The CEO of the Democratic National Committee and two other high-level staffers left the organization on Tuesday in the wake of the committee's hacked email controversy.

Amy Dacey is the highest-ranking official at the DNC to step aside due to the matter, a senior Democratic official said. The DNC also announced the departure of CFO Brad Marshall and and Communications Director Luis Miranda in a press release Tuesday afternoon.

Dacey is well-respected by Hillary Clinton's campaign and the DNC circle, a source familiar with the resignation said. But the committee is looking to clean house in the wake of leaked emails that appeared to show the committee favoring Clinton over Bernie Sanders during the primary.

CNN then says the DNC wants to "get ahead of the disclosure of more emails and internal documents from hacked computer systems, fearful of more embarrassing revelations."

So they think there's more to come, which obviously means they have more shit to hide.

Like I said before - can we say RIGGED CANDIDATE

How about next time the DNC just picks someone and is done with it. Forget the primary, because it's obvious they will do everything in their power to sabotage any competition.

Why would these leaks have any effect? They don't even pretend to hide the corruption. There was one video clip where whats-her-face explicitly stated that superdelegates are to prevent people like Bernie from winning.

I wouldn't have a problem with the DNC and RNC simply picking candidates instead of having member votes. It works that way elsewhere and it's no big deal; if you don't like those candidates, go with those of another party's.

she's got a tell.

every time she talks, she lies.

 

[chucky2]

Plenty of time until Nov, just making this old news sooner rather than later. I wonder what they had to promise Bernie, and what kind of blood blackmail writing he had to get it in to be trustable (unless he's insane enough to actually trust Billary), for him to commit to not running Ind and also backing Billary?

I think Bernie could actually run as an Ind at this point and get enough votes from the Dem and Rep camps to win it. Come on Bernie!

 

[MongGrel]

Probably has more to do with Wasserman Schultz bowing out last week.

I imagine your a bit freaking out atm OP, apparently.

Who is we anyway, I hate when people say that. Have a mouse in your pocket ? You're the Queen of England ?



There are already enough things mentioned about Trumps current campaign manager, won't bother going there.

Which has no relationship to what actually happened. The supers just pushed the pledged delegate leader over the top. Like always.

But feel free to intimate cheating where there was none.

I'll bet that RNC emails over Trump would make this look like campfire girls singing Kumbaya...

That is exactly what super delegates were created for. It isn't corruption, it is design. The democratic party is a private organization that can select it's candidate any way it damn well pleases. Many people including yourself dont seem to understand this. The system was created in the wake of George McGovern's historic defeat to help prevent extremist candidates that have very little shot of winning a general election from winning the party nomination. Bernie fits the bill.

Working as intended.

George McGovern ran in 1972. The current system was instituted 12 years later in 1984. It didn't play that way with Bernie because he wasn't the leader & we have no idea what might have happened if he was. The Superdelegate system would play heavily into a relatively close 3 way race where a majority opinion from voters would be unclear. It also tends to avoid drawn out battles like the 1924 DNC. If anything, the system was established over Jimmy Carter who was also an outsider.

Criticisms of the superdelegate system are basically conservative concern trolling, particularly at this point.

Don't worry they'll get positions in Hillary's campaign just like

Gawd. Bernie said from the beginning that he was running as a Democrat so as not to split the progressive vote. He also said that both he & Hillary are 100x better than any Republican. You could add a zero or few to express how he feels about Trump.

But, do troll on...

He switched from cheerleading to concern trolling.

Well, it's also that Trump's soft little monkey paws really seem to turn him on....

Are you just going to ignore how Trump's "lead" has been "vaporized" by Hillary?

trump is still gonna lose.

I really wish, at this point, there was a way for both of them to lose. I'm voting for the libertarian.

No shit. We're doomed with either of these two.

The DNC and RNC don't want that. By using a public election system they discourage candidates from running on a non-party ticket by offering the illusion (jokes on the RNC) of winning the official nomination. It also helps keep people from voting for third party candidates because they feel their preferred party nominee was fairly elected.

If the parties had simply chosen Hillary & Jeb this general election might have ended up with 3 or 4 independents.

You and me both. I have a lot of policy differences with Johnson, but he's someone I can trust and respect, unlike Trump or Clinton. I'm done voting for the Giant Douchebag or the Turd Sandwich.

So the system is designed to favor candidates who will pander to the republicans? That's re-assuring.

Michael Moore pointed this out in his show The Awful Truth. Both candidates are exactly the same. They both represent the top 0.0000001% of Americans, and Hillary can't even get that one straight since she takes a lot of "donations" from foreigns governments. When someone comes along who actually represents the American people, he's pushed to the side because he doesn't represent the ultra rich.

The system is designed to put forth the candidate with the broadest appeal among the general electorate, not just among Democrats. Also a candidate who holds to Democratic values & programs.

The Trump candidacy is what happens when the Party can't do that, when they lose control of the base & the process. It's what happens when you keep sticking your dick in the crazy & get complacent about it.

The rest is just the result of a bad attitude on your part. We live in the greatest society & the greatest democratic Republic in the history of the human race. It wouldn't be that way w/o our political system. If we want it to be better, we won't make it that way talking shit about it.

Hey Speedy! How is the 'vaporizing' going?

Actually just fine. Clinton still hasn't made up her 7 point deficit for July. Guess her convention bounce wasn't as big as we thought.

[SP33Demon]

Are you just going to ignore how Trump's "lead" has been "vaporized" by Hillary?

Uh no, still hasn't made up the 7 points. Try again with your homeslice, eskimo. You guys are celebrating a candidate who led for one day in July. One! lol.
