In reply to the discussion: Inside Hillary Clintons Secret Takeover of the DNC (By DONNA BRAZILE November 02, 2017) [View all]Jim Lane
(11,175 posts)One can make some sort of defense of the actions of the Clinton campaign. They were competing for the nomination, they saw an opportunity to get a huge advantage over their rivals, and they took it. The defense isn't a slam-dunk, because they obviously knew the deal was, at best, ethically dubious on the DNC's part, but the Clinton campaign had no obligation of neutrality.
Do you think that the DNC's action was perfectly OK?
You say that "Hillary (and Obama) had control of the Democratic party because they are Democrats". Now that you've gotten in the obligatory snipe at Bernie, bear in mind that there were other candidates. Martin O'Malley was a Democrat (a lifelong Democrat, I might add, unlike some of the other candidates in the race). Do you think it was acceptable for the DNC, which is supposed to be neutral in the race for the nomination, to so greatly favor one Democrat over another?
