I think she did win the Primaries fair and square.
Look, did the DNC push for Hillary, sure... No argument there. Was there a desire to have her be the nominee? Absolutely, but votes counted and in the end, she had more votes. It was close, yes, but I don't believe anyone just cheated to give her the nomination.
Certainly I think the DNC wanted Hillary and did everything they could to get her the nomination within reason.
I don't know. This doesn't look like fair and square to me:
DNC Chair Candidate Tom Perez Admits Democratic Primaries Were RiggedPerez stated, “We heard loudly and clearly yesterday from Bernie supporters that
the process was rigged, and it was. And you’ve got to be honest about it. That’s why we need a chair who is transparent.”
The comment was quickly retracted by Perez on Twitter after Clinton partisans and the Democratic establishment likely reprimanded him for the admission.Perez tweeted, “I have been asked by friends about a quote and want to be clear about what I said and that
I misspoke.”
When Sen. Bernie Sanders emerged as a viable challenger to Clinton in late 2015, former DNC chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz rescinded a ban on donations from lobbyists and PACs.
This rule change paved the way for the establishment of the Hillary Victory Fund, which Politico uncovered was laundering money to the Clinton campaign under the false pretenses of fundraising for state Democratic Parties.
Without this rule change, the Clinton campaign would have been outpaced by the Sanders campaign in fundraising.
Sanders’ supporters also criticized the Democratic primary debate schedule for benefitting Clinton. An email leaked from Clinton campaign chair John Podesta confirmed their suspicions that
the debates were scheduled to favor Hillary Clinton.
Additionally, the system of super delegates was established to provide the illusion that the Democratic establishment held more power within the Democratic primaries than it actually did.
The mainstream media inflated Clinton’s lead using super delegates, whose endorsements for Clinton were treated as a way for the Democratic Party to tell its supporters who to vote for. The small number of super delegates supporting Bernie Sanders portrayed the image that Sanders’ didn’t have a chance at winning the nomination, despite the results from voters suggesting otherwise.
Currently serving as DNC interim chair, former DNC vice chair, Donna Brazile was fired from CNN after leaked emails confirmed
Brazile helped the Clinton campaign cheat before debates. Nevertheless, the Democratic establishment provided Brazile with impunity—as they tend to do with all instances of corruption that benefit the status quo.
