Dumb Debbie, The DNC And The Wrath Of The Bernistas







Only MSNBC would headline this stuff as 'cheers.'



San Fran Nan gets her corrupt behind booed offstage!



There's a real poetic justice in seeing the Democrats, who have so often orchestrated violent chaos as a political tool being forced to eat a huge meal of it themselves. Especially when it was the Republican convention in Cleveland that was supposed to be the scene of mass riots and protests.

Bernie Sanders tepidly endorsing Hillary Clinton was bad enough as far as his followers were concerned. Now that the Wikileaks emails have surfaced and they see how the DNC had the whole system rigged for her from the very beginning and the dirty tricks they used to keep it that way, they're outraged. Bernie supporters have hit the streets in massive numbers in protest...and one thing I saw that warmed my heart was hundreds of them chanting 'Lock her up!' about Mrs. Clinton, just like their Republican counterparts.

She may have avoided prison in one of the sleaziest, most disgraceful episodes in American political history, but in the court of public opinion, she's guilty as hell except among the True Believers and the bought and paid for.

Aside from revealing the dirty tricks used to torpedo Bernie Sanders, the e-mails revealed in full detail exactly how much cynical disdain the the movers and shakers of the Democrat party have for the people and special interest groups they pretend to care about. Jim Hofts at Gateway Pundit has a rundown of links:

(Lots more at Gateway Pundit.)

Of course, Dumb Debbie took the heat as fall girl and resigned as DNC head, but most people know that she was only following orders like a Good German. It hasn't cooled things down at all.

And the same prog fascist tactics are still in evidence now, even after the DNC's 'apology'. DNC operatives are roaming all over the arena seizing  any 'Bernie' signs they can find, and the DNC even twisted Bernie's arm to text his young minions and beg them not to protest on the convention floor. So far, it hasn't done any good at all...Bernie Sanders lit a fire even he can't control any more.

One amusing sidelight is the fantasy of certain #neverTrump Ready For Hillary maniacs that Putin is behind the Wikileaks release to help Donald Trump. Such conspiracy theories are always amusing,but this one's hysterically funny. Vladimir Putin would love to see Hillary elected. She's corrupt, not too bright and if she becomes troublesome in the least, all he has to do is slide a folder towards her containing copies of some of the juicy e-mails the Russians hacked from her private unsecured server to blackmail her into subservience.

Much of this stuff likely came from her unprotected illegal server anyway along with a lot of classified and secret material Putin's still holding on to. And the e-mails were all real weren't they? Even the DNC admitted as much.

Another hilarious meme is how cluelessly the Democrats revealed how their actions belied everything they supposed stand for:

Basic love of country and patriotism? Flags from every country you could imagine, but not a single American flag at the convention until the Republicans and various journalists pointed it out.

Security? Not one of the Democrat speakers even mentioned ISIS or terrorism.

Compassion for the poor? The Republicans donated their leftover food to various food banks. The Democrats? They threw theirs out.

And of course, the Wikileaks revelations and their chosen candidate have told us a great deal of how the DNC regards 'transparency' honesty in government, respect for law and how they really feel about those special interest groups they pretend to champion. I especially liked the one where the Democrats' refer to conning Latinos as "taco bowl outreach."


Heck tomorrow night's speaker if none other than serial sex abuser Bill Clinton! And of course, Hillary's plan to continue Obama's importation of unvetted Muslim 'refugees' on steroids ought to make any LGBT person with a functioning brain vote against her, as well as young women who don't like the idea of being raped.

And in the midst of all this, we have Bernie Sanders who only know realizes how rigged the game was from the start for Hillary, and decided to swallow it and endorse her.

I almost have to feel sorry for Bernie Sanders, but not too much. There he was, speaking at the convention, begging his followers to vote for Hillary...and getting booed harshly as a sellout:



Of course, there are rewards for selling your soul to the Clintons. Bernie Sanders, 'man of the people' just received a brand new $172,000 sports car from somebody. Check out Bernie's new ride!






Bernie supporters, remember the wise words of Johnny Rotten:



Yeah, you've been sold out big time. Your idol just told you, this is the real world and that means money talks.

The real fun, of course, will come when Mrs Clinton has to address the convention, which includes over a thousand angry Bernie Sanders delegates. The DNC might be able to drag off any protesters but delegates?

That's all Mrs. Clinton needs, especially after Donald Trump threw out a strong, direct appeal to the Bernie supporters in his speech last week. Like blacks and Latinos, a surprising number of Bernie supporters may just secretly pull the lever for Trump in the privacy of the voting booth. And a lot of others will simply stay home and nurse their hurt feelings, or vote for the Green Party.

I expect the usual suspects to manufacture a 'bounce' for Hillary in the post convention polls, but I think for once, her karma is catching up with her.


