Bernie Sanders is on a roll. He's won the last two Democratic primaries and stands a good chance Tuesday of adding Oregon and perhaps Kentucky to his pile of victories.
Yet Hillary Clinton is likely to continue her seemingly unstoppable march to the party's presidential nomination.
How can that be?
It's not a conspiracy, as some angry Sanders backers suggest, a result of dark magic or a wrinkle in the time-space continuum. Rather, it's the rules that Democrats play by -- rules that now work to Clinton's advantage, even as they thwarted her candidacy eight years ago, when she lost a nominating fight to then-Sen. Barack Obama.

In other words the game is rigged and it does not matter what Sanders wins. In Washington state Sanders won 73% to Hillary's 27% but Hillary gets half the delegates.
The democrats are so miscalculating this on an epic scale disenfranchising at least half the democrat voters. The establishment democrat message to the voters is that they are fools and do not matter at all. If they do not do what they are told, they will be whipped into line. Great message. This is backfiring on a biblical scale!
At some point the DNC will force Hillary to offer Sanders the VP Slot...
He will take it after Hillary promises him wide ranging powers to go after Wall Street..
Trump is telling the truth, it’s rigged. Super delegates, they are called.
Two old white people. That is the model of diversity.
I think the problem is that the DNC does not want Sanders to be president. If Hillary chooses him as the VP and then if she *cough* *cough* has to leave the race ... then her VP choice pretty much has to be the follow-on nominee. The DNC does not want that.
Hillary will hold off on any VP talk until she has no choice. In the meantime, if something — you know — forced her out the race, Joe Biden would be chosen as the replacement.

Libtards only care about diversity when they can accuse conservatives of not practicing it...

That’s plausable, the Bernouts can easy vote for Biden...
Heads I win...Tails you lose! You give a 500 point delegate count to the nominee of your choice, then you split the delegate count 50/50 in every state. There is no way path to victory for the Burn Baby!
Because Satan helps his own...
Same reason why Bill Clinton can take 26 plane rides with a pedophile and NO ONE in the media says a peep about it..because they are the Clintons, they have gotten away with EVERYTHING, including murder, so why should this make any difference
If Bernie Sanders wanted to get votes from the super delegates, he should have gotten government files on them in the nineties.
It’s his own lazy fault.
“Two old white people. That is the model of diversity.”
They already put their articulate negro in. Twice. First negro President prize.
They can do no wrong as they put their woman in. Probably twice. First woman President prize.
Losers vote for these prizes.
The 2016 election process to date has removed any doubt that both the DNC and RNC have little interest in what the voters want.
No big deal...plenty of precedent....just look at the old USSR elections....give the voters a choice? What?! You crazy?!
In the meantime, if something — you know — forced her out the race, Joe Biden would be chosen as the replacement.
You are, of course, referring to Obama's Plan B(iden).
He knew Stalin better than many.
It sounds like Hillary needs to offer the VP to Cruz since they both use the same playbook to gather delegates
Don’t Bernie supporters understand that they’re only three-fifths of a person?
