DonDiego respectfully suggests there is insufficient evidence to reach the two possible conclusions which forkushV offers. [On the Democrat side of things the Wikileaks operatives have provided sufficient data to demonstrate the Democratic National Committee was unfair to Senator Sanders. There is no similar quantity/quality of data revealing like RNC behaviors.]
Would the hierarchy within the RNC have preferred that a "more established Republican politician" be the Party Presidential Candidate? DonDiego suspects so.
Was Mr. Trump "hysterical"? DonDiego doubts it. But he opined, correctly, that the hierarchy of the RNC would prefer someone other than himself be the Party Presidential Candidate. So he objected to what he perceived as an unfair process.
It would seem whatever disgraceful activities may have been going on and whatever scams may have been in progress, they were insufficient to prevent Mr. Trump from securing the nomination. All's well that ends well.
In general poor old DonDiego offers the same defense of the RNC that he offered of the DNC earlier this week. The Republican Party and the Democrat Party are voluntary organizations. No one is required to join either one. The DNC and RNC represent the upper hierarchy of the respective party leaderships.
With respect to The Law, the DNC and the RNC may behave pretty much as they please regarding Party Matters. They needn't be fair, they needn't be honest; they needn't be forthright. They are entitled to free speech, and what they say need not be accurate or true, if that does not suit the objective of the hierarchy. If lying serves the Party hierarchy, they can and do lie. And they are unlikely to be held accountable except in the arena of public opinion. And even there, many [most?] party members are likely only to object to the crooked activities of a Party other than their own.
[[]n.b. The DNC and RNC do need to show some care so as not to demonstrate intent to violate a Law through such deceptions, or, in fact, violate a Law; i.e. to commit fraud or theft or murder or things-like-that-there.]
If one is a member of the Party and one doesn't like what the Party is doing, DonDiego encourages one to work to stop it. If one is not a member of the Party and one does not like it one may work to stop it. DonDiego would prefer a better world where people are honest in their dealing, but with respect to the issue of USA National Political Party Committees, DonDiego opines he can do little and is unlikely to get himself worked up over it.
Having stated the above, poor old DonDiego is thrilled to see Wikileaks unearth the scandals associated with "Crooked Hillary and the DNC". It is DonDiego's opinion that President Clinton and The Hillary are contemptible, deceptive, mendacious, nefarious, and greedy. He would prefer someone other than The Hillary be elected.
It would seem organizations such as Wikileaks have assumed the function that used to be the province of a free press. The United States press is seldom non-partisan in the political realm. One never knows if what they print is the real honest-to-goodness truth.
The unorthodox methods of organizations like Wikileaks are necessary to disentangle the truth from the propaganda. DonDiego commends them.
Nothing within this post should be construed as an endorsement of any candidate for any public office by DonDiego; nonetheless, the reader is free to conclude that DonDiego does object to The Hillary occupying any position of influence over the affairs of The United States of America.
