We should open an investigation… It is not like the president is doing anything wrong. We should open up an investigation into Romney / Ryan. How did they get nominated? We need to know!
Get over it Ted! Bernie was not, and never had been a Democrat. He did not do the groundwork necessary to get the super delegates, therefore he lost.And yes, I voted for him.
The DNC fought for Hillary because they believed that Bernie would lose to a Republican candidate. Which he probably would have, but since the Republicans nominated a person who has no loyalty to the Republican party, or anything other than himself, Bernie could have beaten him. The Democrats misunderstood the attitude of the voters. They were so fed up with a system that has been doing less for the middle class and more for the rich every year for the last fifty years, and they were ready to vote for anyone who wasn’t part of the system. It’s kind of like divorcing the husband that has turned out to be worthless and boring and marrying your boyfriend who turns out to be someone who beats you on a regular basis.
Gather your own data and make your own decision. Bernie could have beat Trumpee, we could have a real country now instead of a disaster if Bernie had not been cheated by the dems.
Just think, if only more on the left had wanted Sanders, we could have had ALL of our post offices renamed by now. The nerve of those Democrats voting for the most qualified candidate!
Sanders did far, far better in the primaries than anyone, including Sanders, ever expected. But, Clinton beat Sanders by a wider margin than Obama beat Clinton in 2008. Sanders simply had not established his reputation with Democratic voters, especially minority voters. Even if every state had allocated delegates through an open primary, Clinton would have won.
The DNC emails do not show any “rigging” of the system against Sanders. They show some people in the DNC were losing patience with a candidate who had already lost, who was undermining the credibility & viability of the inevitable nominee: Hillary Clinton. By June of 2016, it was perfectly clear that Sanders had zero chance.
With friends like Ted Rall, Democrats don’t need enemies.
It’s really crazy that the DNC didn’t want someone who’s spent his entire life talking about how awful the DNC is to get their nomination. Crazy, I tell ya.

The Democrats said, “It’s HER turn!”
And the Socialist Bernie did spurn.
At the end of the day
The Trump had his way,
So by her own arrogance was Berned!

Bernie was popular, Hillary and The Donald were not.

Response of Republicans if it had been the RNC’s emails that had been released: it must have been a Democrat spy. Kill ’im!
