So the crooked Hillary Campaign has kept Bernie off the DC ballot....

Nobody should be surprised, this is how a campaign that loses on the issues wins an election.

Nobody should be surprised that even though her registration was just as late as Sanders, and submitted late by the same party, that Hillary isn't calling for Bernie to be included on the ballot.

What people should be surprised about that this is apparently going to be allowed to happen. Just yesterday, DC officals were saying this would not be a big deal, they could have a vote and chaulk it up to a clerical error. Today it seems like this is a done deal that Bernie will not be included.

This is your Democratic party under the Clintons. Are you proud of it? Does it make you feel like you're supporting something good?

http://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/Bernie-Sanders-Faces-Ballot-Trouble-in-DC-After-Registration-Snafu-374042381.html

The Sanders campaign, as well as Hillary Clinton's campaign, each submitted registration fees of $2,500 on time earlier this month in advance of the June 14 Democratic primary.
But D.C. Democrats did not email the candidates' registration information to the D.C. Board of Elections until a day after the registration deadline of March 16, News4's Tom Sherwood was first to report on Twitter.

A Democratic voter in D.C. filed a challenge against the Sanders campaign's registration. No complaint was filed against Clinton's registration.


What I want to know is why all the irregularities that have occurred this primary season favor Hillary but hurt Bernie?

The DC democratic party is going to fix this. They will be filing a rule change probably on Tuesday for a 24 hour grace period after checks are mailed to the elections office, instead of just a two hour grace period.

They basically have been doing it this way for a long time, but no one has ever used the opportunity to challenge someone before.

Then you hit on the "Clinton's". Why did you include them when you included article downstream that clearly point out it was some DC Voter that raised the objection--for Sanders(not Hillary). Both candidates had their paperwork turned in the next day (a day late). Both Candidates had the required paperwork-criteria.

Yet you hit on Hillary campaign and the "Clinton's" in your OP. That is shameful.

Bernie IS going to be on the ballot and the Clinton's had NOTHING to do with the fuck up. Is that clear enough for you? Sick of this shit and you do your candidate no good whatsoever. Pathetic.

You can't take yes for an answer. Per Washington Post, Bernie will be on the ballot. Of course, Hillary is so powerful, she can do anything and poor Bernie is so helpless he can't even get on a ballot.

Here's the link

Here's the headline
Washington Post: Bernie will be on the ballot.

Try a new attack on Hillary; this one was quite the fail.

The one who submitted both Hillary's and Bernie's information at the same time, a day late, or the member of the DC party who allowed this to currently stand? What are you talking about?

So far there has been no evidence to support this accusation. As I said in another thread, DC has such a small amount of delegates that it would make no sense for anyone to pull a stunt like this.

Assuming he gets back on, how much money will the taxpayers have to forgo for special board elections, drawing up legislation, legal defense, Tex. All because The DC DNC screwed up and some Clinton lackey decided to be a smartass? If the deadline issue was a real issue to him, he would have worked outside of the season to have it corrected. This screams of set up. And no matter of it was real or by association, Clinton looks guilty.

Here are some facts for the Sanders supporters to ignore http://www.cnn.com/2016/03/30/politics/bernie-sanders-dc-ballot/index.html?eref=rss_politics

Clinton's campaign chairman, John Podesta, tweeted Thursday that Sanders should not be held off the ballot.
"An administrative error should not keep a candidate off the ballot. Let's get @BernieSanders on the ballot in DC," Podesta tweeted.

Anita Bonds, chairwoman of the Washington, D.C. Democratic Party, said Wednesday she was confident presidential candidate Bernie Sanders would appear on the primary ballot, despite a challenge filed with the city's Board of Elections.
"Bernie will be on the ballot," Bonds told CNN.


Bonds said, the party's deadline is a few hours after the Board of Elections closes, so her staff typically delivers the filings the next day.

"This has been kind of a tradition in the District of Columbia, that the party would notify the board the following day," Bonds said.

The only thing that changed this time, she said, was someone challenged Sanders.

Bonds, who also serves on the D.C. City Council, said she would submit a "clarification" in the city rules that would allow a 24-hour grace period after the filing deadline, putting Sanders on the ballot.

Based on the conspiracy theories flying around about Hillary's personal hand in this fiasco, it would appear that rain would be Hillarys fault too. Proof be damned. It's more important to promote a victim narrative rather than reality based discussion.

Tue Apr 5, 2016, 12:23 AM

An earthquake in Azerbaijan, and it's Hillary's fault. A clerical error in DC, she's at it again. She's also the one that forced Adam to take a bite of that apple. And you know it was Hillary on the grassy knoll. It's a wonder she has time to sleep what with all her evil doing.

Just one question? Is there anything bad that happens in the universe that isn't Hillary Clinton's fault? If she really is so omnipotent, why would anyone even bother trying to defeat her?




I suppose it's pointless to ask for anything concerning evidence. You saw a post on Twitter. Something bad happened and why bother with any evidence connecting it to Clinton? Everything bad is her fault, starting with the fall itself.

A Hillary supporter challenged Bernie's (and only Bernie) inclusion on the ballot because of the late filing


And here we are. The time has passed to challenge Hillary's status.
