I'm looking at it this way: If we somehow see a brokered convention, there will be a debate on the floor as delegates decide how they are going to vote.
Part of that debate will include Hillary's polling numbers against Trump vs. Bernie's and their projected chances, in November, considering all the foreseeable variables that will sway voters.
This leak will surely influence the debate on the floor, IF there is a second vote amongst released delegates. I think it would greatly benefit Bernie in that debate.
Do I really think that's likely to happen? No, I think the chances are very, very slim.

You have to wonder if all of these allegations get to Hillary at some point, and she backs herself out of the race? I have been thinking about that a lot today. It wouldn't shock me.

In general, as to the OP, I am as noted not surprised, but I am incensed that this is what we have in American politics.
The frontrunners are the two most disliked candidates in modern history.
Yes, Trump had more votes than any other Republican candidate, but he also holds the record for most votes AGAINST him.
Clinton, frankly, is no better. Widely disliked. Has done NOTHING to counter the BS about the emails, her server, etc.
And now she picks Mr. Milquetoast as her running-mate ... a straight, white, male that brings NOTHING to the ticket except the support of the Wall Street Banks.
Ah well, I ramble. No excuse for collusion on the part of the DNC. Surely this actually does merit investigation by the FEC.

Okay. I get it. The DNC screwed Sanders. It's rigged, etc. And this thread is composed largely of people complaining about it. But I have a serious question, one for which I do not have the answer:
WHAT are Bernie supporters going to do? I realize this depends on what Bernie does, but he appears to have caved, so that would preclude an independent run, therefore I'm taking that out of the choices below.
1. Will they vote for Trump? (After all, Trump agrees with them on trade stuff)
2. Will they stay home and NOT vote?
3. Will they vote for Clinton?
Folks, what are they going to do?
Twitter accused of suppressing DNC Wikileaks story
Twitter lit up Friday night with allegations that it tried to suppress news that secret-leaking website Wikileaks exposed thousands of emails obtained from the servers of the Democratic National Committee.
Friday afternoon, users noted, "#DNCLeaks" was trending, with more than 250,000 tweets about it on the platform. By
Friday evening, it vanished completely from the site's "trending" bar for at least 20 minutes.
It returned as "#DNCLeak" after users erupted, though it was too late to quell their rage.

HAPPENING NOW: Bernie Sanders supporters, including delegates, are locked out of the DNC rules committee AND have been kicked out of the building.
Follow Seb.Intension @InXsion
DNC Rules Committee has voted DOWN on any amendment to the superdelegate system. No compromise no unity.
