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.

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.
