I'm pretty sure a Bernie Sanders supporter would say this goes way beyond that. Leaking plans from one candidate to another is beyond best for the party.

IDK, as a bernie voter in the primary, I don't see this as surprising or problematic, at least not if I'm reading these correctly.
Ok, nothing will shock you then. If you don't believe the head of the party giving insider information from people who were supposed to be working for Sen. Sanders campaign feeding his opponent doesn't cause you fits, then all is fair game.

anyway search #PodestaEmails14 on twitter for the rest

That's a fair assessment, my current thought is that it was a crappy thing to do but is essentially what the party infrastructure is supposed to do (I supported Sanders by the way). What it really drives home to me is that I wish that there was a setup that allowed more than 2 parties so if they started supporting candidates I didn't like I could just switch to a party that isn't just the exact opposite of the one I am already in. It seems to me that the winner take all nature of the current system necessitates consolidation of parties.
