The pressure is obvious and the hypocrisy runneth over.

Donna Brazile, the former DNC Interim Chairperson and CNN
contributor blew up this morning, irritated by RNC
ChairwomanÂ* Ronna McDaniel's comments that the
Democrat nomination process may be "rigged" against
Bernie.



There's nothing rigged. At Bernie's request, the super delegate rules
were changed after 2016 and he got what he wanted. If Bernie gets the
required number of delegates during the first vote at the Convention,
he'll get the nomination. If he doesn't have enough delegates and no one
else does, there will be a second vote in which the committed delegates
may change their votes and the "super delegates" may vote for the first
time. That's what Bernie wanted. Now, he is saying whoever arrives at
the Convention with the most delegates should win.

If I had a say in this, I'd say
"**** you, Bernie."


The DNC apparatchiks may just do that. Last minute rule changes are
far from unheard of, particularly with the democrats. Have you ever
heard the real story of how Harry Truman got the VP nod in 1944?
It was a total sham. The Wallace people were simply gavelled down


I went to college in the area, worked for the KC Star, interviewed
Truman and met him a number of times, but, golly gee, I had no idea.

Wallace was off the ticket months before the convention. He simply
didn't know it. And Truman wasn't the first choice to replace Wallace.
