Election ‘Shenanigans’ Have Defined the Democratic Primaries and Benefit Hillary Clinton

From HuffPo:

It’s Not Just Arizona: Election ‘Shenanigans’ Have Defined the Democratic Primaries - and Benefit Hillary Clinton

The DNC has relied upon its favorite scapegoats (benign incompetence, and of course, Republicans) to explain away the convenient “mishaps” and anomalies that have consistently favored Clinton as she elbows her way to the Democratic coronation ceremony in Philadelphia. Even Nate Silver, widely regarded as the Gandalf of statistical analysis, still can’t figure out how Clinton won in Iowa and Massachusetts

Yes, aside from its bloated prison population and staggering wealth inequality, the United States can now boast of another commonality it shares with banana republics: Only 3 in 10 Americans believe that the nation’s election process is functional — a record low, according to a new Gallup poll.

And who can blame them? When you look at what happened in Iowa, Massachusetts and Arizona, it’s easy to understand why Americans have lost faith in their electoral system.

1. If they didn't benefit Hillary, she would be screaming her head off about it. She's silent. n/t

2. It really says it all.

Just as her failure to release the transcripts say it all.

3. Regardless of who benefits, it's first time a candidate was silent. Another

bad judgment call from Hillary. Every vote should count, whether it's for Hillary or Bernie. I have heard these statements made in the past, in these matters. This is shameful for the United States, as well as shameful of Hillary not to speak out.

4. Funny since she did speak on the topic last year. She was against voter suppression back then.

Against so many things she wasn't then now, and for so many things she was against!

6. She wants to win. Fair or legal or not...

Doesn't matter. The end result will be "the will of the people." Like her entire political life, it's all a sham. An illegitimate sham.

I don't care. Bring it.

5. "Shenanigans" trivializes the fraud & illegal corruption of the voting process

Otherwise I agree with the article.

7. I don't disagree

That's just what HuffPo called them.

8. I know. I mentioned that to HuffPo as well....

I will as well

11. Call it what it is, the Clinton Mafia

a global network of operatives who are paid from the money laundering operation the Clinton Foundation. These are contemptible people.
