Hillary Clinton is disliked and distrusted by a large number of Americans and not just Republicans. One should never forget that it was strictly Democrats that threw Hillary “under the bus” in 2008 and nominated an all but unknown Senator from Illinois to run for president This occurred at a time when Hillary would almost certainly have won the general election hands down had she been nominated. It is apparent that Democrats know Hillary and who she really is far better than do Republicans.
 
In 2016 we again see Hillary pursuing her lust to occupy the White House. However, without the votes of the special Democrat “Super Delegates”, Hillary is nowhere close to the 2,384 delegate votes required to become the Party’s nominee. Adding the vote shortage issue to the increasing public coverage of Hillary’s numerous documented scandals, begs the question, “Are the Democratic power brokers rethinking their position or was Hillary ever in their plans in the first place?”
 
It is very important to understand exactly who the Democrat “Super Delegates” are and who they really answer to.
 
Throughout its existence, the Democrat Party has always been the Party of a small group of elites, (“Party Bosses”) whose approach to governing is for them to direct everything from the top down. Their claims to the contrary notwithstanding, the individuals who run the Democrat Party, basically consider the voter as something of a necessary evil to be manipulated and controlled as determined by those “Party Bosses”. These “Party Bosses” consist primarily of Democrat governors, senators, congressmen, mayors and other officials of counties and large cities and large donors. These “Party Bosses” play a major role in the selection process of the “Super Delegates” with many of them holding such position, themselves.
 
The “Super Delegate” system exists for one reason and that is to keep control of the candidate selection process in the hands of the Bosses should the voters not select the candidate of their choice. In order to accomplish this, the “Super Delegates” have the option of voting for any candidate, even on the first ballot, where Regular delegates are required by party rules to vote in accordance with their state’s primary election results...
 
For decades Hillary’s scandals have rarely received the attention by the MSM that was warranted given their serious nature. However, when last year she again began to seek the presidency, the attitude of the MSM appeared to change. The Benghazi fiasco and the attempted cover up, was almost immediately followed by “Servergate” and both resulted in actual coverage by the MSM. More recently, the collection by the Clintons of large speaking fees and even larger donations to their foundation has “suddenly” caught their attention as well. The MSM only rarely will speak or print a word without the approval of the Democrat Bosses so one might certainly wonder what may have changed...
 
If the Democrat Bosses are planning to dump Hillary for the second time, what is their plan? These are people for whom everything is politics and nothing gets in the way of their attempting to win at all costs. By forcing a brokered convention, the Bosses would put themselves in a position to select the candidate they see as a potential winner in November...
 
Who, then, might the Bosses have in mind as a candidate that might keep the Sanders’ followers from rioting and who would stand a strong chance of beating Donald Trump in November? Consider if you will, Caroline Kennedy...

Although they loudly proclaim otherwise, Democrats have never been the "party of the little guy".
 

The current attacks on Hillary Clinton over her secret email server do come as something of an interesting surprise. With all of the decades of scandals that have surrounded Hillary, yet been ignored by the media, one can only wonder; “What brought this on and why?” It becomes even more curious given the fact that the attacks are being carried out almost exclusively by her fellow Democrats and with the full cooperation of the Democrat-controlled media. What could be the reason that Hillary has received more negative coverage in the past week over her email server than she has over years of previous scandals, including Benghazi, where four brave Americans that might have been saved were brutally killed on her watch?...

It is a simple and well known fact that in 2008, it was entirely the efforts and actions of Democrats—not Republicans—that kept Mrs. Clinton out of the White House...

It helps to understand how things work in the Democrat Party as anyone old enough to remember Chicago’s mayor, Richard J. Dailey can attest.  Although they loudly proclaim otherwise, they have never been the “party of the little guy”. They are and always have been the party of the political “boss”. At all levels; city, county, state and national, the Democrat Party has always been run with tight control from “behind the scenes” by small groups of very powerful individuals or “bosses”. These “bosses” may be senators, congressmen, governors, state or local officials, mayors, party officials or the men that bring in the money but they all have one thing in common, and that is that they hold the power and they control the money. However, as much as all of the various Democrat Party “bosses” may crave power for themselves, they also all know that within the Party system, to acquire and retain that power, they must be willing to share it with the other “bosses” at all the various levels. Anyone who fails play by this rule in the Democrat Party find themselves “on the outside” in very short order.
 
During his first term as president, Bill gave Hillary the job of creating a plan for the governmental takeover of the nation’s healthcare system. Controlling healthcare had long been a goal of the Democrat Party and Hillary’s effort was considered to be a viable attempt at reaching that goal. However, Hillary chose to develop “her” plan on her own, and in secret with no input from the Party “bosses”. By taking this approach, Hillary showed the “bosses” that she did not need them and that she was not going to share power with them. That was her mistake...
