In reply to the discussion: Hillary Clintons Campaign Turns Over Email List To DNC [View all]Gothmog
(147,372 posts)We had Comey and the FBI and russian machine intervene in this election. There are several studies that show that Comey's intervention 9 days before the election gave the election to trump.
In addition, the russian disinformation campaign was amazing and took place here and especially on the JPR board. The number of fake news stories about pizzagate, her health and other lies were amazing. The russian efforts evidently involved micro-targeting Trump voters in Wisconsin, Iowa, Michigan and Penn. The idiots on the JPR board pushed each and every one of these lies or fake news and that board is still pushing Sanders to go third party.
Sanders did not add any new voters to the party during the primary process and essentially Sanders got the same white voters who supported Dean over Kerry or Bradley over Gore. That base was never enough to win. There was extensive review of the primary exit polls on this issue.
You do realize that Sanders was mathematically eliminated after Super Tuesday and so the Clinton campaign and the media never vetted or looked into sanders. Sanders never made a meaningful dint in Clinton's pledged delegate lead following Super Tuesday. Clinton had 4x the pledged delegate lead over Sanders compared to the pledged delegate lead that President Obama had over Clinton in 2008. Without undemocratic caucuses, that lead would have been far greater. I disagree with your assessment of Sanders' strength based on the actual numbers.
Again, Sanders will have to provide his tax returns if he wants to run. There will be several key blue states that will not let anyone on the ballot without tax returns. I doubt that Sanders will ever release his tax returns.
Based on the facts, I am sill concerned that Sanders is not releasing his e-mail list because he is reserving the right to go third party. Sanders is not running as a Democrat for Senate in 2018.
