> You kind of seem to not understand the subject of this thread. Yes, the OP mentioned “rigged election”, but of course this happened during the primaries. And it doesn’t amount to “rigging” as the word is usually used. No ballot boxes were stuffed here. But it once again highlights the lack of neutralty by DNC officials. So people (not accusing the OP of this) pushing this story are hoping to alienate Sanders supporters from Hillary.

And if Clinton got advance notice it almost assuredly helped her more than one whit. I wouldn’t be surprised if they group tested a few responses and then had time to practice the best answer.

You can’t simply wave your hand and change the subject of the thread. It most definitely is about the appearance of rigging if one candidate is shown some preference over another. And you give too much credit if you think most Trump supporters can parse the difference between that and actual voter fraud. Their own candidate doesn’t recognize the difference. The leaked question was actually about the Flint water supply which, regardless of her answer, was forgotten by every voter outside of Flint before she finished answering it. Again, if that’s how Donna Brazile chose to unduly influence the campaign, she’s awfully shitty at it. Is what she did shady and unethical? Yep. How much did it help Hillary? Zippo.

This “Flint” thingy. Is that the place where black folks got poisoned, or where they got shot?
