A document to the DNC dated May 26, 2015 — a month after Sanders kicked off his presidential bid — declared that “our goals & strategy” are to “provide a contrast between the GOP field and HRC.” HRC stands for Hillary Rodham Clinton. The document, posted online by the hacker “Guccifer 2.0,” outlines ways to hit back at the GOP presidential field, such as “use specific hits to muddy the waters around ethics, transparency and campaign finance attacks on HRC.”
some Sanders backers say the document shows what they’ve felt all along: The system was rigged in favor of Clinton. “With proof that #Bernie never even had a chance, I shall double down and vote #BernieOrBust in Nov. @TheDemocrats,” tweeted a Sanders supporter from Chicago. Sanders has declined to drop out of the Democratic primary race. Among his demands to Clinton and the Democratic National Committee: Oust DNC leader Debbie Wasserman Schultz and get rid of superdelegates.
