Debbie Wasserman Schultz And The DNC Favored Hillary Clinton Over Bernie Sanders. Where’s The Outrage?
By H.A. Goodman, HuffingtonPost

(Aug. 16, 2016 3:29 p.m.) — After the DNC WikiLeaks emails, The Nation’s Joshua Holland acknowledged the DNC “came to loathe Sanders’s campaign,” however “there’s no evidence that they rigged the primaries.” Nothing exemplifies the amnesia of Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s various claims of impartiality, or the relevance of such neutrality to the Democratic process, better than Holland’s sentiment.

The facts show that the Democratic Primary was rigged against Bernie Sanders from the start, despite numerous promises from the DNC to remain impartial.

(August 10, 2016 4:10 p.m.) — What is Bernie Sanders’ endorsement worth?

For Florida congressional candidate Tim Canova, the answer so far is more than half-a-million bucks.

Sanders’ campaign told the Miami Herald on Wednesday that it has helped raise more than $637,000 since May 22, when the Vermont senator and former Democratic presidential candidate began asking supporters to chip in for Canova.

OurRevolution – What is it and Where is it Going?

(August 3, 2016 20:00) — There has been a lot of talk out there as to where the frieght train of Bernie Sanders supporters will be applying their progressive energy to since Sanders now endorses Hillary Clinton.

One such place in cyberspace is OurRevolution.com.

Bernie Sanders talked about the direction he will go since endorsing Hillary Clinton in an interview last month with USA Today indicating that he plans “to launch educational and political organizations within the next few weeks to keep his progressive movement alive.”

USA Today reports:

The Sanders Institute will focus on elevating issues and ideas—through media and documentaries—that Sanders said the “corporate media” fails to focus on, including the disappearing middle class, “massive” income inequality, horrific levels of poverty and problems affecting seniors and children.

As OurRevolution.com takes hold, many facebook and twitter comments have expressed concerns about contributing money to the site because they feel funds may find their way into the DNC.

As evidence, concerned Bernie Sanders supporters point to the fact that the OurRevolution.com website contribution facilitator is the same used during Bernie Sanders’ campaign, ActBlue.com.

In any case, the site is very sparse and has limited links which include: 1) Contribute to the Revolution; and 2) a “Privacy Policy” page; and 3) a link which asks for the visitors’ email address and zip code so they can “Join the Fight.”

A quick look at the contributions page reveals the now famous average contribution amount button of $27.

In the “Contribution Rules” section of the contribution page, it indicates, “ActBlue Civics is a registered charitable organization formed to democratize social welfare giving.

Though the OurRevolution.com website does not explicitly indicate that any of its contributions will go to the DNC, given the recent state of affairs between the Sanders campaign and the DNC, in light of the email revelations released by WikiLeaks indicating the DNC engaged in a concerted effort to marginalize his campaign, it is not reasonable to expect any donations to OurRevolution will find its way back to the DNC.

None the less, the new “Sanders Institute” by way of OurRevolution.com is currently in development with many eyes watching what is does and where it goes to next.

Latest Wikileaks Dump Proves DNC Bias Against Bernie Sanders
By Reno Berkeley, Inquisitr

(July 22, 2016, 9:00 p.m.) — In June a hacker who goes by the name Guccifer 2.0 — a different hacker than the original Guccifer — released some emails alleging collusion between the DNC and mainstream media to suppress the Bernie Sanders campaign. In June, the Inquisitr reported that Julian Assange promised a forthcoming document dump while releasing a “torrent insurance” file.

On Friday, MotherBoard reported that the hacker confirmed responsibility for a 20,000-email Wikileaks dump of DNC files, many of which clearly illustrate how the DNC attempted to mute the Bernie Sanders campaign.

Will Bernie Sanders Speak At DNC Against Its Chair, Debbie Wasserman Schultz?
By , Maryam Louise, Inquisitr

(July 21, 2016) — With the Democratic National Convention only a few days away, Bernie Sanders supporters are excited to hear their favorite leader speak, but will his DNC speech focus on booting out the current Chair of the Democratic National Committee, Debbie Wasserman-Schultz?

This can be potentially disappointing news to those in the Democratic Party that want to #UniteBlue and have Bernie Sanders fans voting for Hillary Clinton, but the struggle against Debbie Wasserman-Schultz might define Bernie Sanders’ timeline during and after the DNC.

Tim Canova camp says new poll shows him ‘within striking distance’ of Debbie Wasserman Schultz
By Mitch Perry, Florida Politics

(July 31, 2016 12:55 p.m.) — Debbie Wasserman Schultz leads her Democratic challenger Tim Canova by eight percentage points in Florida’s 23rd Congressional District, 46 percent to 38 percent, according to a new poll released Sunday by the Canova campaign. What’s more, after the pollsters provided more information about Canova to likely voters, Wasserman Schultz’ lead was reduced to just three points, 43 percent to 40 percent.

The survey, conducted by the Los Angeles-based polling group of Fairbank, Maslin, Maullin, Metz & Associates (FM3), was in the field immediately after Wasserman Schultz stepped down as head of the Democratic National Committee last week.

Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the chairman of the Democratic National Committee. In three days since Sanders endorsed him, Canova’s phone has been ringing off the hook, he’s been all over the national news, and his campaign is suddenly grabbing the attention of national Democrats.
