U.S. Presidential debate

[kandrathe]

There is cuddling, and then outright intercourse. The latter smacks of crossing the line of journalistic integrity into outright pandering for Clinton.

Okay, but unless you're indicting "the man" generally, the press and the DNC aren't the same entity. Hillary is popular in Washington. She has spent what is now a long career cultivating these relationships with the press, consolidating her fundraising base, building support with groups in the Democratic party. She has been thought to be the front-runner for the next presidency more or less since Obama was elected.

Politics is not a pretty game. Clinton is not a natural talent at it, but she has done a LOT of groundwork. That's not rigging the system. That's just succeeding at politics.

When the DNC and Clintons are complicit in pay for play access, it's more than politics. It smacks of corruption.
