For everyone who still believes Hillary was selected fair and square:

DNC Shakes up Leadership as It Looks to Turn Page on Email Hack

And here is the usual optimism BS.
Quote:
"There's a level optimism about the party that I don't think people have held in a while," said Mo Elleithee, the former communications director of the DNC, before the latest departures were announced. "People feel good that there's now going to be a real opportunity to stand the building back up. To fill the void that has been left by the DNC in such a state of disrepair."
Sure after the crooks have delivered the goods, why not.

I prefer to call myself a revolutionary, but otherwise, not a bad analysis Boreas.

TJ has always had a righteous and well justified hatred of the GOP. I suspect his end game in all this is the complete destruction of the republican party. Trump is just the man to accomplish that end game.

As such I cannot judge.

The Republican Party will be just fine. They need to dynamite the Tea Party and the bigots side of the party up, and Trump/Cruz are on a mission to achieve that.

Don't doubt there are plenty of competent stats analysts within the party national committee who will pound this presidential campaign failure up everyone's ass, so the leaders learn, just like Goldwater in '64, and for the Democrats, McGovern in '72.

Complete failure always leads to a strong pivot away from the reasons for the failure.

Actually, I've expanded my agenda to wanting to destroy both parties

We need a political revolution in this country.

My first choice would have been to have it by electing Bernie.

But that's gone by the boards.

So now it's up to Trump.

It won't be pretty, but IMO it's the only option left to to bring about the revolution.

Hillary is just more of the same shit, different day.

Your idea of revolution sounds like anarchy and/or nihilism to me.

Good. Then maybe the Democrats will get their heads out of their asses after they lose to Trump.

Your guy Trump has a 20% chance of winning according to Nate Silver.

He'll never plant his corpulent, cheeto hued ass behind the desk in the Oval office.
