    I'm not excusing Brazile's behavior in the slightest, she's a fucking disgrace for behaving so stupidly. But let's not pretend like that question was some non-standard question that Hillary wasn't already heavily prepping for.

    The left will never catch up to the right, the left still uses a 1960's format of meaningless chants and protests marches with signs. The right uses memes and the internet to get its message out there.

    There is a big problem with even that. What was asked during the primaries debate that was surprise? What was that hidden jab or question, that Hillary would otherwise be unprepared for? Primaries were nothing, but generic soft balls. The whole concept is flawed in it self. Why would you tell Hillary a question she would otherwise not be prepared for, instead of not asking it? Why the show and dance, instead of simply doing nothing.

    She said "from time to time she gets questions in advance" that doesn't indicate 1 leak, that indicates pipe burst.

    Donna brazile is as dirty as they come, embrace her progressives, we will see where that leads you.

    You have got to be kidding me, the left is so funny now.

    In answer to what was the question?, Hillary was given the debate questions in advance of the debate. If you don't have a problem with that I don't know what to say. Its so horrible what donna braziles record shows, wasn't she arrested for some stuff in the 80's?. Donna brazile is scum.

    Alternatively, my interpretation is fine and people finding all sorts of conspiracy in the emails are simply not as smart as they think they are, or not as good at reading as they think they are.

    I'll never forget how well the email saga started, with one of the first 'smoking guns' being an email that 'showed' Hillary calling Arabs a derogatory name. It was great, because the emailgaters were literally too stupid to realize that Hillary didn't actually write it. So, yeah. That's the caliber of people who think the emails were meaningful.

    And? It was a Democratic primary. Party primaries are generally more concerned with the opinions of their members.

    No the left isn't savvy enough to make memes that matter. They are still doing it with signs and obstructing peoples rights to move freely because of their protests. No one likes leftists anymore, they have become terrorists.

    They block freeways, they block ambulances, they block roads. Who in the fuck likes that shit?

    Sounds like the Hillary campaign was "doing business" with the New York Times and had control over the stories that were run about her. If this was "just describing mundane standard shit that journalists have always been doing" I have to wonder if the Trump campaign was ever contacted in the same manner about the dozens of stories the New York Times ran about him?

    What's the context in which these emails were sent? What did the finished product look like? Were there any falsehoods in what was eventually produced? Is there any evidence this doesn't happen with other candidates?

    Mark Leibovich, a writer for the New York Times, was discussing an article he was going to run about Hillary Clinton with Jennifer Palmieri, Hillary Clinton's communications director.

    It followed Jennifer Palmieri requests. While the "her" that Jennifer needed to talk to before she replied back to Mark wasn't named, its not outlandish to imagine that the "her" was Hillary.

    Not the point of contention. Mass media colluding with a presidential candidate during an election is the definition of propaganda. The New York Times promotes themselves as an unbiased group of journalists. If they were called the "New York Cheerleaders for Democrats" and were unabashed about their leanings then no this wouldn't be a problem.

    Is there any evidence that God doesn't exist? Asking proof of a negative isn't a reasonable expectation. Moreover, its pretty clear that Trump wasn't contacted, unless you are going to argue that he wanted the New York Times to cover him in the way that they did.
