We want to talk about the democratic divide in the 60s or today? is it exactly the same? this whole donna brazile thing, there was an adeny did you mean to this fundraising campaign. what she was referring to that she seemed to say did put the thumb on the scale, there was a point in that it said this in 2015. with respect to the hiring of a dnc communications director, the dnc says no later than september 11, 2015, it will higher one of two candidates previously identified as acceptable to hfa,...
