Dec 2016

The DNC supported the long time Democrat. I voted for Sanders in the primary (but was fine with either one viewing each as equally flawed and equally talented).

To assume the DNC would not support the Democrat in the primary is naïve at best. The leaked emails contained no smoking gun

Had sanders won the primary he would have been fully supported by the DNC in the general ... Sanders is sophisticated enough to understand the positives and drawbacks of not "joining" a specific political party . I will guarantee that nothing in the emails came as a surprise to him.

the emails fueled the fantasies of uninformed and low information voters. They tarnished the party and Clinton merely by their existence.
