The donor thing shouldn't surprise anyone. That is standard Capitol Hill politics. I can no more tar the DNC for that one when I've never commented on it for all of the previous years at any level of government.
Hell, I read about it when I was reading Theodore Roosevelt's biography and I didn't bat an eyelash then.
If every element of traditional political sausage making is going to get a thread then people are going to be surprised at just how things do/don't get done. I do think the Sanders thing was a problem since they potentially scuttled a viable candidate for cronyism. But this?
I think this post explains just how sad are political system is right now. We read about corruption and no longer even care because it's just par for the course now. It's normal to us for politicians to lie, steal, give favors.
