The chair of the Democratic National Committee, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, has had her thumb on the scale for Hillary Clinton, like the rest of the party establishment. When Hillary thought she was a shoe-in, they limited the number of debates and scheduled them in time slots where no one was watching. Now that Sanders is giving her a hard run, miraculously, new debates have been scheduled for prime time.
Then, there is the Democratic Party's use of superdelegates, party office holders and insiders, designed specifically to keep top-down control of the nomination process, so that even a 22 point landslide in New Hampshire for Sanders yielded the same number of delegates as Hillary got.
Prior to the Democratic presidential debate in Milwaukee last night, CNN's Jake Tapper had the audacity to ask the DNC chair about this. The expression on Debbie Wasserman Schultz's face is priceless when CNN's Jake Tapper asks her to explain to "voters new to the process" who might feel "this is all rigged" because of the superdelegates.
Tre Goins-Phillips of the Blaze summarizes the evasive, yet unintentionally revealing answer:
The DNC chairwoman explained to Tapper that the unpledged delegates, or the superdelegates, are a completely separate category from the pledged delegates, which Clinton and Sanders were competing for in the Granite State.

If I were a young Democrat voter supporting Bernie Sanders in New Hampshire and found out about this “super delegates” scam, I would vote Republican just for pure SPITE!!!
Who would spend more Hillary or Bernie? They are both on a spending spree, because everyone has earned the right to get something for free. Everyone wants free college and free health care, without earning a cent to pay for it.
This is simple...The Bern had more support than Hillary, by Bernie’s redistribution logic he has to give her what he has earned. Is he unwilling to do that?
Sanders is not going to get traction unless he goes after her like I am sure Trump WILL.
It's going to be Clinton versus Trump, and he will bury her.
In my opinion, no other GOP candidate is going to do that, and unless Trump gets the GOP nomination, I am fearful Clinton will handily beat Cruz, Rubio, Bush or any of the other candidates.
All except Trump are lightweights on AMNESTY compared to Trump, and all will be lightweights in the same manner against Hillary.
Hope you are right!
Democrat elites rigged the vote years ago.... they do NOT trust their voters.
If Bernie gets too many votes they’ll throw him enough delegates to make it look like it was possible. It’s the same way they do voter fraud... hold back the ballot boxes until they know how many votes to add so it ‘looks close’..(but they win)
Someone post that photo of Stalin saying it is who counts the votes that matters.
Her response is an instant classic.
