2016 Postmortem

Im sure that many people here received an e-mail from Jeff Weaver, the Sanders Campaign Manager, regarding an event last night in Colorado. But, for those who may have missed it, I would like to share some of its contents.
Last night, Hillary hosted a fund-raiser in a state that has already caucused. The top seats went for $27,000; others paid $2,700 for their seats.
But a crazy thing happened when she got ready to speak. Her campaign actually turned on a static noise machine pointed at the press so they couldnt hear what she was saying to the financial elite in attendance.
Im sure that the Clinton supporters on this forum think that is just dandy. Im not as confident that they would have approved if, say, George W. Bush had done the same thing in 2000 or 2004. But they seem to use an ethical slide-ruler to measure what is okay for a candidate to do.
As a supporter of Bernie Sanders, I find that objectionable. It reinforces the belief that Hillarys message to the elite is not only different from her message to the peasants classes, but has to be kept extra-super-secret.
Peace,
