1. What is the big deal anyway? The party should let all democratic candidates have access to all potential voter information. More open information will only serve the party to get the best candidate. Is it so bad that Berne and Hilary send an emails to each's others lists and supporters. i don't get it.

2. If this is a problem, why is the DNC even putting candidates at risk for headlines like this?

3. Bernie's campaign is pushing back aggressively. This makes me think there is more to the story. If this turns out to be some internal feud where the establishment folks are trying to make Bernie look bad, then I think this will backfire for the establishment folks and HRC.

4. The main argument I keep hearing against Bernie is that he can't win. That is not all that convincing to me. I even see polls where he would beat every Republican candidate. Many of us support Bernie/Warren types over Wall St candidates because we want change. Change is not going to come by just supporting the status quo. Someone has to take a risk. The world gets warmer, Wall St. get's richer, terrorists get bolder and the current policies keep on chugging...

This is my reaction too.

Will Sanders win - no he will not. But it will for sure sabotage Hillary's chances of winning the presidency.

DWS, is so totally biased in favor of Hillary and wants to do everything she can to safeguard her candidacy. It is just pathetic and I would support Sanders all the way if he decided that enough is enough and unless there is some semblance of fairness he is ready to just run as an independent.

Well, he just sued the DNC, so you might get your wish. A lawsuit is a pretty massive escalation.

Have you ever worked on a presidential campaign?

Nope.

The DNC won't allow Bernie to access the data again until they explain why they accessed another campaign's confidential data and who was involved. They also have to demonstrate that they didn't download and keep any data. The campaign fired their digital director but four accounts were used to access the Clinton data.

I thought that's what it was about too, but honestly it feels like a ploy to discredit Sanders because he scares them.

It's all a conspiracy. When Bernie says he won't run negative ads but then runs negative ads, it's a conspiracy. When Bernie says he won't accept super pac support but does accept super pac support, it's a conspiracy. When Bernie's campaign violates voters' privacy by accessing confidential data with four different user accounts, it's a conspiracy.

Straight out of Hillary's playbook, if so.
