No, it was against Bernie, but these are all things that impact the National Election.

Remember when she got fired from the Dukakis campaign for spreading rumors about GHWB?
Yep, it's just more fuel for the 'Crooked Hillary' angle.
This election can't come soon enough. Part of me still hopes that the party is sitting on a juicy Trump tape to release this week... There's gotta be something else.

True, especially considering Trump almost always mentions in his stump speech that Bernie was cheated in the Dem. primaries. He wants disgruntled bernie supporters to vote for him and against hilary

Great cant wait for news networks to pick this up with "moderator gave clinton questions before debate.".
Just today theres still news outlets still saying the Clinton email probe was reoopened.

No worries, she'll be awarded a high ranking cabinet position for her loyalty just like Debbie.
Bernie screwed himself by not campaigning in the south
No he didn't. Motherfucker just LOST.

"When they go low.."
basically, they all cheat, amirite?

Oh please
Literally two questions from two events(debate and town hall) that she got separate from her job at CNN from individuals not even working for CNN. She had no legal or contractual obligation not to share them once she became DNC head.
Now, if the Kremlin would see fit to release the other side's emails constantly through wikileaks I wonder what we'd find on Trump's end.

Prepare for disappointment when everyone blames Bernie and reddit kids instead.

CNN's CEO is in the pocket of Trump. That says it all.

It doesn't even sound like she got actual questions. It's sounds more like she found out one of the question askers was from Flint and her family had lead poisoning. Who would have thought a townhall in Michigan would have a question about Flint's lead poisoning scandal? Clearly neither candidate would have prepared for a lead question without previous knowledge. :/
No. Please, don't make sense. We're busy frothing at the mouth at all the corruption.
From top to bottom the deck was stacked against him, the leaks proves it. The rest is just semantics.
Wonder how much Trump helped their ratings. Hell Trump LOVED them until general election came around.

Gee I wonder what the Hillary camp is like? Probably good 'ol folk and a swell 'ol time.
The Networks secretly love Trump cuz their ad revenue's been through the roof this year.

CNN making bank this election.
That's not the point. She didn't get the question because of her corrupt ties to CNN. She got neither question from her job at CNN. It's not illegal to share the questions if she got them. She did not get a list of all the questions, she got one for two events. And even if Hillary didn't get the Flint question beforehand she'd have to have a major brain hemorage to not see that question coming.

They'll just blame millennials and Bernie people for the loss even though hillary is unpopular. Shes lucky to be running against Trump really.
He wasn't a Democrat to begin with and he is back to being an independent. He had no right to come in and hijack the Democratic party. Populist garbage is why we have a turd mother fucker like trump in the first place. I hope the Democratic party never adopts such a stupid and irrational rhetoric.
Bernie doesn't seem to think so. He seems pretty happy at a shot at the budget committee, where in a Dem congress he'll have major control over policy.
People don't like knowing how the sausage is made or what happens in the slaughter house. But they love themselves some steak, sausage, and bacon.
It's not comparable because we don't have any juicy hacked emails. Lewandowski is in contact with Trump on a daily basis, traveled with the campaign, hid his face getting off the plane, takes calls from Trump while on the air, reportedly involved with debate prep. But CNN feels "uncomfortable" with Donna. Anyway, I'm not defending Donna for what she did at all but there should be an equal measure applied.

I think part of her problem, though, is that the phrase "well it's not actually illegal" does seem to dog her somewhat.
at least they don't have some high holy than thou complex and yelling everything is corrupt and rigged when Sanders wasn't able to win the minority due to his own messaging; but nope, blame the DNC.
I hear you, a tiny minority of Hillary supporters are pure vicious when it comes to defending her campaign at any cost. If she was campaigning against a half decent politician, she would have been sunk long ago. This election has been absolutely horrid.

That is the point. She used her position to get a question early to a specific candidate. Nobody is talking about legalities, but it is ethically wrong.
dave is ok
aztek is ok
Clearly she should be fired.
I don't know why people are defending her on this one.

Are you saying the DNC did not favour Clinton, even ever so slightly? None? Zilch? Nada?

Clintons people dropping like flies a week before the election. This is amazing!!!
No. He lost by millions of votes. Donna Brazile isn't the reason he didn't get those millions of votes, nor is the DNC.

Because she helped Clinton.
This also reflects poorly on Clinton for not disclosing that she was provided questions beforehand.

You can argue about how much of an actual benefit getting the question provided, but you really can't make a case it wasn't unethical. It sucks, but dems are just going to have to take the L and hopefully learn something.

What equal measure isn't being applied? As far as I know Corey hasn't been caught doing anything similar to what Donna has been accused of.

What exactly do you think is happening?
Yeah, he lost by a lot. Probably doesn't matter.
Does disturb me to see the number of people hand-waving this away as if it's no big deal... If this were to happen to Trump, it would be a 30 page thread already.
Why? Before she became a superdelegate she was always outspoken for Clinton, it's not like she hid her bias. It's up to the debate moderators to keep the questions under wraps, it's not up to partisans like her to keep it secret. And, again, we're talking literally two questions for two different events, one of which was so painfully obvious that it was pointless to even leak.

Bullshit. Bernie lost because he did next to no campaign efforts in key primary states, had basically one rally speech he kept reusing, had some answers to questions that really turned off moderates, and because Hillary Clinton is the candidate with a history of getting shit done to back up her promises.
And I'm glad Bernie lost the primaries, because I know of MANY conservatives who are currently willing to vote for Hillary but would never have voted for Bernie even with Trump as the GOP nominee.
