Apparently she was unaware that Nevada knows a thing or two about rigging games of chance and instead used decks of cards.
The article is obviously biased. Its title implies that this was directed by the national campaign without evidence, and the first line asserts that the Democratic Primary wasn't rigged (maybe not overall, at least in the sense of the results being fraudulent, but you can sure as hell point to a lot of sleazy shit in individual races and heavy establishment favouritism toward Clinton from the start), and then accuse the Sanders campaign of trying to rig it, and specifically accuse multiple staffers of being involved despite the article offering no evidence of that either and admitting they don't know weather any other staffers did this. While I have read all of the links, the only evidence quoted in the article itself is an "anecdote" from anonymous sources. Its hard for me to take their charges seriously when the article is an obvious Clintonite hit piece, designed to drag Sanders' name through the mud even though the campaign is effectively over.
And seriously, what is the point of this shit? You won. Why keep attacking the losing side with weak and disingenuous arguments? It only comes across as petty and spiteful and fuels internal divisions going into the general election. Winners who kick their opponent when he's down should not be looked on kindly.
It only makes sense as spite, wanting to punish Sanders for daring to challenge Clinton the way he did, or as fear, that what he represents will not end with his campaign.
As to the Nevada director- if it can be proved that she did this, then she's a sleazy piece of shit. This should not be held against Sanders' campaign as a whole unless this was condoned or ordered at high levels- and I see no evidence of that.
Or would you like me to lay every nasty thing a Clinton supporter ever did at Hillary's feet?
Yes, please
