So now the media is pushing the line that the DNC rules were changed to favor Hillary??

The rules were in place before we even knew who the candidates would be. How can they get away with this crap?

Ben Jealous, Nina Turner, Cornell West and some other Bernie-bitters have actually done a great disservice to their movement. Not many more are attracted to joining them because of their actions. Bernie may have started a revolution but it has swallowed him up and will eventually fizzle on its own.

Should Hillary lose this battle, we will never hear of them again. I actually now believe the revolution devolved into a movement to defeat Hillary rather than supporting whatever change they SAY they wanted.

So why give them anything more or acknowledge their "pain?" Nina just said NOTHING

Hillary or her supporters do will change their minds about their feelings or their behavior.

I guess they need to be treated like my granddaughter. When she acts up and begins to scream I just tell her to go sit in the chair and scream as loud as she wants to and when she finishes she can join the rest of us or go to bed. It doesn't last long and she has never gone to bed.

But I repeat..he would be a winner!

"The Russians are coming!" And our media doesn't seem to give a damn. Think about it!!

The evidence is much more solid that there is a link between Trump and Russia on the leaked e-mails than there is any evidence that the DNC actually DID anything to hinder Sanders campaign. Memos between DNC staff that PROPOSE some actions to take against Sanders that even their own e-mails said would be wrong do not compare to the links now being exposed between Trump, Trump staff and Putin...not to mention how the GOP would be making a HUGE stink about his wife's dad having been a communist.

That said, think about this: All the lives and treasure fighting the cold war and establishing NATO and other forces to stop the Russian (communist) aggression and we might now elect a person who has both personal and political ties to Russia? How does that honor our military, our sacrifices of life and treasure? Maybe Kruschev was right when he said "We will bury you!"

I have to say, had this been a situation that the Hillary was as close to Putin as Trump obviously is, the media and the GOP would be all over this and you wouldn't hear about anything else. But it seems that our own media is down playing the Russian link in favor or piling on and trashing DWS. They just keep pushing the story that somehow Hillary cheated and did not really win the nomination...14 million votes aside.

Just think if Hillary had totally kicked DWS to the curb we would be hearing how disloyal Hillary is to people who work for her and who helped her and the Democratic Party for so long...in fact long before Bernie Sanders was a Democrat or even well known. It is shameful how HRC has been treated by the media and people who have no appreciation for lifelong service to causes from which they benefit.
