This is great! It will give ol’ B.S.’s communist supporters an accurate vision of what an “election” looks like under communism.

I saw a story which indicated that about 15% of Democrat delegates are super delegates.

So, if Hillary has the support of the vast majority of this 15% bloc, that means Bernie would need over 60% of the remaining delegates elected in primaries and caucuses, to win this nomination.

So, suppose Bernie catches fire in other states as time goes on, and gets 55% of the vote. It still wouldn’t be enough to overcome Hillary’s firewall of super delegates at the convention.

It’s funny how the Democrats bitched about 2000, and how the Electoral Vote resulted in Bush being elected, though Al Gore won the popular vote.

We could see a similar situation here, in which Bernie wins the most primary votes for Democrats, yet Hillary gets the nomination due to having these super delegates in her back pantsuit pocket.
