If Hillary can’t beat Bernie, she will get her sizable rear end handed to her by Trump.

If Hillary can’t beat Bernie,

Hillary cannot lose. On the Dem side, there are more Super Delegates available to her than delegates that Bernie can win by votes.

The unique circumstances of this year's primary races on both sides have revealed what few people, even the most informed, have known -- just how badly the primary systems are rigged against non-establishment types.

People have faulted the voters -- wrongly! -- for not being informed about the rules. Why should they be? The rank-and-file voters are busy working, raising children, paying bills, doing their best to just get by; in short, making this country work. Who has time to research the intricacies of each states complicated (and as many now claim, corrupt) primary election rules?

Normally it does not matter. The rank-and-file fall in line with the party elites. This time is different. And we have learned a great deal about the "rules" in each state, and how they are ultimately designed to give the party elites control to override the popular will of the people.

On the Republican side, it is pretty bad. But the Dem side magnitudes worse -- more Super Delegates than delegates winnable by popular vote. That means a *total* lock by the party elites on who will be the nominee. If I were a Dem voter, I would soooooooooooo pissed!

I expect a lot of these rules will be changed now, once they've been revealed. And rightly so!