Stay tuned...

A Few Words About New Hampshire

http://thehill.com/sites/default/files/styles/article_full/public/blogs/trumpsanders.png?itok=o7nEljyy

New Hampshire, the first real national primary of 2016 is now history. As most of you know by now, Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders ran away with it.

Trump ended up with a whopping 35%, almost 100,000 votes and most of the delegates. The nearest challenger, John Kasich ended up with 16%, less than half of Donald Trump's total, with Ted Cruz and Jeb Bush coming in third and fourth respectively and Marco Rubio just edging out Chris Christie for fifth.

While Donald Trump was expected to win New Hampshire all along, no one predicted this kind of spread. It does demonstrate the Donald's cross over appeal as well as his appeal to working class voters. New Hampshire is not Iowa, but it's not exactly diversity city' either. It's a small, mostly white semi-rural state rather like Iowa in some ways. We'll have to wait until South Carolina to see if Trump can repeat what he's done in New Hampshire. If he does, I think he's got a serious chance at being the GOP nominee whether the Republican establishment likes it or not. What's going on now is not so much an election as much as a rebellion, and Donald Trump is benefiting from picking up on that early and becoming its spokesperson.

I can't resist pointing something out here. Various mainstream, establishment Republicans have been saying all along that the GOP needs to broaden its base, reach out to different groups. This is pretty much along the lines of the constituency Donald Trump has assembled, and it's a coalition the Republican Party could have had for itself a long time ago.

It was their idea to avoid reigning in Barack Obama's agenda, which is what they were elected for. They were the ones who chose to do did nothing about ObamaCare, nothing to control this president's amnesty for illegal aliens, nothing about the out of control budget. Oh, they said the right things to the hicks they not so secretly despised come election time, but that was as far as it went. Politics, like nature abohrs a vacuum, and it was Donald Trump who saw that and was the first one in to take the high ground the Republicans so willingly abandoned. And now, they're panicking. One thing Trump still has in his favor is the fear and disarray of the establishment, who are wondering what to do to stop him and Ted Cruz, whom they despise even more than Donald Trump. And while sme of the marginal characters are headed for the wings,enough claimants fighting to be the banner bearer for the GOP establishment are still in this to prevent any real, unified opposition to the insurgents.

For John Kasich, this was essentially a life preserver that will allow him to stay afloat. How well he does in South Carolina will be a good indication on whether he has enough gas to go much further. His goal here was to knock off Marco Rubio and vie for the title of GOP establishment standard bearer and he largely succeeded, with a helping hand from Rubio's abysmal, even comic debate performance that got a lot of attention in New Hampshire. If Rubio does poorly in South Carolina and Kasich laps him again, Rubio is going to be in a tough spot.

Ted Cruz's attitude, as always, is on to the next game. He's a long haul kind of campaigner. He never expected to win here, and even a decent second in South Carolina could revitalize him nicely.

The Democrats had their own drama tonight, with Bernie Sanders decisively trouncing Hillary Clinton almost two to one, 60% to 38%. Due to the backroom nature of Democrat campaigns the delegate total was a lot closer then the GOP's with Sanders taking 14 delegates to Mrs. Clinton's 9.

I'll simply repeat here what I said about Iowa. For Bernie Sanders, New Hampshire, a state with demographics like Iowa's right next door to his home state of Vermont will be his high point. It all goes all downhill from here.

Aside from the fact that the Clinton machine will call in every favor and pull every string to ensure that the votes go her way and the media plays the song she likes, New Hampshire is the last state for awhile where retail campaigning is important, something Mrs. Clinton despises unless it's thoroughly scripted. And in South Carolina, Bernie Sanders will face, for the first time, an electorate with a substantial amount of black Democrat voters. Along with Muslims, blacks are an increasingly important part of the Democrat coalition. Irreligious and anti-Israel he may be, but Sanders still can't erase the fact of being born a Jew no matter how hard he tries.

The last time the Democrats put a Jew on a national ticket was in 2000 with Joseph Lieberman. George W. Bush carried 40% of the Muslim vote that year and that might very well have cost the Democrats Florida and the election. They won't make that mistake again. And according to the Pew Trust, aside from Muslims blacks are the most likely group of Americans to harbor anti-semitic attitudes.

Mrs. Clinton is already exploiting those attitudes and is calling in favors and mustering the troops.

Sanders is doing his best to counteract this and has actually gotten a few endorsements, but a lot of them are from left wing black academics whom the average black Democrat has never heard of. Both he and Mrs. Clinton are spending serious time on their knees in front of race pimp, tax cheat and anti-semite Al Sharpton but it's Mrs Clinton who has the inside track with an MSNBC interview with Rev Al this weekend that will air right before the primary. The odds are pretty good that she takes South Carolina by a comfortable majority.
