#Bernie Says Democratic Primary ‘Not Rigged, We Knew What the Rules Were’

Wait, What? #Bernie Says Democratic Primary ‘Not Rigged, We Knew What the Rules Were’

SNIP
Suggesting the system is “rigged” in Hillary’s favor is a disgraceful tactic designed to steal a ground-breaking achievement from her and her supporters. It’s something Donald Trump has been doing. Regrettably, he’s not alone. The Sanders campaign has worked methodically to convince Bernie’s supporters that Hillary is stealing the nomination.
Now, after weeks of moaning and groaning that the system is rigged against Bernie, we get this confession from him:

“I wouldn’t use the word ‘rigged’ because we knew what the rules were.”

Ok, then."

What's his legacy after this revelation.
What else has he "stretched in his favor"?

He is now discredited & his once great legacy is left with a big fat ?

Hillary knocks one more off their arrogant pedestal by simply letting the rope out little at a time.

I hear Malloy has now offered to debate Sanders.
I hope he accepts.

Yes, it is rigged against him, don't blame the DNC for his unrealistic agenda. Don't blame the DNC for is lack of a foreign policy. Don't blame the DNC for his poor performance in the NYDN interview. Don't blame the DNC for his inability to explain how the failing banks could be broken up by Dodd Frank. This is on Sanders.

ago--18 responses and none from the Bernie fans. Nothing but silence from them at this point. I do think Bernie must have sent them into a mind-whirl..

Not even a chirp.

Headspinning reveal there, bernie.

How bout coming clean on a few other election winning slogans.
How about Wall St & How about hanging the IRAQ War around the necks of those who own that horrific disaster. GW Bush & Dick Cheney.

Time for Sanders to exit the Party he loves to hate.
Just Go Away
