The Sanders campaign floats a conspiracy theory.

"Sanders campaign hints ‘hacker’ who accessed Clinton data may have been a DNC plant."
“It’s not as if we conjured this guy Josh from thin air. This is an individual … who was recommended to us by the DNC and NGP VAN"....

I think that neither Bernie nor Hillary are really very computer-knowledgeable. The reality is that no one among the Dumbocrats seems to take computer privacy and computer security (two different things, though the one is impossible without the other!) very seriously.

Considering how far to the left Sanders is, it is part of the vast right wing conspiracy.

"Knowledgeable"? I realize that Hillary was trying to be funny when she retorted "What, like, with a cloth?" to the fellow who asked whether her server had been wiped. Still, there's hardly anything computer-related that she could reliably answer a question on. Sanders is likely, if anything, worse.

People! Computer security is one of your primary jobs. Step up to it, already.

I have provided IT support to both campaigns & "ideological" non-profits on both sides of the aisle. All of them were paranoid about infiltration. All of them. This shit just seems to be in the DC water, or sumthin'.

Wouldn't it be interesting for Bernie to echo Trump with the "Hillary lies, she lies all the time" accusation?
Not PC, I guess. Winning the nomination is not worth being Politically Incorrect.

As cubanbob has intimated, Sanders put to use a page from the playbook Hillary assembled years ago.

Sanders whole campaign is a conspiracy theory. He's a crazy old man.

Wasserman Schultz is a sleaze. I hope she gets caught!

He can't call them racists so he's left with that.

Interesting. My take on his popularity is his simplistic, almost child-like take on economic bifurcation. Even moreso due to his admiration for Northern European dem soc.economies without understanding what makes them tick to the degree they do.

Sanders is honest, I'll give him that. He reminds me of my sainted Grandfather from the Bronx, who raised 5 kids in the Depression - and never got over the trauma.

But, my lord, has Sanders been awake over the past 30 years? The demise of the Soviet Union, the rise of Silicon Valley?

Has Bernie been living in a cave?

The engine of prosperity and middle class stability and security is the Free Market system, Bernie - are you that obtuse to fail to recognize this?

But I do hope Bernie dings up Hillary.

considering that, when hillary randomly stops in to a diner to chat with the real people, it turns out that those 'just folks' were actually hand-picked dem party operatives, bernie's accusations don't seem at all far-fetched.

It almost has to be a conspiracy what with the immediate DNC over-reaction.

Sanders went to court and they reversed themselves. Or maybe they reversed themselves because of what discovery would bring out.

It seems like with these combinations, the Clintons sometimes not only don't have the end game worked out - they didn't really with the e-mails - they don't even have the middle game worked out.
