Joe Trippi: Everybody can point to something that went wrong and theyre right

[frazzled]

1. The myths roll on

No, Joe, this is not true:

At the Democratic National Committee — an organization already tainted by leaked emails suggesting its staff helped Clinton over Sanders during the primary —

As we all know, no emails showed that the DNC staff helped Clinton over Sanders. The emails that were leaked were all from May--AFTER the point at which Sanders, by then trailing by large numbers in both the popular vote and delegates, had no path whatsoever to secure the nomination (short of flipping all the super delegates to his side, an impossible and patently undemocratic strategy). It was at that point that a few staffers exchanged emails about ideas to get him to move on, though nothing came of them. They were just musings among individuals. And they were understandable: there should have been real worries about how Sanders' quixotic, scorched-earth campaign continuation was beginning to harm Democratic efforts across the board. Which they did in the end--promulgating harmful untruths and exaggerations, and ultimately depressing Democratic votes even as Donald Trump was able to quote Bernie Sanders by name in attacks on "crooked Hillary.&quot . That's one of the things that went wrong with this election, and it is just as correct (if not more so) as any other factor, as Trippi states.

But no, Joe, the myth of the DNC "rigging" the primaries was patently false and proven so.
