Nobody's saying that the Hillary campaign wanted Trump to be president. As for why they wanted him to be the nominee, there's no way that none of the sources say why.
Especially since the Dem party leadership apparently learned nothing and are still using the same pied piper strategy to support far right candidates in Republican primaries for the exact same reason.
Excellent. That’s honestly how all of the implications read in Ozma’s, Anticolonialist’s, and your comments. Not a single one of you completed your thoughts, leaving open inference that I perceived as motive to get Trump elected. I’m glad you hear that’s not your claim.
I can see how they’d ply Trump to run, and perceive him as an easy target in the election.
That doesn’t change the source of the failure. No matter how much pressure Hillary put on Debbie, it was Debbie’s job to remain impartial. It’s a candidate’s job to try to gain favor from the convention, just as it’s the convention’s job to remain impartial.
The blame for Trump’s presidency still falls on the shoulders of Debbie Wasserman Schultz and the abstaining voters.
"No you don't understand, political candidates are supposed to be slimy and dishonest!"
Your insufferable attitude aside, that's an insane position to take and it's ridiculous you said that without providing anything to defend it like it's common knowledge or something to be desired in a presidential candidate - especially after you were so anal about things that were explicitly spelled out for you and which you still struggled to understand
It’s the job of a candidate to self-advocate in every avenue. It’s the job of the committee to ensure a fair and impartial primary. Which one failed to do their job?
I assume you also blame Netanyahu for taking your tax dollars instead of the government for providing them?
You're not making sense, dude. And your analogy is wack, too.
It's their job to break the rules/cheat? Is it a sportsball player's job to try and break their rivals' legs?
Do you blame workers when they lose their jobs when factory jobs are shipped overseas?
I'd be happy to place some blame on lazy/disinterested citizens, complicit corporate media networks, the effect of legalized bribery in politics, but to go the other way and actually say you support candidates doing whatever it takes to win is gross
Your analogies don’t fit this scenario at all.
Have you ever worked with a kiss-ass? Someone who constantly sucks up to the boss and is always trying to impress them, even if they’re not the best at their job? Imagine the boss giving that employee preferential treatment over the other employees. More breaks, days off, buys them lunch, etc.
Who is wrong? The leader or the employee?
A politician’s job during a campaign is self-promotion. Of course they would try to ply favor from their convention. It’s absolutely expected behavior from a person in that position. It’s the conventions job to say no and keep it fair.
I’m not saying Hillary was ethical, but that Debbie was responsible.
