HOUND is one of the the most absurd things I've heard during this campaign, and there have been many absurdities. As a PA resident, I'm embaressed for our politicians to be stooping to this level. When has a presidential candidate ever needed such help and assistance in order to be supported by his own party? In my 36 years of voting, I can't recall any other time. It is the DNC's own fault that there is a rift in the party. The DNC pushed upon us, an unqualified, inexperienced, radical candidate with controversial associations in every area of his past. The DNC, namely Donna Brazile, said there was new Democratic party now, and "base, stay home." The DNC treated Michigan and Florida like spoiled children, instead of American citizens with the right to cast their votes and have them counted fairly. The RBC meeting was a farce, except for Harold Ickes and a few others who stood for what is right. The Democratic party has made many critical mistakes during this primary election. Now PA Democratic leaders want to smooth things over by calling Hillary's supporters back into the flock. Well, forget it. The DNC needs to learn some hard lessons, and learn them fast, because they have lost supporters, voters, and contributions. The only way to learn those lessons is to face their mistakes and suffer the consequences, not by asking Hillary supporters to come to the rescue. If they had conducted the primaries properly and fairly, and if they had refrained from pushing the most unelectable candidate, they wouldn't be in this predicament. As for me, I have now changed my PA Democrat voter registration to No Affiliation.
