The DNC is Corrupt (I know, breaking news)

After the 2012
election, President Barack Obama had left the party in significant debt. Even after
all of the hundreds of millions of dollars raised, the party had $24 million in
debt, $15 million in the bank and $8 million owed to its venders. The ‘Hillary
Victory Fund’, a joint fundraising vehicle created by Hillary and the DNC, had
paid off the substantial portion of the debt. The remaining debts were financed
with loans from the Clinton campaign which, as describe by Brazile, put the
party under full control of Hillary Clinton’s campaign long before she had won
the nomination.
As per a written joint fund raising agreement between
Hillary and the DNC, the agreement specified that in exchange for paying off
the DNC’s debts, the Hillary campaign would control the party’s finances,
strategy and all of the money raised. Hillary would also have the right to
refuse who would be the party’s communication director and had the final
decision on all other staffing, budget, data and mailings. They controlled it
all, in secrecy.
In order to pay the DNC debts, the Clinton campaign was snatching
money from the state parties. The Hillary campaign had launched a fundraising campaign
focused on down ballot races vowing to rebuild “the party from the ground up ….
When our state parties are strong, we win.” The campaign raised over $80
million from these fund-raisers. Guess how much they left to the state parties
she vowed to build. Less than half of one percent. It should be of no surprise
to anyone how democrats have lost 2/3rds of the state houses, governorships, the
senate and the house.
I don't believe that the actions of the Hillary Campaign and the DNC had any effect on the outcome of the primary. Hillary was going to win the primary with or without the DNC stacking the deck in her favor. However, these latest revelations on the inner workings of the DNC have made one thing abundantly clear. The DNC is run by a small group of corrupt self-interested
individuals. They have raised hundreds of millions of dollars and shuffled that
money around to consultants and strategists while systematically losing
elections all over the country. A party that takes 99.5% of money raised by
state party fundraisers has no interest in a large sustainable movement for change.
The DNC is a corrupt institution and needs to be purged and re-built from scratch.
