The Democratic National Committee (DNC) adopted a new rule on Friday aimed at keeping outsider candidates like Bernie Sanders from trying to clinch the Democratic presidential nomination in 2020.
The new rule, adopted by the DNCs Rules and Bylaws Committee, requires all Democratic presidential candidates to be a member of the Democratic Party, Yahoo News reported.
A presidential candidate running for the Democratic nomination must be a member of the party, accept the Democratic nomination and run and serve as a member.

Good.
You want access to the Party's resources? You want to take advantage of all that the Party has to offer?
Be a Democrat. Simple.
I'm totally done with this "Democrats bad! Democrats bad! Oh I want to be President so give me access to your party's resources and support me for President". No, sorry, it doesn't work that way.

Here is a hint for those who dont want to click on the link, the title is The Stupifying Mediocrity of Barack Obama.
This is what we were arguing with when they were here. If you defend them, this is what you are defending. If you identify with them, well, you can figure out the rest.

Well this appearance by Condoleezza Rice didn't age well
Well this appearance by Rice didnt age well. Only a year later, H R. McMaster is now gone. When asked whether he was having trouble with Trump, Rice responded not that I can see. Uh huh, right. Rice paid McMaster all these accolades and Trump fired him in a very humiliating way. As was Rex Tillerson fires by Trump. So just about all the folks Rice mentioned to try to make us feel better about incompetent Trump are now gone.
Rice said all these negative things about North Koreas leader and now Trump is saying we should negotiate with him. Nope, this video and Rices words havent aged well at all.
I wonder how Rice feels about what she said now. How would she spin it away to defend Trump.
