demandsing apologies. you look, though, as we get a deep dive into this, and you see that you had a democratic party that had everything go wrong at once. you had donna brazile says a president, an incumbent president, who raised more money than anybody else in american history, disengage from the process and he left the democratic part badly in debt. you have hillary clinton, a very ineffective presidential candidate whose team strangled the dnc and didn t let them do their job. they had control over everything the dnc was doing before she was even a candidate and then you have the chair woman of the dnc actively rigging the process. again, we ve always said, everything lined up. everything that had to happen for donald trump to win on that particular date happened and this is a part of the million dominos that had to fall
. whole cam back to morning joe. we continue our revelationings of the interim dnc chair donna brazile, campaign chair jeffrey weaver said quote the behavior the dnc behaved in, is egregious, undemocratic. can t be allowed again. they complained about it but didn t appreciate the full scope of it until they read what donna brazile had to say. meanwhile, president trump reacted, calming what was done quotes illegal and tweeting shortly before 9:30 last night, quote, donna brazile said they illegally stole the primary from bernie sanders, bought and paid for by crooked h. there is real collusion and dishonesty, a major violation of the campaign finance laws and money laundering. where is our justice department? in a local washington, d.c. radio interview, the president said his lack of power over
if you have an incumbent president, barack obama 2012 controls the dnc because he is the state of the heir of the party. in a situation like this the party is supposed to be neutral. when you have a winner, you have that winner take control of the dfc. traditionally, that is how it s supposed to work. we did not sister a winner yet. this circumstancealed by done that brazil dating back to a couple months after hillary clinton announced her entry into the race, in the fall of 2015 she effectively took over secretly financial control and other control of the dfc. we only started to prussia the surface here. there were allegations back at the time that if you looked at the way the dnc structured its debate schedule, how few of them there were, when they were scheduled, on weekends and so forth that debbie wasserman schultz was trying to protect hillary clinton from competition with bernie sanders. those allegations i reported on at the time were true. everyone understood who followed
post-dysfunctional massive organizations, the dnc at the time. it took the disinterest of the sitting president, a guy that raised more money than any person in american history to complete this interest by barack obama, according to done that brazil, leaving the dnc $25 million if debt and then you know the rigging by debbie wasserman schultz that everybody on the bernie side knew was going on at the time. how hard it must have been to get bernie sander s supporters excited about going out and supporting hillary clinton after that. well, you know, you saw the result. and you know, step back for a minute, donald trump a man who had no experience, who is manifestly unfit to be president of the united states, first defeated the republican establishment and then defeated the democratic establishment so it really says something about the state of our two major parties. these very resilient and adaptive organizations throughout the decades, they ve managed to sort of figure it
because unfortunately when you stay word democratic party, hillary clinton still comes to the forefront and that s going to go. . yeah, steve ratner, obviously, you supported hillary clinton. you supported hillary clinton in the past. you knew at the time that the campaign, obviously, had challenges and said so on tv and off tv. did you ever know it was the dysfunctional? well, i don t know the word dysfunctional would be the word. ied the not know certainly of the things donna brazile is alleging about how what was going on with the dnc. it was certainly clear that the hillary campaign was desire, wanted to win and they wanted to take control of the dnc as early as possible because, frankly, in a campaign the quality of the campaign officials is generally higher than the quality of the officials, no disrespect at the party themselves, getting ahold
