gave the questions to Brazile.

Does CNN give them in advance to all of their panelists or did they just give them to Brazile? They could give the questions to all of them in advance and it's just Brazile who went running to the Clinton Campaign with the one she thought would give Clinton trouble. Or, someone gave the questions to Brazile alone? Was it one of the moderators, Tapper or Martin?

Did CNN even know about the cheating or did some low level underling pull a fast one and squirrel the questions to Brazile? And Brazile, what's her punishment for cheating? A promotion to head of the DNC?

Curious to see what CNN does about this. Should we have trusted Anderson Cooper on Sunday?

Should Bernie Sanders and his fans be outraged?

And what about the Clinton Campaign?

Someone needs to ask the current head of the DNC how she got the questions in advance. Who gave them to her?

Who knows... who cares? Don't worry your beautiful mind about it.

Bernie's voters must be devastated. On top of that, Hillary referred to them as basement dwellers living in a fairy tale.

No, she didn't. You might want to read the statement in context:

“They’re children of the Great Recession. And they are living in their parents’ basement,” Clinton says in the audio clip, first published by the Washington Free Beacon earlier this week. “They feel that they got their education and the jobs that are available to them are not at all what they envisioned for themselves. And they don’t see much of a future.

“That is a mindset that is really affecting their politics,” she noted, speaking to donors at a private event in McLean, Virginia. “If you’re feeling like you’re consigned to, you know, being a barista, or you know, some other job that doesn’t pay a lot, and doesn’t have much of a ladder of opportunity attached to it, then the idea that maybe -- just maybe -- you could be part of a political revolution is pretty appealing.”

“We should try to do the best we can not to be a wet blanket on idealism -- you want people to be idealistic, you want them to set big goals -- but to take what we can achieve now and try to present them as bigger goals,”

This is full of crap. Go ahead and read the transcript (or simply do a word search). There is nothing that looks remotely like the question Donna allegedly provided. The topic of "death penalty", sure, but that's it. See for yourself. Give me a break.

As far as I am concerned any information coming from wikileaks should not be believed and should be considered Russian sponsored hacking.

You can live in your little land of denial (aka safe space) as it must be nice and cozy (except for those big bad Russians clouding your brain). Most people would take the fact that the people who wrote and received the emails have not claimed one to be false or doctored as a sign they are legit. Actually, HRC on national television defended something stated in one email. Why would she do that if it was fake?

The orange maniac will never be president.

Here's what Bernie is thinking: "Please God, anyone but Trump!!!"

You do understand that your boy is the most abysmal presidential candidate in the history of this country, yes? Trump is a piece of trash.

If anything, I bet deep down Bernie regrets damaging Hillary with young voters during the primaries. She would be up 15 points right now.

No pride for sure... but leftists probably had none to begin with.
