She was essentially ousted months ago. She's a whore for Hilary, and I would not expect a single honest, or interesting word from her anyway.

While I totally agree that politics in America have become corrupt to the core I'm failing to see what the big deal is about this particular story. Hasn't Bernie Sanders been an independent much of his career? If so it makes sense to me that the DNC would prefer someone that has always ran as a democrat to represent their party. Same thing has been going on in the RNC with Trump, but to probably even a greater degree. Much of the RNC has publicly been against Trump since the start yet not a big deal is being made of it like it is on the other side.

You don't find the DNC targetting Sander's jewish heritage/faith as an exploitable weakness as a big deal?

Considering the other underhanded shit that is common place in politics that is small potatoes. And did they even actually do it? Ain't saying she shouldn't be criticized for it but it's just surprising to me that it has led to a resignation considering the other things I see happen in American politics that go completely unpunished. Hell, Hillary Clinton does something more corrupt than this while tying her shoelaces, lol.

Apparently fools make up a large portion of the base because they seem to trumpet such nonsense at every whim. I'd like to think this would help some of the voters realize how corrupt the nominee really is rather than just ignoring it because the right makes such claims.

The difference is the RNC let the the votes decide the outcome with out trying to force an outcome. The RNC wanted anyone but Cruz or Trump.

@JimB: it seems that the RNC just had lost control rather than them letting trump happen out of principle.

So it was for a lack of trying
