And with this lawsuit, Republicans have a extremely good chance of winning 2016.

[vorgan24]

That lawsuit serves to do nothing but further divide the Democratic base then it already is. Given the scope of data taken by Bernie staffers - Data that was, from various reports, the result of millions of dollars of spending and thousands of hours of work - that the DNC would restrict database access until a full audit to determine the full scope of the breach - And to determine if others, besides Democrats, were able to access the data - is no real surprise.

Bernie had a choice today. He had a choice to stand up for his past calls to run a clean and honest campaign. Given the scope of the data stolen, even if he won the election his legitimacy would always be in doubt - Did he really beat out Hillary because by his own merit, or did he win because he had a copy of a significant portion of HRCs early state plans?

For a man who prides himself on honesty, he should have stepped down. He desired a clean and honest campaign. With his campaign staff stealing confidental, and critical data, from Hillaries campaign his campaign lost any honesty it had.

For a man who prides himself on honesty, he should have allowed a full audit, to determine the scope of his staffers mistakes. He should have let the DNC do their audit and find him clean of any wrongdoing.

For a man who supposedly wanted to run a clean and honest campaign, his choice is anything but.

Rather then do either of these, to restore honesty back to his campaign, he has decided that he will file a lawsuit that, even if it comes out in his favor, will do NOTHING but divide the party and set the stage for a Republican win in 2016.

Congratulations Bernard Sanders. You've gotten your wish - Hillary won't be our next President. I can only pray that our nation will be able to recover from whatever Republican wins the next election. It's going to be a long 4 years, and right now none of the top picks from the Republican party will do anything to better our nation.

1. lol

3. Mega lol!

[think]

2. Hillary and her minion at the DNC have overplayed their hand. Enjoy...

[That Guy 888]

4. Yep, Hillary's henchmen really screwed up. n/t

[moobu2]

5. Yeah but feel the bern.... or something.

[Chan790]

6. If you're that concerned about it...

urge Hillary to withdraw from the race so we can have a uncontroversial primary season.

[Matariki]

9. lol

[Jester Messiah]

7. File under "fiction."

Not particularly good fiction, even.

[LannyDeVaney]

8. Impossible ... he is a Democrat!

Ha. He was never a Democrat.

[Hepburn]

14. Neither is Hillary...your point?

[peacebird]

10. Hillary had a choice today, to stand up and call for calm like Bernie did last debate. "Tired of .."

Or she could go for blood.

Her campaign chose the latter. She and DWS will destroy the Dems.

Pity.

[virtualobserver]

19. He could have asked her why her IT guy was pleading the fifth

instead he defended her.

[djean111]

11. Ah - so, out in the open - I guess DWS et al thought Bernie would just step down.

Nah. Bernie did not do anything wrong.
Wishful thinking.

[Chan790]

17. I have another evil plan.

I think as Sanders supporters, we should create a PAC and send it $5...not a PAC to support Sanders because he doesn't want PAC money...a PAC to fund/support primary opposition to swamp DWS out of her Congressional seat. Imagine if we all gave $5...that would be a 9-figure war-chest to run ads opposing DWS. We could literally blanket the South Florida airwaves in ads against her. Ads designed to send her off into hell screaming as her seat goes to a real Democrat.

...and who said DWS was terrible at motivating people to donate to Democratic campaigns?

[Hepburn]

12. Do send a thank you card to DWS and the DNC Coronation Committee

This was a stupid set up on their part. Hillary is toast...and you can thank her pals who thought screwing Bernie was the way to help Hillary. She is now even a bigger loser than before.

[AgingAmerican]

13. DWS/Hillary can't get the genie back in the bottle?

[Scootaloo]

15. "Hillary won't be our next President."

Neither will a Republican.

[TSIAS]

16. Hillary needs all the help she can get

If Sanders, O'malley, Trump, Cruz, Jeb!, Rubio, and the rest just step down she might actually get to become president.
