Yesterday Marked The First Time Democrats Showed They Weren’t Scared Of The Clintons Anymore

I thoroughly enjoyed reading the excerpt from Donna Brazile’s new book “Hacked” published by a lefty website detailing how Hillary “put her own interests first before she became her Party’s presidential nominee.”
She had the DNC in her pocket more than a year before the 2016 general election and months before the first Democrat Party primary.  Her nomination was indeed rigged.
Wesley Pruden opined for The Washington Times, “The gritty details of how it happened, which is the point of the book, will seem arcane, impenetrable and ultimately boring, not worth the candle for readers beyond the Capital Beltway, and to a lot of them inside that concrete necklace, but “Hacked” will be picked over by the party regulars and insiders who will never see the dowager queen in the same comfortable way again. The most qualified candidate for president in the history of the universe might be rendered unemployable by what’s behind the dam that’s about to break, but if she wants to be a comfortable college president to coast into her sunset years, she might have to be satisfied to be the president of a New England barber and beauty college.
Pruden continues, “Stanley Greenberg, a strategist in several Clinton campaigns, details in the magazine American Prospect, widely read on the capital’s progressive ramparts, how Hillary’s errors, her mismanagement of the campaign, her inability to listen to anybody, including Bubba, and above all scorning—'sneering at’ is not too strong—the Party’s traditional working-class base. No one with a glimmer of smarts, for example, would have told the coal miners of West Virginia she was going to put them out of business.
The Ice Cube In Heels would do anything to get elected and felt entitled to the Democratic nomination and the presidency.
Losing the election was not about stolen emails and pilfered messages. The election of Donald Trump was about how the voters, including those forgotten Democratic voters in Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania were finally fed up with a party gone to seed. They were looking for someone who understood that America needed to be put back on the rails, and they knew Hillary Clinton was not that someone. 
There are likely more postmortems on the way that will confirm there was never any rationale for Granny’s candidacy and a growing body of evidence Democrats have left the Clintons in the rear-view mirror for good.

Donna Brazile’s Broken Heart (sniff)

At 5:04 AM this morning, Politico Magazine issued a tweet announcing the story they had just published entitled, “Inside Hillary Clinton’s Secret Takeover of the DNC”.
Donna Brazile was made interim Chair of the Democrat National Committee in July 2016 during the height of the Democrat Party’s convention in Cleveland.
Debbie Wasserman Schultz was forced to resign after a trove of highly embarrassing emails were exposed by WikiLeaks wherein she referred to Sen. Bernie Sanders’ campaign manager Jeff Weaver as a “damn liar” and an “ass” and declared the senator had “never been a member of the Democrat Party” and had no understanding of what the Party did.
In typical dramatic fashion, Brazile begins her revelation:
“Before I called Bernie Sanders, I lit a candle in my living room and put on some gospel music. I wanted to center myself for what I knew would be an emotional phone call.  I had promised Bernie when I took the helm of the Democratic National Committee after the convention that I would get to the bottom of whether Hillary Clinton’s team had rigged the nomination process, as a cache of emails stolen by Russian hackers and posted online had suggested. I’d had my suspicions from the moment I walked in the door of the DNC a month or so earlier, based on the leaked emails.”

Brazile “followed the money.”

The Saturday morning after the convention in July, I called Gary Gensler, the chief financial officer of Hillary’s campaign. He wasted no words. He told me the Democratic Party was broke and $2 million in debt.
“What?” I screamed. “I am an officer of the party and they’ve been telling us everything is fine and they were raising money with no problems.”
That wasn’t true, he said. Officials from Hillary’s campaign had taken a look at the DNC’s books. Obama left the party $24 million in debt—$15 million in bank debt and more than $8 million owed to vendors after the 2012 campaign and had been paying that off very slowly. Obama’s campaign was not scheduled to pay it off until 2016. Hillary for America (the campaign) and the Hillary Victory Fund (its joint fundraising vehicle with the DNC) had taken care of 80 percent of the remaining debt in 2016, about $10 million, and had placed the party on an allowance.
If I didn’t know about this, I assumed that none of the other officers knew about it, either. That was just Debbie’s way. In my experience she didn’t come to the officers of the DNC for advice and counsel. She seemed to make decisions on her own and let us know at the last minute what she had decided, as she had done when she told us about the hacking only minutes before the Washington Post broke the news. 
On the phone Gary told me the DNC had needed a $2 million loan, which the campaign had arranged.
“No! That can’t be true!” I said. “The party cannot take out a loan without the unanimous agreement of all of the officers.” 
“Gary, how did they do this without me knowing?” I asked. “I don’t know how Debbie relates to the officers,” Gary said. He described the party as fully under the control of Hillary’s campaign, which seemed to confirm the suspicions of the Bernie camp. The campaign had the DNC on life support, giving it money every month to meet its basic expenses, while the campaign was using the party as a fund-raising clearing house. Under FEC law, an individual can contribute a maximum of $2,700 directly to a presidential campaign. But the limits are much higher for contributions to state parties and a party’s national committee.
Individuals who had maxed out their $2,700 contribution limit to the campaign could write an additional check for $353,400 to the Hillary Victory Fund—that figure represented $10,000 to each of the thirty-two states’ parties who were part of the Victory Fund agreement—$320,000—and $33,400 to the DNC. The money would be deposited in the states first, and transferred to the DNC shortly after that. Money in the battleground states usually stayed in that state, but all the other states funneled that money directly to the DNC, which quickly transferred the money to Brooklyn.
“Wait,” I said. “That victory fund was supposed to be for whoever was the nominee, and the state party races. You’re telling me that Hillary has been controlling it since before she got the nomination?”
Gary said the campaign had to do it or the party would collapse. 
“That was the deal that Robby struck with Debbie,” he explained, referring to campaign manager Robby Mook. “It was to sustain the DNC. We sent the party nearly $20 million from September until the convention, and more to prepare for the election.”
This mind-blowing conspiracy to rig the Democrat primary didn’t make it into Hillary’s book “What Happened” and the revelations in Brazile’s story proves The World’s Most Dangerous Community Organizer ran his Party the same way he ran the country.

