Wasserman, the now fired chairman of the DNC, friend and confidant of Hillary Clinton, skewed the playing field for Hillary Clinton's candidacy.
Having been found out and not missing a beat, she skips effortlessly into the job that Hillary Clinton has offered in her campaign.
Only the very gullible would seriously believe that national politics are not played out in a very, very dirty arena.
Henrik Ibsen puts it best, “You should never wear your best trousers when you go out to fight for freedom and truth.”
No one expects honesty in politics, it’s understood. However there is one caveat, and it pertains to the candidates who run for the Office of the President of the United States of America:
You have to APPEAR to be honest.
Any chink in that armour invites political cataclysm, and this is the predicament that presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton now finds herself in.
Hillary Clinton has proved time and again that she is no fool. If you had an inclination to build a bureaucratic machine capable of catapulting you into political triumph, you could do worse than to have Hillary Clinton on your side.
Unfortunately for Hillary Clinton, this is exactly what the presidential hopeful has tailored for her own coronation. After her 2008 defeat, she spent patient years, tinkering with the DNC machinery, getting the right people in the vital places, getting those who didn't fit, dismissed.
To not put too fine a point on it, it has now been demonstrated to one and all that the DNC has become her creature. Furthermore, it stretches credulity to imagine that Chairperson Wasserman pulled this off a vacuum.
Nobbling a fair fight is all fine and well, providing — and this is the important part — providing you don’t let the cat out of the bag; providing that no one can obtain hard data that your compatriots at the Democratic National Party are tipping the scales in your favor, that no proof exists contradicting the ideal that this is an honest contest in which the DNP must appear to be scrupulously neutral arbitrators.
This has all come undone. It is not only Bernie Sanders supporters that are enraged; the regular Hillary Democrats who were blissfully uninformed of these goings on, supporters who faithfully and vociferously defended Hillary Clinton from these outrageous accusations of impropriety, suddenly discover that they have been hosed:
“It’s not just young people who are furious. There are people who have been Democrats for decades and are completely angry,” said Kimberly Cooper, 59, of Florida. “Now with the WikiLeaks thing, I am finished supporting her.” (ref.)
So we enter the Demographic Convention as this inevitable dirty snowball rolls down the mountain gathering momentum and size:
Did Hillary Clinton know? If so, for how long, and why didn't she come forward to stop it?
