    Thanks to wikileaks we know that the DNC realized how catastrophic Obama was for their party.

    But they had to support him or they would be "racist".

    They expected to lose in 2016, Hillary was a hail mary and a means for financial backing.

    I feel your pain, bro'.

    I ran out of White Cloud Bathroom Tissue, and I am currently using a stack of $100 bills for "hygenic" purposes.

    Ain't life grand?

    I thank Obama for laying the groundwork for the current robust economy.:flagus:

    Thanks, Obama.:salute:

    This “sting” explains why Obama had the motivation to go to the great lengths to spy on the trump campaign. He didn’t want this feeling, he used all the tools he could to try and stop it

    And then there's the interview with Itchy Jim Clapper where he fingered Obama for orchestrating the spying on the Trump campaign.

    He's completely ass-out...

    AJ, this humorous cartoon satirizes Trump's victory over the media and Obama.

    This sums it up nicely, "ran a 'scripted, soulless campaign'." No doubt Hillary's ran a ho hum campaign vs. Trump's energetic one. Hillary was also lazy, she ceded the campaign trail to Trump. From 1 Sep 2016 through 8 Nov 2016 Trump made 116 campaign visits/stops/appearances/rallies to 71 for Hillary. That 71 looks larger than it actually was as it includes fund raisers in deep blue California and New York.

    To put it mildly, Hillary didn't have that fire in the belly to win. Perhaps she thought the presidency would be handed to her on a silver platter? After all, the Democratic nomination was. The DNC and state Democratic party leaders jury rigged the primaries in Clinton's favor.

    But why place all the blame on Hillary? After all it was Obama along with Hillary and Bill Clinton in a secret meeting prior to the 2012 election that decided Hillary would be the Democrats 2016 nominee. Obama didn't have to agree to that secret deal.

    Obama didn't have to intercede in talking a couple of predominate Democrats not to run against Hillary either.

    Obama didn't build that.

    Average annual GDP growth during his failed presidency was an anemic 1.48%.

    That's fourth worst of all time.

    Thanks for nothing, Obama...:boo:

    It wasn't the primary elections themselves that were rigged, but the support to the candidates given by the DNC that was rigged.

    Per Donna Brazile's book:

    1. [Brazile] eventually discovered that Clinton had entered into a secret agreement with the Hillary Victory Fund, Hillary for America and the cash-strapped DNC that in exchange for raising funds, Clinton “would control the party’s finances, strategy, and all the money raised".
    2. The deal also gave [Hillary] campaign “right of refusal” over who would be the party’s communications director and final say on all other staff.
    3. Quote from Brazile: ”The DNC also was required to consult with the campaign about all other staffing, budgeting, data, analytics, and mailings,” Brazile said. “I had been wondering why it was that I couldn’t write a press release without passing it by Brooklyn. Well, here was the answer,” she said, referring to Clinton’s campaign headquarters in the borough.
    4. Another quote from Brazile: ”I told Bernie I had found Hillary’s Joint Fundraising Agreement. I explained that the cancer was that she had exerted this control of the party long before she became its nominee,” she said about the September 2016 phone call. “Had I known this, I never would have accepted the interim chair position, but here we were with only weeks before the election.”

    https://nypost.com/2017/11/02/ex-dnc-chair-reveals-how-clinton-rigged-dem-primary/

    When one candidate has complete control over their party's funds and strategy, I would say that it was rigged.

    So it wasn’t rigged, but the democrat had an upper hand over the socialist in the Democratic Party? Makes sense.

    Wow. I'm so broken up by this.

    Oddly enough, the left -still- has not learned its lesson about elitism, narcissism, and entitlement.

    Well, I guess if the people in the Democrat party are comfortable with the party pre-selecting their candidate (or at the least, giving one candidate a very significant advantage) prior to the voters of the party having their say, then I guess everything is A-OK. If I was a member of that party, I would be a bit pissed at their corrupt activities.

    Yep, not disputing that. However:

    In at least one debate with Bernie, Hillary was provided the questions before hand. Hillary had control of the money and final decision on what Bernie was given by the DNC for advertising. Hillary had the final say in DNC strategy. It appears that the voters may have only been allowed to hear what the DNC (aka: Hillary) wanted them to hear. I would have been very surprised if Hillary did not get the votes, seeing as how the scales were weighted so much in her favor. Kind of like me challenging you to a golf match, but you can only use a putter.....and then I brag about how badly I beat you.

    Rigged? Did the dnc not allow his name in ballots? Did they change votes? You guys told me elections are only rigged if votes are tampered with.

    https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/rubycramer/superdelegates-2020-convention-deocrats Well it's easy to lose track of the DNC's corruption, cover ups and lies. 2016 HRC has hundreds of super delegates pledged to her before and regardless of balloting. Tom Perez promised to fix that in 2016 in case you forgot that too.

    Hillary still got more individual votes.
    Did the DNC change any votes? Then it wasn’t rigged right?
