EXCLUSIVE: Democratic National Committeewoman says her party is 'clearing a path' for Hillary

[leftcoastmountains]

because 'the women in charge' want it that way

-snip-
The Democratic National Committee is 'clearing a path' for Hillary Clinton to be its presidential nominee because its upper power echelons are populated with women, according to a female committee member who was in Las Vegas for Tuesday's primary debate.

Speaking on the condition that she isn't identified, she told Daily Mail Online that the party is in the tank for Clinton, and the women who run the organization decided it 'early on.'

The committeewoman is supporting one of Hillary's rivals for the Democratic nomination, and said she spoke freely because she believes the former Secretary of State is benefiting from unfair favoritism inside the party.

Clinton aims to be the first female to occupy the Oval Office, and 'the party's female leaders really want to make a woman the next president,' the committeewoman said, rattling off a list of the women who she said are the 'real power' in the organization.

1. Shocked, I'm shocked I tell you!

[leftcoastmountains]

7. Great find!

[roguevalley]

16. I am an older woman and I have to tell you I could kick everyone

of these women in the balls. There is nothing different in their fucking attitude than men doing the SAME THING! FUCK THEM FOR THEIR UNDEMOCRATIC BULLSHIT!

[Baitball Blogger]

17. That was one of the greatest reasons why I began to question a broadbrush support for

the feminine movement. Especially when I came across a group of local good ole gals who were just as bad, if not worse than the good ole boys. Because of those experiences, I support specific feminine causes, and selectively applaud feminine leadership. Absolutely not interested in women who play the same dirty pool games.

2. We'll see where this goes

If it goes.

[Faux pas]

3. If you can't

beat 'em cheat 'em.

[djean111]

4. More and more - sorry, but they can do that without my vote.

Enough is enough.
This DNC is shameful.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

8. Beyond shameful...but not surprising either.

Bernie & Elizabeth 2016!!!

[HooptieWagon]

13. It's disgusting.

This is the same shit DWS has been pulling in Florida, where the State Party is a dysfunctional mess. In my Congressional District in 2014, a registered Dem candidate was forced to withdraw to clear the path for DWS's latest 'pet', who filed last minute. The candidate forced to withdraw cited concern for the safety of his family, due to the threats he received. DWS's candidate, recently switched from R to D (natch), shortly after filing deadline withdrew when it was found out he'd blatently lied on his resume. So there was no Democratic candidate on the ballot in a winnable district.

5. The party's female leaders have tunnel vision.

The fact that they're hot for Hillary to be president is blatantly obvious.

[jfern]

21. Not all of them are blindly backing Hillary

The commiteewoman in the article doesn't and neither does DNC vice chair Tulsi Gabbard.

[hedda_foil]

22. True.

[HooptieWagon]

6. Well, duh.

It's been pretty obvious DWS and minions have been trying to rig the nomination. Us prole voters don't matter, it's what THEY want. I don't think a first woman president carries any status when democracy has to be suspended to achieve it. And it's a slap in the face to the first woman president who does achieve it on merit. Obama achieved a first on merit, without rigging the process in his favor. Hillary should have done the same.

[merrily]

9. Duh. That's been obvious since 2012, but confirmation always helps. Go, Bernie!

[dreamnightwind]

10. If they cared about us they would have convinced Warren to run

A bunch of corporatists using identity politics to sell their New Dem wares to the people. Obama, black pesident. Hillary, woman president. Castro is lined up next, latino president.

Some fall for it and call it progress, I call it the same old bull with a new face.

[winter is coming]

11. On one hand, it wouldn't surprise me.

On the other hand, it's the Daily Mail.

On the third hand (I'm an alien), I keep thinking of Princess Leia saying, "The more you tighten your grasp, the more star systems will slip through your fingers."

"Clearing a path" for Hillary is likely to backfire.

[nxylas]

12. The Daily Mail is not a reliable source

I don't doubt that the party establishment is in the tank for Clinton, but I'd like to hear it from a source other than the only British newspaper that was allowed to be sold in Mussolini's Italy. And the whole "run by women" thing has a distinct whiff of MRA about it.

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

25. Neither is the National Enquirer, but they broke the Edwards' scandal.

Sometimes the truth pops up in the strangest places.

[nxylas]

29. And when it does, other sources will pick it up

I see no reason to believe anything that either the Daily Heil or the National Enquirer says unless it's corroborated elsewhere just because the latter once managed to sandwich a genuine news story in between "Elvis found on Moon" and "Bible prophecy proves that world will end next Thursday, around lunchtime".

