Hillary Clinton is talking again. It’s hard for Clinton to speak frankly without encountering a charge of “sour grapes” — after all, Clinton was beaten by Donald Trump in one of the biggest upsets in American political history. She has mentioned the inevitable former FBI Director James Comey’s role in her defeat as well as fake news and other factors. But talking at a ReCode conference Clinton cast herself as a candidate essentially unassisted by the Democratic National Committee — saying the Democratic Party was bankrupt and ill-equipped for modern politics, plagued by bogus data. (Is this the same Democratic Party Barack Obama won twice with?)
Telling her story, Clinton says “I’m the now the nominee of the Democratic Party. I inherit nothing from the Democratic Party. I mean, it was bankrupt, it was on the verge of insolvency, its data was mediocre to poor, nonexistent, wrong. I had to inject money into it.”
