Emails show the system is rigged

Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders don’t agree on much. But both argue our political system is rigged. That sentiment gained new momentum with the release of thousands of emails which suggest the Democratic National Committee favored Hillary Clinton during the primary election, despite the group’s pledge of neutrality. The leaked emails suggest party bosses were all in for Hillary from the start, despite Bernie Sanders’ groundswell of support. One email even suggests Democratic party bosses were even willing to focus on Sanders’ religion, arguing a Jewish candidate wouldn’t do well in the South. Another suggests they were considering accusing Sanders of being an Athiest. Bernie didn’t have a chance with party bosses working harder to ensure Hillary Clinton gets the nomination. DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz has pledged to step down amid the controversy. Not exactly the way the Democrats wanted to kick off their convention. So much for party unity. This is not the way our democracy is supposed to work. It is hard enough to get elected President without insiders rigging the system. Trump and Sanders may not agree on much, but they are both right on this one. Our political system is rigged.
