Once upon a time, the Democratic Party was fondly referred to as “The Democracy.”
But that was a long time before the Clintons took control of the party’s heart and soul. It’s certainly been an insider’s game since.
Case in point? The deliberate scuttling of the Bernie Sanders campaign. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz lost her chairperson-ship of the Democratic National Committee because of her (WikiLeaked email) collaboration with the Clintons over the dirty tricks that made sure Bernie got nowhere near the top levers of power.
And now we have Donna Brazile, covertly doing all she can to ensure the election to the Presidency of arguably the most corrupt politician of our time.
This political operative left CNN’s talking head ranks under a cloud — she had leaked to Clinton campaign communication director Jennifer Palmieri details about a question to be asked at a CNN-hosted presidential debate. Though CNN is not for nothing popularly known as the Clinton News Network, even CNN muckety-mucks felt betrayed.
But when interviewed by the indefatigable Megyn Kelly of Fox News, Brazile defended herself from the charges — “as a Christian woman” who understood “persecution”; she also compared her interviewer to a thief, and blamed Russian hackers.
Now, as a result of another WikiLeaks email exposure, Brazile has been caught again. The network has severed ties with her, and she’s defending herself with lines like “I try to learn as much as I can, share as much as I can.”
Unquestionably.
Having proven her loyalties, it looks like Ms. Brazile’s on track for a job in the new administration.
This is Common Sense. I’m Paul Jacob.

Those Dems. Just can’t trust them any further than you can throw them and as big as some of them are, I can’t throw them very far. In fact I probably could not get them off the ground.
Jennifer Palmieri is the communications director for Hillary’s campaign, so she is only 22 years old, according to a story associated with the infamous Anthony Weiner, which said he was sexting her when she was 17! If true, then we know why she was hired, correct? Huma kept her by her side, although Jennifer had proclaimed her undying love for Anthony and that he reciprocated! Is the story true?
“Democrat” and “integrity” two words in diametrical opposition.
“Having proven her loyalties, it looks like Ms. Brazile’s on track for a job in the new administration.”
On one condition: Clinton wins.
Well, HRC is clearly corrupt, but “the most corrupt politician of our time” depends on what your time frame is. In my life, that includes LBJ and Nixon, who were far more corrupt, and Ronald Reagan who, while he may not have been personally as corrupt, presided over the most corrupt administration in history, using raw number of top officials jailed as the yardstick. This race may well be the awfulest ever, but let’s not forget history, folks.…
I am a lifelong (75) Christian Constitutional Republican. I do belong to the Rep. Party but only to assure myself of a candidate scrutiny opportunity. The response of Donna Bazile had become her normal answer while in the Dem. Party and to her it must be truth to deceive. I would give her a break long enough to allow her to disappear into obscurity in her own embarrassment.
