They're not cheating, they're just redistributing Bernie's delegates. You know, doing socialism.

[proxy_user]

The delegates selected in the primary are obligated to vote for their candidate on the first ballot. The superdelegates are not legally obligated to vote for anyone. They may have said they will vote for HRC, but they could easily change their mind if they wished to do so.

I thought it was the democrat party, not democratic.

The Democratic party knows their constituency well. They know they can openly run crooked elections and, while some folks may grumble, they will vote the right way in the general election. That is why it is called the plantation.

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

And you would be correct.

Party of Lenin.

Was just going to type that - thanks!

[Dilbert San Diego]

I get frustrated with factual errors. This delegate selection process has nothing to do with the electoral college. Does anybody fact check or have editors review things before they are published anymore???

I believe it was Joseph Stalin that said something like, “It is not who votes that count it is who counts the votes.” Looks like communism is going to bite the communists in the rear this time.

The convention will be fun

Bernie is not pining for a democracy, though I would like for him to lay out his vision of his desired structure of gov’t.

I will stay with our republic for of gov’t, assuming we stamp down the leftists.

[Baynative]

Bernie, Bernie - tell me that story, again, about how socialism makes everyone happy.

I thought it was the democrat party, not democratic.

Some years ago, because members of the Republican Party are called Republicans, Rush started calling it the Democrat Party because its members are called Democrats and not Democratics. It's basically sort of a jab at the Donkey Party members..... JTPTO.

The young Bernieist actually believe they have a chance, kiddies are so gullible.

Under Socialism more workers get to meet their maker = Happiness.

Bernie Sanders won 60% of the vote in New Hampshire Tuesday yet will collect fewer delegates in the electoral college than distant-second finisher Hillary Clinton.

Reading ignorant crap like this makes me conclude that we have become a country of idiots. Delegates to the Democrat Convention have nothing whatsoever to do with the electoral college. Are the editors of IBD really that clueless.
