Okay yeah you're right that Sanders people are mostly unrealistic and naive, but the DNC is an out-of-touch brand of career politicians desperately scrambling to ride their gravy train, and their entire strategy is based on converting naive young people into fuel for their paychecks

the DNC really needs a good gut punch or two but unfortunately for Sanders this really isn't the election to do it in, given that all the republican candidates are complete lunatics

This is exactly the election to do it in. The Democrats could probably run Donald Duck and win against the Republican clown car, this is the perfect opportunity to run the leftest candidate around.

Not to mention, pretty much every reasonable-ish Republican I know is disgusted by their likely candidates, and the common refrain about Sanders seems to be "well, he's a socialist, but at least he's loving honest about it and means well".

It's possible but I wouldn't call it plausible, especially since it is against the hypothesis of "one of Sanders's staffers decided to do something unethical to gain ground which the campaign badly needs."

The idea that Sanders is SO GOOD and SO PURE that not even any of his campaign workers could do something unethical without it being infiltration and betrayal is pure insanity. To these people, Sanders has to be the unstained hero, only defeated by treachery.

This wouldn't surprise me either. Anyone who cares enough about politics to work on a campaign is already slimy.

If you pull it off, you can write your own job description in 2020.

E: Oh no I'm not saying Hillary did it at all, she is way too smart to know specifics about this, and she's not unlike any other politician in that fact.

E2 \/ Do you really think this isn't possible or even probable? Don't get me wrong, it certainly could have been an over-eager Sandernista, but it also could have been an over eager DNC staffer who remembers 1996.

If I'm reading this correctly, a Sanders campaign staffer breached Clinton's campaign data and the Sanders campaign is claiming that it was all a false flag by the DNC?

That's a Ross Perot level of conspiracy theorizing right there.

Hillary's just that evil and Sanders is just that good. She'd do anything to wreak her vengeance on anyone who dares to challenge her coronation and Sanders is the only honest man in Washington so he can only be defeated by betrayal.

Saudi Arabia said it intercepted a Scud ballistic missile fired from Yemen on Saturday, according to a statement on the Saudi state news agency SPA, an attack which threatens a fragile ceasefire ahead of renewed U.N.-backed peace talks next month.

"Saudi Air Defense Forces intercepted at about 11 P.M. (2000 GMT) yesterday a Scud missile launched from Sanaa, in Yemeni territory, toward the city of Najran ... the air force immediately destroyed the rocket launch platform," the Saudi statement said.

Yemen's state news agency said the target was a Saudi national guard base.

The attack is the latest of several ballistic missile strikes by Yemeni forces on its northern neighbor, none of which have caused any reported casualties.

Russian air forces have not hit civilian targets since they started a bombing campaign in Syria nearly three months ago, a senior Russian officer said in an interview with Rossiya 24 television.

London-based rights group Amnesty International said this week that Russia's bombing of Syria had killed many civilians and could amount to a war crime. Russia's Defense Ministry strongly rejected the allegations.

"The Military Space Forces have never hit civilian targets in Syria," said Viktor Bondarev, Colonel General and commander-in-chief of Russia's Aerospace Forces. Pilots are well-trained and "have never missed their targets, have never hit ... so-called sensitive places: schools, hospitals, mosques," he said.

It's loving Russia man, come on. Out in the real world they're absolutely hitting civilian targets the only question is whether they intended to hit them and don't give a gently caress or whoever was entering the coordinates took a little bit too much alcohol out of the air frames and drunk dialed a missile.
