Former Vice President Joe Biden defended the nearly 800 unelected superdelegates that will vote in extra rounds of voting that could be triggered if no Democratic presidential candidate wins a majority of delegates, arguing in favor of a brokered convention.
The Democratic National Convention in July could feature a contested convention, which features additional rounds of voting past the state primaries and caucuses. The extra voting should take place if no candidate wins a majority of delegates, Biden argued during a CNN town hall on Thursday night.
“Say you got to get over 1,900 delegates, that’s the deal,” Biden said, referring to the number a candidate can reach to get the party’s nomination without resorting to a brokered convention.
“So let’s say someone comes with the most delegates and it gets split up and they got a thousand delegates and the rest are split. Does that mean you should go ahead and change the rules? I don’t think so. I guess I’m a Catholic school kid. You play by the rules,” he said.

No doubt...he’s gonna try to buy the election...
He realizes that is the ONLY way he can win the nomination.
The Bernie Bots will go berserk and burn the place down.................
Then after that they will stay home on Election Day and kill the down ballot...
All these Democrats screaming for a popular vote POTUS, do not want the rule applied to their own primary process.
First it was Bloomie wondering about a brokered convention. Now Biden is wondering the same thing.
Idiots.
Clinton has already done bought the DNC Convention. Don’t they know this?

Her plan is in motion. Divide and conquer the losers vying for supremacy in the primaries. Then Her Thighness selects herself at the Convention.
See Tagline.

With what? Sea shells or Monopoly money?
Wow! They’re coming apart at the seams, and it ain’t even Super Tuesday yet.
Current conditions necessary are that no single candidate gets 50% + 1 on the first ballot. If the DNC decides to change the rules, the super-delegates will vote on the first ballot as they used to. That’s a 15% swing. If the thing looks close for Bernie on the first ballot, watch for a rule change (and a rather spectacular riot afterward).
bend over bernie
In all matters, the Democrat Party elite rules with an iron fist.
Joe needs to be careful what he wishes for—this may be the year the Democratic Party implodes...
2020—the year the mask comes off
Bernie has already shown that he is good with that as long as he gets a house.
That’s why we should exclusively refer to them as the Democrat Party.
Because there is absolutely nothing democratic about them.
Bern, Baby, Bern! Do it joe, you criminal nitwit. It would be interesting to see the reaction of the Bernie-bots as they realize the convention results are fixed yet again. Bernie won’t be too upset because he’ll probably be given yet another dacha.
I'm leaving in what, six hours, and if you don't fire him, you won't get the Billion.
Well, son of a bitch, they fired him.
Catholic school kid???
I am a Catholic school kid, and the Nuns would have beat my ass for that.
And then both of my parents would have repeated that same treatment.
Biddn has what, a total of 6 delegates? Moron...
The DNC will assure that the remaining candidates will all stay in the race in order to block anyone (Bernie) from gaining the required 50 percent plus 1. With so many candidates no one will be able to reach the mountain top. Thank goodness (says the DNC). The DNC needs as many remaining candidates as possible to make this happen, even if it takes “mysterious” funding to keep some of the candidates afloat to the convention. Brilliant. This way the DNC is assured that it is not the peoples choice, but the bosses choice, as to who the nominee will be.
