Bernie: Not Going Down Without A Fight - Niedermeyer's Dead Horse

So this guy, Josh Uretsky, who took advantage of the "bug" in the software that allowed the Sanders campaign to view Clinton's files... recommended by the DNC.

"It's not as if we conjured this guy Josh from thin air. This is an individual... who was recommended to us by the DNC and NGP VAN," the adviser said.
According to the adviser, one of the references that Uretsky gave when he applied to work with the campaign was the DNC's National Data Director Andrew Brown, who works closely with the shared voter file program.

The DNC has declined to comment.

Oh, and, ahem...

Would anyone put it past Clinton to plant data on Sanders? #DemDebate

Missed the target, but hit the tree?

Rumor has it Bernie has been piping this into his campaign offices to keep the staff motivated.

Let us recall that at that debate, the Sandman pompously declared that "the American people are tired of" hearing about Hillary's e-mails.

At which point the backstage press room, filled to capacity with neutral, objective, factual, nonpartisan journalistic professionals (backed by layers of fact-checkers and editors) erupted in a chorus of loud cheering.

All the Democrats are. She has the same thing going for her that propelled Choom Boy into office: you can't beat a Historic First!

Last time, the fact that the Mocha Messiah was Even More Historic than Shrillery cost her the nomination. Won't be that way this time. Democrats don't seem to have a viable nonwhite candidate to throw into the ring, and the Republican versions -- Cruzer, Rubio and Carson -- don't count, because Republican.

Shrillery's Free Pass will last until she goes head-to-head with Teh Donald. He seems to have no fear of telling the truth about her. If the rest of the party follows his lead -- yeah, as if... -- she will have some 'splainin' to do.

It is entirely possible I'm the stupid one. Seriously, whenever someone says "hey, y'all go read this tweet!" I'll go, and it's like I have to learn how to retrain my brain how to read backwards. Somebody will write something, and then I guess everyone else responds to it, and there's a link in there to the original tweet or whatever, and everybody has to repeat it. And then say something clever about it.

And I'm wondering "what the hell? Am I in the beginning of a conversation, the end of a conversation, or is this string of tweets even a conversation, as my puny brain understands the concept of conversation?"

Really, that's pretty much how it goes every time. I'm left wondering what I'm missing.

48 The reason the media spends so much time on Trump is to divert attention away from the fact that Democrats have gone so far to the extreme left that they are running open Marxists for US president! In my lifetime, Commie thugs with Sanders ideology vowed to bury us and the US Govt trained us to kill them and sent us overseas to do just that. While Reagan and GHWB were waging a brilliant war to defeat the evil Soviet Union, Sanders took his bride there on their honeymoon! If you thought Howard Dean was crazy - and he is - then Bernie Sanders belongs in a padded cell....along with much of the rest of the Democrat Party! Instead of promising a chicken in every pot....Sanders promise is a fruitcake in every closet! And Hillary Clinton is so corrupt she makes John Edwards look ethical!

Thankgiving, so daughter reported, my nephew argued with his mom about Hillary, listing her criminal behavior and lies... and concluded with praising Sanders!

Bern is also the preference of one son's new girlfriend (cute, but leftie-infected - son and I have had some words about this).

I suspect there's no actual thought or understanding of what Bernie stands for involved. He seems to just be "the other democrat" for folks who don't like Hillary. 'Cause you can't go Rethuglican or Trumpclown.

I often take pictures of my cats, and have the immediate impulse to send it to everyone I know. Thankfully, my tech skills are not at the point where the operation can be completed immediately, and the amount of time and effort it would otherwise take is sufficient to give me time to reflect on how stupid it would be for me to send everyone cat pictures every time I take one.

Sanders is clearly the weedy little hippie who embraced Socialism in college-

to bang stupid, patchouli-stanking, STD-infested, doped-up hippie chicks.

And somehow he forgot socialism was just his banging-chicks-strategy became his career.

Listen to him speak. No depth. No fire. No passion.

Just a lame-ass, historically and numerically illiterate recitation of false "facts" and socialist lies.

I think in a way that Bernie sees his hippie socialist peace dream-

destroyed by the Chicago-corrupt fuck-noodle, rich man-asskissing, pay-to-play, cronyist reality of Obama.

Not that socialism anywhere is ever any different.

And Hillary! is that times 12.

This is a weak gamma-males, passive-aggressive assertion of the "true" values of socialism.

Bernie was supposed to give Hillary! just enough opposition that it didn't look like a coronation, and allow her to clear away some of the attacks against her that the GOP would use (Benghazi, etc) by using them for weak attacks that she could brush off.

Instead everyone hates her and she's a horrible candidate, which means that people in the DNC are genuinely afraid that Bernie could surge among college voters and blue-collar workers and wound Hillary!.

I am absolutely not making this up:

A few years ago, Scum Scamfrisco had an actual on-the-ballot-in-the-voting-booth municipal measure which would have renamed the local sewage treatment plant after George W. Bush. All fees paid, all signatures gathered and verified.

It failed, because of a countercampaign which pointed out that the sewage treatment plant actually accomplished a useful public purpose and should not have its reputation thus sullied.

He was there for a while because no one else would take him as a kid, the goofy grandparents had run about as far as they could go without a final destination of Guam, and he blew town at the first opportunity. Naming a snow cone or new strain of Maui Wowie is about all he is going to get from a place he treats like a pit stop. Only the media would think this strange.
