This boarrd hurts Hillary and therfore hurts the democratoc party! Bernie campaign is using this board to PUMP TRUMP. Think. I mean, Bernie will debate Trump even though he will NOT be the dem nominee?!! Trump wins we lose.

...and nominating a candidate with what have come to be revealed as crippling negatives is probably a ticket to Trumpsville.

How can he get a pass for that and Clinton doesn't?

I find it sad that people are so willing to dismiss election results because they don't like them. Mighty undemocratic of you all.

though he did flip-flop on it sooner, so there's that.

And as Skinner points out, Bernie has voter support; Kerry didn't even run.

The national primary process is supported by ALL AMERICAN TAX PAYERS... including the "Independents", who, for the most part, left either party, due to their disgust with the control over the primary process...

If you let every tax payer vote in a system they funded anyway, it's evident that the majority supports Sanders. This is why it's rigged.

The People ARE with Bernie Sanders... The People lost to the rigged system.

PERIOD.
