DNC software breach gave Sanders campaign confidential Clinton Data

While the facts still come out, let us marvel at the statement Clinton just released about this.



The perfect statement is such a chaotic situation. 

Talk is cheap. Judge instead by what is actually happening: at a critical point in the race, a company founded by a former Clinton staffer and currently run by a different former Clinton staffer has suspended Sander's campaign's access to vital date, in response to a member of Sander's staff publicly pointing out that due to said company's own internal security "failures" Clinton's campaign had full access to the Sander's campaign's data.

If Clinton was truly neutral and objective in this, NGP VAN should be freezing everything while the two campaigns and the DNC swiftly are on an independent and fully transparent audit.

You aren't in the party. And despite your ridiculous assertions, Clinton has ridiculously high favorability ratings among Democrats. There is no evidence that she will have any trouble getting their votes.

I'm not a registered Democrat, though politically lean left and regularly vote Dem when I'm not voting Green. As an IT professional, this is the kind of corrupt shenanigans that makes me think Clinton would be no better than Trump or any of the Republican clowns and makes it easier to just say " F*** it" when it comes to the top of the ticket.

And how many left-leaning I's need to give Clinton the middle finger next November before she loses CO?

Welp, this is an overall depressing development. Going forward, the main goal of the Clinton campaign for the rest of the primary season should be to win over as many Sanders supporters as possible, and not to turn off too many of them. She doesn't need to attack; the nomination is hers and Sanders attacks will only serve to turn away would-be general election voters. For Sanders, his goal should be to run a clean issue based campaign for the next few months (until around March/April or so), and then fully and wholeheartedly endorse Clinton for President against Republican nominee Trump/Cruz/Rubio/Other.

There is no way I see Clinton winning the presidency. She is already a disliked candidate stuff like this just makes look really bad. This will be blamed on Hillary. I already see people saying they will just vote 3rd party.

It's strange how Hillary is even getting any blame for this, is it not? She's in no way involved. In fact, it was her own data that was stolen! There's some serious Clinton Derangement Syndrome and group think going on.

Well, the NGP VAN is run by one ex-Clinton staffer, and was founded by a different ex-Clinton staffer. Add to that, that the Sanders campaign had apparently been complaining about the lack of security on their own data for months and were getting ignored and it's not hard to see where the anti-Clinton sentiment comes from, correctly or not.
