Paying the price for machining Bernie out....
On Thursday, Democratic Party officials held their first staff meeting since Hillary Clinton’s stunning loss to Donald Trump in the presidential race. It didn’t go well.
Donna Brazile, the interim leader of the Democratic National Committee, was giving what one attendee described as “a rip-roaring speech” to about 150 employees, about the need to have hope for wins going forward, when a staffer identified only as Zach stood up with a question.
“Why should we trust you as chair to lead us through this?” he asked, according to two people in the room. “You backed a flawed candidate, and your friend [former DNC chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz] plotted through this to support your own gain and yourself.”
Some DNC staffers started to boo and some told him to sit down. Brazile began to answer, but Zach had more to say.
“You are part of the problem,” he continued, blaming Brazile for clearing the path for Trump’s victory by siding with Clinton early on.
The whole Bernie as a victim suggestion is the most ignorant, factless lie ever promulgated. You or anyone else cannot show this to be true.
Enough.
Bernie lost because he didn't get enough votes. Primarily he was rejected by 2 out of 3 African Americans. That right there ended him.
The DNC didn't help Bernie, but you are correct. He did not have enough of a ground swell of support. Not just from blacks, but from everyone.
