Day one of the DNC leaks. 20,000 leaked emails available on wikileaks. Wikileaks will release more every day until the convention.

In a surprise to absolutely nobody, the DNC was working against Sanders from the get-go.

HRC Lying? Quelle surprise.

wikileaks said:

For months, you've heard the Clinton campaign endlessly repeat in interviews and on social media that they have raised millions and millions of dollars for state parties through something called the "Hillary Victory Fund." They've even used it as an attack line to insinuate Bernie wasn't willing to help down-ballot Democrats. Well, yesterday morning, thanks to a Politico investigation, we found out that less than 1 percent of the $61 million raised by the Victory Fund has stayed in state party coffers. And indeed, the majority of the money spent by the Victory Fund has gone to benefit Hillary Clinton's primary campaign against us. The piece said some state party fundraisers believe they are basically acting as "money laundering conduits."

DNC planned anti-trump protests


DNC smearing Trump with fake job offer:

Wikileaks said:

Title: Honey Bunch (that’s what the boss will call you) Job requirements: * No gaining weight on the job (we’ll take some “before” pictures when you start to use later as evidence) * Must be open to public humiliation and open-press workouts if you do gain weight on the job * A willingness to evaluate other women’s hotness for the boss’ satisfaction is a plus * Should be proficient in lying about age if the boss thinks you’re too old Working mothers not preferred (the boss finds pumping breast milk disgusting, and worries they’re too focused on their children).

This is only the first day! I can't wait to see what else is to come.

I am constantly amazed at the never ending supply of stench around HRC.

It has been known for months that the anti-trump protests were being organised.

How better to clam a candidate is "bringing violence to the campaign" than bussing in campaigners to disrupt his campaign rallies and pick fights with people?

[dudleybloke]

Funny how the only paid protesters are Soros funded Democrats.

Not as funny as Trump paying actors to cheer for him at his announcement he was running for the presidential nomination - http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/donald-trump...

So he's paying to big himself up. There's a huge difference between that and paying for people to disrupt the opposition.
But Trump is evil, blah blah blah.

I don't agree with it, but is it any different to HRC's social media shills?

Not particularly different, but perhaps shows the ineptitude of his campaign that is was so easy to spot the advert.
I'd think pretty much every major political group uses paid social media - even Britain First do ( makes up maybe 80% of their Facebook followers).

And that's ho Brexiters felt too and you afaik you denigrated them. Hypocrite, if so.

I think Kaine should stand for President, Hilary is stenched.

Good point. I would have thought that any other democrat would have walked it. But outside her fan base, who will not accept any criticism whatsoever, she's quite hated.

But hey, it's her turn.

[dudleybloke]

Looks good!

That is so insulting to all good hard working enterprising Americans. & Hilary is "the stenched one".

So.... Kaine vs. Pence....compare and contrast

Mike Pence - "I'm a Christian, a conservative and a republican - in that order".

Still no mention of human being.

[Sam All]

Nor sure which category the stenched Hilary fits into?

[unrepentant]

Someone needs to tell Trump he's supposed to be running a presidential campaign.

Apparently he's so obsessed with Cruz and Kasich that he's talking about funding a PAC to go after them. No republican has ever won the White House without taking Ohio so Don decides now is a good time to attack the very popular GOP governor of that state!

Don't think Don's getting the usual "bounce" from his convention somehow.

What a bunch of crap. I listen to Sharpton on MSNBC. if he's a racist, it must be a secret. You probably think that BLM is racist too for complaining about police violence toward minorities (and whites too, for that matter).

Former republican mayor of NYC Michael Bloomberg has endorsed Clinton. A great endorsement for the dem ticket, Bloomberg is a very successful businessman (way, way, way wealthier than Trump with no bankruptcies and unlike Trump he's completely self made) and popular with sensible republicans.

A sensible post finally, devoid of prejudice and bile. Well done.

Anyone watch the 2 docs on Clinton and Trump, on Sky Atlantic, admittedly this is Murdoch media? At the same time I'm reading about the DNCleaks wikiLeaks on Twitter and reading this http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/11156794.html

That's right a Huff Post blog from Michael Moore, that Michael Moore - no friend of Trump - Says he expects Trump to win the presidency. He needs 4 rust belt states left behind by the out of touch Elites in Washington, and on the back of Clinton climate policy on coal alone could push them from democratic blue to republican red. And that's all he needs.

And the Trump vote is already motivated to vote.

Strong whiff of Brexit narrative here.

It really could happen.

Honestly it won't. Moore is very close to Michigan, being from Flint and that area has suffered in the past 20 years. But the democrats weren't responsible for the loss of the GM jobs (Obama bailed out Detroit when the republicans wanted to let the market prevail) and the recent water scandal can be placed right at the feet of the republican mayor. Obama won Michigan by 10 points and I think HRC will prevail but even if she doesn't the chances of Trump winning in Ohio, Florida, Virginia etc.. are remote and he needs to sweep. I think it's unlikely she will lose any state that Obama won in '12 (PA is the most at risk) and I think when it's all done she'll come close or take Georgia, Utah (the Mormons hate Trump), North Carolina and maybe even Texas now their voter ID law aimed at stopping minorities from voting has been shot down in court.

Sanders is onside, Trump's negatives are so huge and so debilitating in a general election and the path to a republican victory is so narrow (even for a good candidate) that it is difficult to see anything other than a Clinton victory.

DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz to resign after DNC convention as a result of the DNC leaks. The leaks showed the DNC rigging the system in favour of HRC.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/hacked-ema...

HRC consequently appoints DWS "Honorary Chair" of her campaign, and says DWS will "continue to serve as a surrogate for my campaign nationally"
https://www.hillaryclinton.com/briefing/statements...

Couldn't make it up really. Did nobody tell HRC you're not meant to rehire the scapegoat?

Not exactly new ground for HRC though. When Obama didn't want Sidney Blumenthal involved, Hillary went around the President, gave him a job inside her foundation, and passed along government materials his way that he had no right being involved in.
