2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: On Huerta [View all]joshcryer
(62,276 posts)70. The reaction over this follows the SAME PATTERN.

This is just like Sanders' staff stealing Clinton's data. Somehow, it's turned around to her fault.

She has yet to retract her initial claim. An honorable person would've done that.
