Don't like President Trump? Blame the DNC!

Not to rail too much about the political morass we find ourselves in at this moment in American history, no matter how you feel about President Trump his election was due in great part to the actions of the Democratic National Committee.  It was, after all, the DNC that conspired to push Hillary Clinton to the top of the primary heap, even over that dottering old socialist from Vermont.
Yes, the DNC robbed Bernie Sanders from what likely would have been a landslide victory, both of the popular vote and of the Electoral College.  If not for themselves, the blue team would certainly have won the day and we would be looking at a completely different set of political players than now adorns the White House.
It wasn’t Comey, or Putin, or Obama who upset the applecart and opened the door to the likes of Donald Trump.  It was none other than the Democratic Party itself, that so wanted another Clinton in office that they conspired against Bernie and handed Hillary Clinton so many of the “loose” super delegate votes that overcoming her was nigh on to impossible.
And yet, when they completed their nefarious dealings, they felt that they were on their way to glory.  They somehow forgot to take into consideration that the only candidate the country hated worse than Donald Trump was Hillary Clinton.
How else to explain the surprising turn of events?
It’s not hard to harken back to those polls, those dastardly polls, which showed Hillary barely beating Trump and losing to all other republican primary candidates.  Who, I ask you, repeatedly showed up mopping the White House foyer of any candidate sporting red and serving as chief mahout to the Republican emblem? None other than the esteemed septuagenarian Bernie Sanders.  Him of the new $600,000 water front home.
Really now.  While the Wikileaks email deluge was pouring throughout the campaign, why didn’t anyone take an opportunity to read what they contained?  Why else did Debbie Wasserman Schultz get canned on the night before the Democratic Convention?
And, while we are on the subject of those email, it seems to me that the biggest argument expressed about them was that they were stolen.  Not one word about them being forged, or lies, or untruths.  They were, in fact, the quintessence of non-alternate facts.
Only the doltish Donna Brazille claimed that the Russians somehow took the time to re-write her email billet-dou.  You know, the ones where she was quoted saying, “Sometimes I get questions in advance,” and “I'll send a few more.”
And so, it seems to me that this is sort of instant karma.  The DNC, so convinced that this was Hillary’s time, ignored the truth that was in their face and rejected Bernie.  Bernie, who almost certainly would have won the entire country.
The millennials loved him.  Free College, who wouldn’t love that.  Even some of us older-ennials would love to dump the Student Loans we have picked up to help our children who labor under the weight of thousands of dollars in payments for a college degree that doesn’t seem to mean as much today.

Yes, Bernie had an appeal that crossed the aisles, as the politicos are wont to say.  All along the DNC cried Hillary, when deep down inside they should have felt and heeded the Bern!
