DNC: We rigged primaries. So what?

'We could have gone into back rooms like they used to and smoke cigars and pick the candidate'

WASHINGTON –
The Democratic National Committee is currently defending the tactics it used last year to rig the presidential primary against Sen. Bernie Sanders in a class-action lawsuit, brazenly telling voters in a court of law that the party is not obligated to run a fair and impartial primary election.

Outraged by how the DNC unfairly boosted former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's candidacy and cleared the way for her primary victory, supporters of Sanders and Democratic donors sued the DNC in June 2016 alleging it defrauded its constituents.

During the primaries, the DNC blatantly tilted its primary system in favor of Clinton. Then-DNC chair Debbie Wasserman-Schultz was repeatedly criticized for trying to make the Democratic Party presidential debates as few and low-key as possible, to Clinton's advantage.

Regardless of Sanders' victories during the primaries and caucuses, superdelegates immediately lined up behind Hillary, guaranteeing Sanders' defeat.

You mean they don't have a backroom with cigar elites deciding who's turn it is to be President. Obama - a first Black President. What now - America needs a woman preferably black. When did America pick a President due to skin color.
