BERNIE SANDERS, HILLARY AND THE DNC

The Democratic National Committee has suspended the Sanders Campaign from using their database for the foreseeable future. The DNC claims that the Sanders campaign accessed information from Hillary's campaign.

The interesting point is that the Sanders campaign informed the DNC weeks ago that there were problems with the database. Did anyone question that the Clinton campaign may have also accessed Sanders campaign information from the database?

The company that runs the database, NGP VAN, runs this database for all democratic candidates, unions, activists, and most all progressive organizations. The Sanders campaign has paid around $450,000 for use of the database. Has anyone asked what the Clinton campaign has paid for this? The Sanders campaign has sued to regain access to the information they paid for and also access to all the information that they have added to the files. NGP VAN says that it repaired the firewalls within hours of being notified. With only weeks to the beginning of primary season, every day of lost access is a huge handicap to the Sanders campaign.

On Thursday the Sanders Campaign received the endorsement of two very important groups, Democracy for Action, a large progressive group, and the 700,000 member Communication Workers Union. Some say this is what brought about the suspension. The Sanders campaign has accused the DNC of being in the bag for Hillary Clinton. This is undeniably true. The Democratic Establishment would not want Sanders to be their nominee, much like the RNC does not want an outsider as their nominee. Its all about the power and money! The political establishment on both sides will do all that they can do to deny the will of the people. They have become dishonest referees and it will damage their base in the future.

This has given the Sanders campaign, if they have learned anything from Donald Trump, just what they needed, if they are smart enough and adept enough, they can pin this right onto Hillary Clinton. We will now see if the Sanders campaign is a real campaign that wants to win, or just a sparring partner to make Hillary look good. Tonight is their debate, we will see if Sanders can step up to do what it takes to win.

Bernie Sanders is way to the left for most people, but is a likeable and honest candidate. He has brought much to the debate in this election cycle and deserves fair treatment.
