Careful What You Wish for: Hillarys Allies Rigged the Primaries By Michael Sainato 06/08/16 9:36am For the duration of the Democratic primaries, party leaders have broken or bent the rules in order to benefit Hillary Clintons campaign. The worst culprit: Clintons 2008 campaign co-chair, DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz. But at state and local levels Democratic Party leaders have also tipped the scales for Hillary Clinton. In Puerto Rico, the Sanders campaign recently accused local Democratic Party officials of fraud, after they refused to certify campaign officials to help inmates vote, yet all of Hillary Clintons officials were granted certification and given access to prisons. In California, Los Angeles City Council member, David Ryu, a Hillary Clinton supporter, intervened to force the Bernie Sanders campaign to change venues for a concert at the last minute. ... Former Congressman Barney Frank and Connecticut Gov. Daniel Malloy, two Clinton supporters who have been frequently cited in the mainstream media for attacks on Sanders, serve as co-chairs of two panels at the Democratic National Convention. Sen. Harry Reid intervened before the Nevada caucuses to call in favors from casino owners to give their employees time off to support Clinton at the states caucus. Shortly after the caucuses, Sen. Reid formally endorsed Hillary Clinton and has publicly spoken out against Bernie Sanders on several occasions, especially after the controversial Nevada State Democratic Party Convention. Sen. Barbara Boxer, whose daughter was married to Hillary Clintons brother, defended the former first lady amidst the recent controversy at the Nevada Convention. Since then, Sen. Boxer has been an avid attacker of Bernie Sanders preceding the California primary. Several pro-Clinton superdelegates have attacked Sanders and defended Clintons deplorable record, from the private-email server controversy to her troubling ties to Wall Street. ... After the way the Democratic Party has treated independent voters and Democratic voters who support Bernie Sanders, they dont deserve their support in the general election. http://observer.com/2016/06/careful-what-you-wish-for-hillarys-allies-rigged-the-primaries/#.V1hcwzPR3pk.twitter .
