The Democratic National Committee functioned as
an arm of the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign
throughout the primary. The release by
WikiLeaks of more than 20,000 DNC emails makes that
point abundantly clear. It wasn’t shocking the
Hillary and her friend Debbie Wasserman Schultz were
in cahoots; what was, is the level of opposition
game planning that was engaged in against Bernie
Sanders.
Anyone should be shocked that in this day and age,
Democratic Party staffers actively considered going
after Sanders’ Jewish heritage. One wonders how that
revelation plays in former Connecticut Senator and
Democratic Party candidate for vice president Joe
Lieberman’s household.
The raw antisemitism exhibited in the bowels of the
Democratic Party apparatus demonstrates that hate is
alive and well in the political party that brought
us the Ku Klux Klan and Bull Connor.
And one wonders if vice presidential candidate Tim
Kaine knows how to say "taco bowl" in Spanish
since that appears to be the official DNC
designation for Hispanic outreach. Imagine the
uproar on Univision and Telemundo if the same
disparaging racist language was used inside the RNC.
Oh yeah, we don’t have to imagine as we saw the faux
anger when Donald Trump tweeted a picture of a taco
bowl on Cinco de Mayo.
While it is not a surprise that those whose policies
are devised to keep the economically depressed
dependent upon a big government that they run would
hold their subjects in contempt, the revelation that
the DNC was up to its hips in manipulating
hate-filled anti-Donald Trump rallies was more
important.
Rather than an organic uprising, the violent
anti-Trump rallies were instead the ultimate in
Astro-turf complete with paid protesters, angry
anti-cop Black Lives Matter marchers, anarchists and
Mexican flag waving separatists all acting as part
of a DNC black ops plan.
The failure of these protests to show up at the
Cleveland Republican convention can be directly
attributed to the changed politics of protest in the
wake of various police shootings around the nation.
Suddenly, turning Cleveland into Chicago of ’68 did
not make political sense, and the DNC spigot for the
top down politics of division and grievance got
turned off.
So, the Democrat convention goes on this week and
Hillary hopes that Bernie Sanders’ endorsement of
her candidacy will bring along the grassroots of the
party that rejected her in the primaries. It
won’t.
Unlike the elites in the GOP who reject Donald Trump
but have little grassroots following, Bernie
Sanders’ supporters believe that the primary system
was rigged against them, and the DNC emails confirm
that suspicion. Sanders supporters rejected Clinton
largely because of the ooze of corruption that
envelops everything she touches, and the DNC emails
reinforce that they were cheated.
In November, Hillary will need the enthusiasm and
turnout from Bernie Sanders’ supporters after
crushing their voices through the DNC. The Green
Party’s candidate for president Jill Stein has got
to be the happiest candidate on earth as those
voters naturally flow to her campaign.
They say that in the 21st century, political parties
don’t really matter much anymore, but in 2016, the
Democratic Party may be the reason that Donald Trump
becomes president. With all the media attention
given the internal GOP struggles, this DNC/Clinton
corruption backfire would be the ultimate irony.
