What we are seeing is that both parties have spent years setting up the primary rules to prevent a populist, non establishment candidate from getting the nomination. We are just now realizing it because this is the first year they’ve have to use those rules. It’s all fixed.

“Bernies mission was simply to make it appear as if Hillary had to win her nomination.”
Interesting theory.
People keep suggesting likewise of Trump.
I have to doubt it though, as support is vast and genuine, and both Trump & Sanders have an actual chance of winning. Why be a patsy when each could actually WIN the presidential election?

Got a photo of this taken by a friend (high school -- many, many years ago) who is a Bernie supporter:
Bernie people are actually blaming the police for
disrupting their convention and not letting them "vote".
Democrats have lost touch with reality ( it they were ever touch at all).

The MSM seems to be suppressing the facts about this incident and how “disruptive” it was.

Correction, should read:

I'm such a lousy typist!

Colorado for us, Nevada for them. Colorado threw gasoline on top of Trump's fire. It is too late for Sanders to win, but this will do nothing to help unify the democrats.

Interesting photo.
Very revealing of the RAT mindset.
They knew they were doing something wrong, so they pre-emptively pulled in some brown-shirt muscle.

Good. The more aggrieved the Sanders people feel when Hillary becomes their nominee, the fewer will vote for her, and some might even switch to Trump.

Here’s a great idea! Trump as President and Bernie as VP. Pidgeon hole the VP and don’t let him get loose!

The MSM seems to be suppressing the facts about this incident and how disruptive it was. There were several people taking phone videos right from the event, and they are posted all over the internet. MSM can't keep a lid on much anymore.

Hey, Bernie -— Hillary! winning 6 coin tosses in a row, in Iowa, was your first clue as to how the Clintons operate.

Actually, the funny thing about this is that Hillary actually won the most votes, but Bernie supporters packed the delegate nominating process and got more delegates. Sound familiar?
The chair intervened to ensure that the person who got the most votes got the most delegates.
So was that right, or wrong?
To: circlecity
Again, Hillary has actually won a clear majority of ballots cast in the Democrat primary -- 12.7M to $9.6M This isn't a Trump situation where he had a clear plurality in some states but ended up with fewer delegates. The candidate with the clear majority of the votes is going to win the nomination. Sure, the whole super delegate thing stinks to high heaven, but she's clobbering him among actual votes anyway. This is Bernie's hard left special snowflakes whining because they're finding out that their votes, no matter how enthusiastic they may be, still only count for
one vote. They
feel they should win, so they're outraged they're not going to. It's great!
The beauty of all this is that Hillary is being blasted by the special snowflake logic to which her campaign constantly panders. The left constantly talks about how people feel, and how that should be respected regardless of facts. Well, an outraged "revolt" by people whose candidate is getting clobbered in the vote totals is exactly what they deserve.

I heard that Sanders may go 3rd party...
Trump landslide coming.
