MSNBC
on Dems: ‘A Bag Job From the Beginning’
At least a few contributors to that
bastion of liberalism that is MSNBC are willing to express an honest opinion
regarding how biased the DNC has been in their dealings with the two Democratic
candidates vying for the nomination.
Two separate MSNBC programs and
panels discussed the presidential race and how obvious it has been that the DNC
is actively rigging the process in favor of Hillary Clinton.
Chris Hayes said, “It can be the case
that it is true – it is institutionally the prerogative of the Democratic Party
to nominate Hillary Clinton and also she is winning. Right, it seems to me that
is the issue here. Like sure, the Democratic Party of Nevada does what Harry
Reid says. And they’re – you know what I mean? You are right about that.”
“But you’re exactly right” Philip
Bump responded. “The Democratic National Committee, I’m sure, is mostly leaning
towards preferring to have Hillary Clinton as the nominee.”
“I think this also exposes another
problem,” Christina Greer said. “Which is the frustration with Bernie Sanders
supporters where it feels as though Debbie Wasserman Schultz has always had her
thumb on the scale for Hillary Clinton and so have so many other Democratic
leaders across the country.”
Hayes agreed, “Right, like it is
clearly the case that – when given truth serum – Debbie Wasserman Schultz
vastly prefers Hillary Clinton to be the nominee, obviously, and to the extent
there are things that can be done institutionally and marginally to facilitate
that outcome.”
The panel on Morning Joe had a
similar discussion. Mike Barnacle told the panel, “Yeah,
look, you can make a strong case, a legitimate case that this has been a bag
job from the beginning with the establishment of the debates.” “Total bag job,” Joe Scarborough
said.
“And Bernie keeps using the phrase
“rigged.” It has been rigged,” Barnacle continued.
Mika Brzezinski then said, “The way
the system has been rigged to a coronation from the get-go due to [Debbie Wasserman
Schultz] is exactly what that is.”
“Bernie Sanders has been running on
a 45 percent angled slope from the very start,” Scarborough said. “Hillary
Clinton has had every advantage, every break given to her from the very
beginning by this Democratic Party. It has been rigged.” What do you make of what is
happening on the Democrats side? Does this bode well for Republicans?
