Sanders suppresses votes, in Clinton strongholds in PR. Then he allows his people to diss DNC

and Clinton blaming them for polls closing, when he was the one responsible.

What kind of man does this?

He well knew his people were blaming DNC. He was aware of his action shutting down polls. He could state and explain the reasons why ahead of time. What? Was he hoping no one knew it was him that shut down polls, in Clinton's strongholds?

Right before Calif. A state he needs. He lied about the Pope asking for a meeting right before NY. Wasn't there another one right before another major vote, Super Tuesday.

This has become surreal.

Tues.

Hillary becomes the presumptive nominee. If she wins CA, all the better.

Weds.

Uncommitted and Sanders Supers start to rally behind Hillary. This continues for next couple of weeks.
Perhaps higher uncommitted Dems like Warren and others, start endorsing.

June 15th. President Obama, VP Biden, and every other Dem endorses.

Not in lilly white Iowa or Vermont.

In a majority PoC territory. Just a coincidence?

The chair of the Puerto Rico Democratic Party told people to vote for Hillary Clinton. Now PR Dem Party is smearing Bernie Sanders with the dubious story that the number of polling places was reduced because of Sanders.

Bernie Sanders’s campaign is accusing Puerto Rico’s Democratic Party officials of fraud in the territory’s presidential primary.

The campaign’s head of Hispanic voter efforts, Betsy Franceschini, told Caribbean Business in an interview that Sanders officials were initially denied access to prisons to help inmates vote.
“Our Bernie Sanders officials were never certified. We had 40 officials we submitted in time for the prisons. Not one of them was certified, while all of theirs [Hillary Clinton’s] went in. Attorney Manny Suárez had to go in order for us to be let in. This is a great fraud,” Franceschini said.

Even in his failures. But then, the candidate of integrity would suck it up, leave polls open, to not suppress votes.

and they were caught so they made a story up, it is a part of a pattern.

Election integrity you either care for it, like all the time, or you don't

Obviously you guys don'T, So when this shit is pulled in November as several of us expect it, we will care for the country, but not about you. But I expect you guys, if it succeeds, to scream, because only republcians do this we know this.

You know what the problem with this is? I crossed that point, No election in the US, unless there are extensive reforms to prevent this shit from happening, I don't care who does it, is legitimate any more. And I mean from dog catcher up ok,
