In reply to the discussion: How the DNC Just Sabotaged Bernie Sanders’ Campaign in One Devastating Move [View all]U of M Dem
(154 posts)81. It appears that you are calling Senator Sanders the Adolescent and not myself
for that I am relieved as I now cannot take your related comments seriously.
I now understand that you think a Senator who has worked nearly his whole life in politics and social activism is adolescent-like in his behavior. I patently disagree obviously, but you probably knew that would be the case before you hit Post my reply!
Ahh, this must be the "as long as I fess up, then it's not a crime!" mentality.
Now that we understand this, it is easy to see how this particular issue involving many variables can be summed up in such a simplistic manner. Again, your assertion is baseless and thus trivial.
Of course, your interpretation of Sanders going to the DNC conveniently steers clear of the more complicated variables in the mix.
(From an earlier post of mine relevant to this post)
Did Bernie hack HRC data? No.
Did Bernie carry on as if this access was OK? No.
Did Bernie report the data leak? Yes.
Did Bernie fire the staff who was involved? Yes.
Did Bernie fall into DWS's trap of indefinitely keeping him from a vital campaign resource? If this was premeditated (and it sure looks like it as this is a convenient way to hamstring a campaign), then yes it was a trap. If not, then she should have no trouble being a reasonable human being and reinstate Bernie's access after reporting the flaw.

If you are seriously lock stepping behind the DNC in holding Bernie personally responsible for a DNC IT error, then just admit this and move on. Bernie, in my opinion handled this error professionally by quickly stepping forward to get ahead of this before it "became a thing." It is very suspicious at best, criminal at worst, that it "became a thing," anyway. It is even more suspicious that it this happened in such a hurried fashion from on high by DWS.
I dare you to respond with something substantive. Anything substantive.

Bernie just got more publicity in one night than he has for his whole campaign.

If this gets out of hand it hurts Hillary as well - Can she keep the country's data secure?

Or for Sanders. Will he demand integrity he is running on from himself and staff, or blame others.
