Since the Democratic Party allowed Bernie to compete in the primaries as a Democrat, it's a moot point. Why they allowed it is a whole another story.

They recognized that the voters needed the illusion of a choice so they seized on the opportunity of providing their anointed candidate with a 73 year old soshalist Jew with bad hair from a tiny state. As usual, the Democrats completely misjudged the mood of the electorate and their hunger for change.

Because they figured Hillary would destroy the only remaining New Dealer.

Some nothingburger. The State Dept. IG ripped her a new one and the FBI report isn't out yet.

Here is Hillary 'Denial' Clinton in action:
Quote:
Clinton, Sept. 4, 2015: I know why the American people have questions about it. And I want to make sure I answer those questions, starting with the fact that my personal email use was fully above board. It was allowed by the State Department, as they have confirmed.

Clinton, Sept. 7, 2015: What I did was allowed by the State Department. It was fully above board.

Clinton, May 8: Well, as I have said many times, there was — I was absolutely permitted, and I did it.

Clinton, May 26: Well, it was allowed and the rules have been clarified since I left about the practice.
And here are the rules:
Quote:
The IG report said that it has been department policy since 2005 — four years before Clinton took office — that “normal day-to-day operations” be conducted on government servers.

The report also said that in 2007 the department adopted additional policies requiring “non-Departmental information systems” used to “process or store department information” to meet the same security controls as the department’s systems, and requiring that they be registered with the department. Clinton did not adhere to either policy.
And there is more damning evidence such as violating the rules regarding archiving of emails. If her excuse is 'rules were not followed but no laws were broken', the 'Never Hillary' campaign bus just rolled into town.

Hillary’s State Department Pressured Haiti Not To Raise Minimum Wage to $.61 An Hour

http://news.groopspeak.com/hillarys-...to-61-an-hour/

Quote:
In Haiti, people work for peanuts. Slave wages. Less than $5 per day, but they supply the U.S. with tons of affordable clothing from big-name brands like Levi’s, Hanes and Polo. Haiti’s big advantage, compared to Asia, is their proximity to us, and thousands of Haitians are employed in the textile industry in part because of that. When Haiti passed a wage raise from $.24 per hour to $.61 per hour, American companies were predictably outraged.

U.S. companies, especially the clothing manufacturers, outsource their manufacturing to places like Haiti specifically because they can get away with paying slave wages. They would only support a minimum wage increase to $.31 per hour, and decided to get the U.S. Department of State involved to try and pressure Haiti’s government to keep the wage raise down.


This took place in 2011, and Hillary Clinton was the Secretary of State. Our corporations were successful, and Haitians continued to work for worse slave wages than they otherwise would have, all so U.S. corporations could take home higher profits.
