I miss FH already

Who will make me waffles now?

He's more rational than hillary!

he's more Hillary than rational

Hang on, you think the GOP could do nothing about Trump because of voter support, but think that Bernie lost for "other reasons"?

Exactly. Bernie enjoyed a very strong level of support. Almost as strong has Trump had. But he Democratic leadership decided to stand their ground. Gotta be a reason for that.

I'm not jinxing it. Hillary has a lead but it's still close. What i'm saying is, it would never have been a contest if he knew when to shut up.

The problem is his ego. I don't think that will let him shut up when he should. Ugh!!!!!

I feel sorry for America if he's the best you have for President if he wins.

Yes, he did not get the votes required to win.
Is this difficult?

I'm beginning to think it actually is that difficult for them.

A good night's sleep brought me back. Waffles all around!

Then why the need for "superdelegates", pledged to vote for whomever the the DNC tells them to vote for? If the DNC wasn't in the tank for Clinton, why use them at all?

Trump may talk about the the general election being rigged, but I rather suspect the Democratic primaries were what was rigged.

Except it's the exact opposite. Superdelegates are free to chose whoever they want.

Furthermore they are only 15% so you can't force an entirely different candidate.

[Annoyed]

And since the DNC can withdraw their superdelegate status if they step out of line....

1: learn why super delegates exist.
2: they did not use the super delegates, nor have they ever determined the primaries since their creation.

Trump may talk about the the general election being rigged, but I rather suspect the Democratic primaries were what was rigged.

I rather suspect you don't know what you are talking about, nor will you ever, simply because you do not want to.

[thekillman]

Even so it doesn't matter.

Clinton won 2842 versus 1865. If you do the math, you'd realize that difference is 977 delegates, which is more than the 714 superdelegates that exist. It doesn't matter if the superdelegates all voted clinton because they were forced to.

It still would not have mattered

and so i return, once more, to what i've been saying this whole time:

you remember Sanders to be more popular than he really was.

[Gatefan1976]

A -socialist- being robbed, who would have thought the day that Republicans would defend a socialist.

Oh, that's right, they are not.

[thekillman]

A -socialist-

And that is exactly why Sanders wasn't elected. I've seen americans describe socialism as "literally the most evil thing in the world" and literally was used in a literal way, not in a figurative literal (get it?). Because you can't discuss socialism without people meaning communism.

And yet somehow people thought he'd be elected.

I know what you mean

He -should- have been elected, but as you say people are too indoctrinated to see what is in their faces.
