        “There’s no right to not have your candidate disadvantaged or have another candidate advantaged. There’s no contractual obligation here…it’s not a situation where a promise has been made that is an enforceable promise.”

        They argued this in court. If they ran a fair election, they could have just provided the evidence. Instead they told the court that they don’t have to run fair elections. Why would they say that, if they ran a fair election?

            “We don’t have to play fair. We can cheat if we want.”

            “It didn’t say they cheated.”

                  Cheating is when you don’t play by the rules not when you disagree with what the rules should be.

                  That’s why the DNC won this case.

                    You can keep dancing around the fact that they cheated all you want. I find it very telling that you can’t even keep your original argument straight.