Hey Press Poodles, “Happy National Boss Day”

The notorious treasure trove of “Podesta Emails” demonstrates how the press has always been little more than an extension of the Clinton Machine.  Most of the press poodles and lamestream media stenographers see nothing wrong with their complicity.

Trump’s running mate, Gov. Mike Pence, made the rounds on Sunday’s talking head shows proclaiming, "The media is piling on with such unsubstantiated claims, ignoring an avalanche of hard evidence, documented evidence, of deeds by the Secretary of State" contained in the WikiLeaks email dump.

CNN’s Jake Tapper described DNC Chair Donna Brazile’s feeding debate questions to Clinton as “journalistically horrifying.”

Joe Concha, contributor for The Hill, put the media’s coverage of Campaign 2016 in glaring perspective when he compared the air time on network news to accusations against Trump and the WikiLeaks revelations related to Granny Clinton.
“Reaction to Trump's critique of the media by many left-leaning media members and advocates was about what one would expect, referring to it as dangerous and dark and totalitarian and conspiratorial and just about every other word from the 2016 Hyperbole Style Guide. Those conclusions, of course, are just air without any real foundation in terms of numbers or data to support it.” 
[SKIP] 
“In viewing recordings by The Hill of each major network's evening newscasts, which are watched by an average total of 22 million to 24 million people nightly, the newest batch of WikiLeaks revelations was covered for a combined 57 seconds out of 66 minutes of total air time on ABC, NBC and CBS.” 
“Those leaked emails include derogatory comments about Catholics by senior Clinton campaign officials and more disturbing examples of collusion between the media and her campaign.  It’s newsworthy stuff.” 
“On the other hand, allegations from four women of unwanted sexual advances by Trump were covered a combined 23 minutes.” 
“Add it all up, and one presidential candidate's negative news of the day was somehow covered more than 23 times more than another candidate's negative news of the day.” 
[SKIP] 
“When looking at the numbers, Trump may actually have a point.”
Barry Casselman, who has not endorsed either candidate noted, “What we are now witnessing in the 2016 US presidential election is an unprecedented media coup d’état as many of the combined media forces are attempting to determine the next president before the voting takes place.”

With the dereliction of duty by the nation’s largest media organizations and their role as propaganda arms of the Democratic Party, it bodes ill for the future of an already putrid media that no longer serves the best interests of Americans or the world.

This is precisely why the electorate ended up so angry.

Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Queen Of Collusion To Serve As “Honorary” Chair For Unindicted Felon’s Campaign

Debbie Wasserman Schultz announced Sunday she is stepping down as chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee at the end of the party's convention, which is set to begin Monday in The City of Brotherly Love.  Her resignation was precipitated by the release of over 19,000 emails by WikiLeaks exposing the nefarious help Clinton received from the DNC.

No sooner had the news of her resignation hit the wires than we learned the only presidential nominee ever to be the target of a year-long investigation by the FBI hired the butt-ugly, poodle-haired smear merchant to be “honorary” chair of her 50-state campaign.

With DWS sorta kinda out, the Democratic National Committee named CNN Clinton propagandist Donna Brazile to be the interim chair. 

“With news of Donna Brazile stepping in as interim chair for the Democratic National Committee, CNN and Brazile have mutually agreed to temporarily suspend her contract as a contributor for the network effective immediately,” a CNN spokesman says. “As a valued voice and commentator, CNN will revisit the contract once Brazile concludes her role.”

A Learned Fool Is More A Fool Than An Ignorant Fool

I presume the reason there’s not more of a firestorm surrounding this little nugget is because a majority of pundits were focusing on the fractured fairy tales being told during the exclusive interview on “Meet The Press” Sunday with The World’s Most Dangerous Community Organizer.

Donna Brazile, adjunct professor at Georgetown University, political contributor to CNN, ABC and NPR and presidential campaign manager for former Vice President Al Gore, appeared on ABC’s “This Week with George Stephanopoulos”.

As Vice Chair of Voter Registration and Participation at the Democratic National Committee, Brazile is mournfully unqualified to pontificate on foreign policy, but that didn’t stop her from weighing in on TWMDCO’s plans for fighting the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.

It was obvious that neither Stephanopoulos nor Brazile listened to the president state clearly that he does not expect to ask Congress for approval to act and yet…
GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS:  And will he get support, though, from Democrats if he does that, Donna. I see the Democrats are asking for the president to call—to come to Congress, but are they prepared to give him full authorization? 
BRAZILE:   I think some are, but many are not. Look, everybody remembers Iraq. They remember the rush to go into Iraq without an exit strategy. The president has to spell out the mission. I think everyone understands the mission, but he has to spell out exactly what we hope to accomplish. 
The good news is that Secretary Kerry has spoken with the Arab League. They will now take action. And without the support of the Arab League—look, those Arab countries, they have skin in the game. This is a medieval war that we're looking at. The—to establish a caliphate.  I had to ask Bill [Kristol] exactly what that meant.  [Emphasis mine]
But the truth is that the president needs to have the country behind him. Whatever we decide to do, it's going to be tough, it's going to be long, it's going to involve American troops, but it's also going to involve the United States making sure that we can get an international coalition built so that we can solve this problem.
Who’s the “hillbilly” now?
