Its Not Just Arizona: Election Shenanigans Have Defined the Democratic Primaries - and Benefit Hillary Clinton
The DNC has relied upon its favorite scapegoats (benign incompetence, and of course, Republicans) to explain away the convenient mishaps and anomalies that have consistently favored Clinton as she elbows her way to the Democratic coronation ceremony in Philadelphia.

Yes, aside from its bloated prison population and staggering wealth inequality, the United States can now boast of another commonality it shares with banana republics: Only 3 in 10 Americans believe that the nations election process is functional a record low, according to a new Gallup poll.
And who can blame them? When you look at what happened in Iowa, Massachusetts and Arizona, its easy to understand why Americans have lost faith in their electoral system.

(3,133 posts)bad judgment call from Hillary. Every vote should count, whether it's for Hillary or Bernie. I have heard these statements made in the past, in these matters. This is shameful for the United States, as well as shameful of Hillary not to speak out.

I don't care. Bring it.