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

31. AS I recall, it took the 'other sources' a couple of weeks to pick up on Edwards.

For about that long, people were still 'pooh pooh'ing it.

[nxylas]

33. And with good reason

Again, getting one story right doesn't suddenly turn the National Enquirer into a reliable source.

[olddots]

14. they're ready for Maggy

sorry I meant Hillary .

[pa28]

15. This election should be considered a referendum on the direction of the party.

Hillary is the perfect figurehead for a corporate funded party and it's not surprising the top dogs would want to maintain the status quo and (more importantly) their future seven figure private sector jobs in play.

Bernie should start talking about this issue in his stump speech and start framing this primary as a referendum on the future of the Democratic party.

[in_cog_ni_to]

18. They just sealed their fate. I REFUSE to vote for unethical, cheating, sleazy, rotten politicians.

I'm done. If Bernie has the election stolen by CORRUPT DWS and her CORRUPT committee, she can have Jeb Bush in the WH. They deserve what they get.

Most of the 83 Million Millennials will never for for a corrupt, rotten, thieving politician either. Democrats are not going to win without millennials and Bernie supporters. That's just a fact. They have a choice to have a fair election or steal it. They choose to play dirty? So will I and everyone I know that supports Bernie.

Yeah, 8 years of Jeb will be fun, won't it?

[YabaDabaNoDinoNo]

24. It is unfortunate that so few Democrats have courage of conviction and are unwilling to withhold

their vote for the DWS back candidates if we did we would have a better quality of Democrat these days.

But why Jeb why not the Donald, he would be more fun as POTUS and everyday President Trump would be good for saying or doing something stupid.

Personally I don't care who is POTUS if Bernie does not win because it won't matter the end result will be identical.

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

27. They're fine with that too.

If they can't get Hillary, the Republican is the next best choice with them.

Having Hillary or a Republican in the White House maintains the status quo. Bernie gets in, he tilts over the apple cart, and gives them a big headache, at least while he's in office. But 4 years probably amounts to a few trillions of dollars of 'damage' to the oligarchs.

[woodsprite]

30. It's all well and good to SAY that "they deserve what they get", but

WE'RE the ones that have to live with it, and I'm not willing to let that happen if I can help it. The politicians could care less, matter of fact, they'd probably make out better financially if Jeb or Trump won because most ARE part of the top percent.

I feel that if we just let that happen, than we're being totally irresponsible, and truthfully just as narrow-minded and useless as we feel Cruz, Carson, Trump, Jeb, etc. are.

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

32. I'd say they'll make out just fine under Hillary or Jeb. Or even Donald, really.

We've seen this show before. The rich get richer under any corporate candidate, no matter which side of the aisle.

[in_cog_ni_to]

19. Another thought...stealing the election for Hillary VOIDS BERNIE'S PROMISE NOT TO RUN AS AN

INDEPENDENT.

See how much DWS and her Corrupt little committee likes THAT!

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

28. I don't think he'd do it. nt

[jfern]

20. Not at all surprising, but maybe this will help more people realize what's going on

It's clear that Bernie must fight the DNC and the media as well as the Hillary campaign.

[Live and Learn]

23. I want the best candidate that will support women and Hillary just isn't it.

I don't want my kids sent to die in a war so a candidate can prove she is tough.

I want someone that will support my kids right to marry whomever they want, get a good job at decent wages, not be imprisoned for youthful indiscretions, retire at an age and with a pension that will allow them some time to enjoy retirement and most of all to survive in an environmentally friendly atmosphere.

I want Bernie!

[Blus4u]

26. This is a true.....

"No shit, Sherlock!" moment.



Peace

34. Hideous. These people aren't democratic; they're oligarchic.

They do not respect the right of their fellow Americans to freely choose the person we want to lead our country. They want to force their choice onto the rest of us -- as if we don't count.

This is so ugly, so disrespectful of the people of this country and the value and significance of the system of governance (democracy!) that our founders intended.

They are profoundly arrogant and crooked.

Please, fellow Democrats, rise up against this corrupt little group!

(I am so glad to see this news item here. The Front Page thread was locked! I have to leave now but want to thank leftcoastmountains for putting it here.)

35. DWS Needs to Go

No matter what else happens. Show her the door.
