Hopefully, but stupid people do dumb things. R. Daneel Olivaw Jul 2016 #27

The DNC wasn't lying about its role. A few DNC staffers sent dumb emails DanTex Jul 2016 #31

There's always more to boycott, and I still wonder what other "dumb things" are to come? R. Daneel Olivaw Jul 2016 #33

So you think that hacking into a DNC server is going to bring more sanctions than DanTex Jul 2016 #38

Potentially, yes. If it became clear that it IS Russia behind this then R. Daneel Olivaw Jul 2016 #43

Without reading 20K of them how would we know? Other than the one Brad Marshall wrote, pnwmom Jul 2016 #67

You equate Russia hacking our emails with transparency? leftofcool Jul 2016 #17

Good people are appalled that our own party was undermining the democratic process Android3.14 Jul 2016 #51

Except that the party wasn't undermining the democratic process. DanTex Jul 2016 #58

Oh suuure. They're apologizing because it was all fair and square Android3.14 Jul 2016 #70

They're apologizing because of one offensive email out of 20,000. DanTex Jul 2016 #71

What does it feel like to engage in situational ethics? Android3.14 Jul 2016 #72

I wouldn't know. Hillary is the nominee, get over it. DanTex Jul 2016 #73

Gonna be a Pyrrhic victory Android3.14 Jul 2016 #74

I'm sure you'd like that. But it's not gonna happen. DanTex Jul 2016 #75

Wrong there, Bubby Android3.14 Jul 2016 #76

Cheating, LOL. Bernie lost, fair and square, by a mile. Get over it. DanTex Jul 2016 #77

Like I said, I'm not arguing over the primary. Clinton's our candidate Android3.14 Jul 2016 #78

I challenge you to quote where I accused her of cheating Android3.14 Jul 2016 #80

It's all tribal politics. cyberpunk Jul 2016 #61

Other than Brad Marshall's offensive email, which are you referring to? n/t pnwmom Jul 2016 #68

other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play? Warren DeMontague Jul 2016 #82

But DSW didn't write it, and for all we know she DID respond to it, since there was no repetition.nt pnwmom Jul 2016 #83

My biggest problem with DWS is that she allied herself with Sheldon Adelson in 2014 to Warren DeMontague Jul 2016 #84

The emails are not suprising because of all the crap hurled during the cycle with such Bluenorthwest Jul 2016 #41

That's true, with Bernie's campaign constantly slandering the DNC, I'm not surprised DanTex Jul 2016 #42

Yeah, that sort of characterization is exactly what I'm talking about Dan. You can't Bluenorthwest Jul 2016 #44

You forgot to actually list the "facts" you claim you listed. DanTex Jul 2016 #45

It was not a surrogate and he said 'corporate whores' not 'Hillary is a whore'. This is about Bluenorthwest Jul 2016 #46

Of course not. Just a random guy Bernie chose to speak at one of his events. DanTex Jul 2016 #56

I'm giving exacting quotes while you editorialize to avoid the facts, it's script writing and Bluenorthwest Jul 2016 #60

It's crazy that you are trying to make excuses for a Bernie surrogate calling Hillary a whore. DanTex Jul 2016 #62
