I’m going to suggest books. Brazile’s coming out November 7 and Warren’s several books which came some months ago. But if we’re looking to Warren to save the party by running for president, we’d better drop that ASAP. A R governor would replace her with a R senator if she were to leave the senate.

Come on. Go read Josh’s fine editorial about self-serving Donna Brazile, please! She’s trying to get her fellow political chair emeritus, Ed Gillespie, elected governor of VA. She headed the DNC he the RNC–so pals???

Sometimes only 140 characters tell us all we need to know.

Has anyone else seen this yet?
I said at the time they came out that we had no way of knowing if they were altered and they were. At least some.

I like her—as a gadfly on the outside. She’s got the right idea much of the time but this is really stupid. Unless she and Brazile can prove actual “rigging”, Im 100% with Josh on this.

Apparently the Russians also EDITED the DNC and Podesta emails that every stupid reporter in America was salivating after and believing showed “bias” in HRC’s campaign. How dumb are the members of the press when they want to make headlines without working for them? https://www.rawstory.com/2017/11/bombshell-report-reveals-russians-altered-at-least-some-of-leaked-podesta-emails/?comments=disqus

I wouldn’t want Warren as a 2020 candidate. It’s time for Dems to look ahead and find a fresher, younger slate of candidates.

Silly me. I thought with all the evidence that Drumpf had been elected illegally, that somehow his coronation would be vacated by “Deep State”. Since his reign has been allowed to go through though, I am learning more than I ever did in school what “Rule of Law” really means. I have heard that phrase all my life, not thinking much about it, because we as a country just ran on automatic while most of us watched Reality TV. That Constitution we have is one incredible, possibly life-saving document. My eternally optimistic nature has to believe that we will come out on the other side of this all the better and stronger for it; that the dark forces brought to us by the Russians, the Billionaires and the GOP will be roundly defeated. Only then can we squabble amongst ourselves.

The Raw Story report leads to the AP story which is the subject of this thread.
@junebug Warren is 68, and while I don’t know how old you are when you’re no longer “fresh” and wake up to find you’re not young any more, you might not want to be discarded because of it

“The group’s hackers seemed particularly interested in Democratic officials working on voter registration issues…” Seth Rich was the DNC Voter Expansion Data Director, so presumably the hackers targeted him. Now I’m wondering if his unsolved killing might suggest a Russian hit. His death certainly shook up the DC office, and probably was instrumental in installing that “undercurrent of fear” described in the article,

I just read it. It’s also self-serving.

Democratic party members can have the conversation. Independents who tried to hijack the party apparatus can go suck eggs.

Well, you wanted a two-party system. What else were they going to do?
It was recommended to you that you read Josh’s very fine editorial. Apparently you haven’t
Whether or not Clinton should have won the Democratic primary, she did. It wasn’t rigged.

Form their own party. If successful, it would become one of the major two parties.
“Independents” never want to do the heavy lifting of establishing state parties, or even local parties. They never want to run for city council or school board. No – they only want to go for the “big prize.”

Another shout-out re “Putin’s Revenge” on FRONTLINE…

We saw that. I felt like they could have been a little more forthcoming about the possibility of Trump and Putin’s relationship being of a longer term than Putin just noticing Trump running for president while praising him. Otherwise it’s really an amazing piece of journalism.

Agreed. They would have needed to produce Part 3 had they tried to cover that part.

Yeah I know - they had an awful lot to explain as it was.
