Can I ask a stupidly simple but honest question?

[Blue_Tires]

Between all the hacking, spies, informants, leakers, disgruntled staffers, gossip, exposes, criticism and just general true-but-embarrassing shit, WHY is every facet of DNC operations public knowledge while the RNC gets free reign? I can't even remember the last time the RNC was in the regular news cycle...

1. Because IOKIYAR...

[PoliticAverse]

2. Did the onetime head of the RNC write a book and start appearing everywhere promoting it? n/t

[Blue_Tires]

3. But the hacking, the informants

that staffer killed by a mugger and even something supposedly simple like naming a new DNC head were in the cycle for days and days?

Why always us?

4. I was wondering the same thing

It takes a special investigation to expose the RNC. However, they do find other ways to divide themselves. People divide--look at churches. Leaders unite. I'm still with her.

5. Party in power is run from the White House

Party out of power is run from the National Committee. I heard a lot about Reince Priebus during the Obama years. I didn't know how Debbie Wasserman Schultz was until late 2015.

9. I remember Priebus

What I don't remember is anything other than carefully crafted interviews... No RNC dirt ever gets reported

6. I remember reading about voters being purged before the primaries last year.

I registered early on because I liked Bernie Sanders and my state has a closed primary. Some of my friends waited too long and were turned away during the primary. I voted for Hillary Clinton in the general election when Bernie didn't win it. I don't remember where I read about the voter purge and that news was disconcerting. I have always felt that Hillary Clinton as been dragged through the mud since I can remember when. I was just watching the Frontline special on Putin. I have only made it through the first half hour of part one, but something in it struck me. I know that Putin came up through the KGB, but I did not now that he was a counter intelligence specialist. I also happened to catch Samantha Bee's last show this morning and one of her guests said that it would have been very easy for the Russians to purge our voting rolls remotely. I'm thinking this whole mess of Bernie vs Hillary is more Russian counter-intelligence set up to divide us and destabilize us. It was stated on the Frontline special that Putin prefers the Republican party over the Democratic party because the republicans leave him alone whereas the Democrats like to sanction him. I think he finds it far more easy to manipulate the republicans, so he really has to destabilize the Democratic party and make it look weak and ineffective. The republican party is delusion, willfully ignorant and absurd, so there's no point in going after them. Anyway, that's my 2 cents. I have to finish watching that Frontline special.

7. because RNC are pros at smears, disinformation, fake news, spamming & personal 'wealth building'

and 'tax free' political charities, and using Americas Federal funds for their personal 'for profit' side businesses, and using state funds for similar personal gains.

Some D summed all that squandering of other peoples, ALL 'the peoples' money- in one word, 'selfish'.

Rs don't like Public exposure of their cruelty, not at all. That's why it's always important we resist & expose them and OUR FREE PRESS KEEPS ASKING THOSE QUESTIONS for us Americans.

10. If the MSM told the whole truth about the GOP they would be done for.

And it's in the MSMs interest to have the GOP around to antagonize the Dems. They were all but dead in the last years of the corrupt and evil BushCo Regime but the MSM revived them.

11. Because the RNC demands and get the 'Party before Country' loyalty

They will, and are, willing to gut democracy before protecting it.

12. To be fair to the RNC, they were largely NOT in the bag for Trump in 2015. (n/t)

[FSogol]

13. Because no one is trying to divide the GOP.
