This is Rovian: attacking Bernie by attacking his biggest strength, his integrity

Why did the DNC decide to publicize this, especially after the Sanders people reported the glitch months ago? It was their way to attack Bernie's biggest strength, his integrity.

Debbie has got to go and Bernie gets an extra donation today.

Totally agree. Hillary is desperate and she and her group are doing the "set up." Very transparent. monmouth4 Dec 2015 #2

I can't think of a day when I've felt more contempt for people who are supposedly on my same side of the political aisle. I wonder exactly how alienating a huge swath of the base is supposed to help with the general election.

This came after DFA endorsed Sanders even after Dean asked the group’s members to support Clinton. By the way the vendors CEO was Clinton's 2008's CTO. They fear Bernie's momentum.

I meant to mention that but the press conference was getting ready to start and I had to go. That thought had crossed my mind earlier today.

It's been too much good news for Bernie lately and Debbie had to do something to try to derail it.

The timing is no coincidence. They brought this up to the DNC two months ago.

and in the wake of other breaches that were reported by the Sanders campaign that never resulted in this, make it look like an intentional smear.

I too do not think this was an accident. It was given to the media to knock down one of Bernie's top features - his integrity.

The gauntlet has been thrown and I stand with Bernie.
