These idiots still don’t understand that Bernie’s mission was simply to make it appear as if Hillary had to “win” her nomination. Bernie was always careful to avoid actual discussion of things that would hurt her (email scandal, Benghazi, Bill’s women, etc.). He dutifully played along and walked that fine line to make it look like she was battling him, when in reality they were/are working toward the same goal... her coronation.

Sanders supporters hoped to secure the lion’s share of the remaining 12 delegates. Instead, the delegate allocation rules were abruptly changed and Clinton was awarded 7 of the 12 delegates.

LOL - Salon and SEAN ILLING are 'catching on'? What a hoot. Democrats stripped 'the people' of power years ago when they came up with the idea of super-delegates. In essence they destroyed the power of the vote... democrat primaries are for 'show' purposes only.

The democrap primary process was/is a complete sham. Hellary was the anointed one from day one despite her mafia like criminal empire. Wake up bernieites- Bernie was/is a token alternative candidate that never had a snowball’s chance of being the nominee no matter how many votes he received.

It is always fun to watch the surprised look on Democrats faces when the DNC pulls this crap on them.

This is SOP. It is usually directed at the Republicans. When the DNC turns on its party base, they are always shocked.

There is nothing democratic about the Democrat Party.

Superdelegates are a noxious device to begin with, but they’re part of the process and, however objectionable Sanders supporters find them, no rules have been broken on that front. In New York, however, where the process wasn’t so much rigged as designed to make it uncommonly difficult for non-incumbents or Democratic challengers to compete are problematic at best, particularly in this climate.

Not much different from the Republican version:

What we are seeing is that both parties have spent years setting up the primary rules to prevent a populist, non establishment candidate from getting the nomination. We are just now realizing it because this is the first year they’ve have to use those rules. It’s all fixed.

Got a photo of this taken by a friend (high school -- many, many years ago) who is a Bernie supporter:

Bernie people are actually blaming the police for
disrupting their convention and not letting them "vote".
Democrats have lost touch with reality ( it they were ever touch at all).

The MSM seems to be suppressing the facts about this incident and how “disruptive” it was.

Good. The more aggrieved the Sanders people feel when Hillary becomes their nominee, the fewer will vote for her, and some might even switch to Trump.

Here’s a great idea! Trump as President and Bernie as VP. Pidgeon hole the VP and don’t let him get loose!

Hey, Bernie -— Hillary! winning 6 coin tosses in a row, in Iowa, was your first clue as to how the Clintons operate.

Actually, the funny thing about this is that Hillary actually won the most votes, but Bernie supporters packed the delegate nominating process and got more delegates. Sound familiar?

The chair intervened to ensure that the person who got the most votes got the most delegates.

So was that right, or wrong?

Skip to comments.Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders Revealing Our Elections are Rigged: “The Illusions of Choice”
The Conservative Treehouse ^ | 4-17-2016 | sundance

Posted on 04/17/2016 3:05:41 PM PDT by smoothsailing

2016 elections(Nick Bernabe via ANTIMEDIA) Denver, CO — The 2016 election has been a wild ride, with two insurgent grassroots campaigns literally giving the political establishment a run for its money. But as the events of this presidential primary season play out, it’s becoming clear the U.S. election — and even more so, the presidential race — is a big scam being perpetrated on the American people.

Events from the last week have exposed the system as an illusion of choice and a farce. They have reinforced at least one study showing the U.S. is an oligarchy rather than a democratic republic.

The Wyoming democratic caucus took place on Saturday, purportedly to allow voters to have their voices heard in the race between Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton. Sanders lost the Wyoming caucus by winning it with a 12 percent margin.

Wait, what?

How does one lose by winning 56 percent of the votes? This happens when the political process is, according to the New York Post, “rigged” by superdelegates. The Post summed up this “strange” phenomenon:

“[U]nder the Democratic Party’s oddball delegate system, Sanders’ winning streak — he has won seven out of the past eight contests — counts for little.

“In fact, despite his win, he splits Wyoming’s 14 pledged delegates 7 to 7 under the caucus calculus.

“Clinton, meanwhile, also gets the state’s four superdelegates — who had already pledged their allegiance to her in January. So despite ‘losing,’ she triumphs 11-7 in the delegate tally”. (link)

Even media pundits on MSNBC openly called the process rigged:...
