Ya know, I'm guessing Sanders doesn't understand the rules of the convention.

[MohRokTah]

My bet is he thinks Super Delegates don't get to vote on the first ballot.

This would explain his trolling over requiring Hillary to win the majority of all delegates with just pledged delegates.

Could somebody explain the rules to him? Super Delegates do indeed get to vote on the first ballot which means Hillary will have clinched the nomination in about 27 hours and 21 minutes.

1. I'm pretty sure Obama took care of it

[NCTraveler]

2. He admittedly didn't know the rules of Iowa going in.

Weaver is good at two things. Giving bad advice and cashing checks.

[beachbumbob]

3. Google is hard for sanders and his staff...besides rules aren't for them

Don't need no stinking rules

[Sheepshank]

4. Bernie deliberately or accidentally misunderstands the political rules of Primary engagement?

Either way, it gives Weaver the opening to claim yet more shenanigans where none exists.

[Hortensis]

6. IMO deliberately in his case. He's setting the stage for

more manufactured outrage in case he needs it. And, of course, the always-hungry press to follow his lead and misrepresent the situation.

5. Rules, like math, were created by oligarchs. They don't apply to BS.

[Triana]

7. I think he understands very well...

Even if Clinton’s Already Won, A Vote for Sanders Can Help Defeat Trump

. . .

Big wins by Sanders in the June 7 contests – in Montana, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Dakota, South Dakota and the big enchilada in California – will give him the maximum momentum (and number of delegates) to go into the Democratic Convention with the ability to shape the party rules to make the nominating system more democratic – and write a party platform that can help Hillary to defeat Trump in November.

While some warn that a platform written by Sanders delegates would be too radical, the country is in a radical mood. And the ideas Bernie has built his campaign around are hugely popular with the kind of voters Democrats (and Clinton) need to attract in the general election – young people, union members and working-class voters, African Americans, Latinos, and women. Poll after poll (and election after election) throughout the primary season have demonstrated huge support for the issues Sanders has been talking about: reversing economic inequality, big investments in infrastructure and green jobs, the need for a new trade policy, Medicare for all, an end to mass incarceration, and his promise to break up the big banks, for example. These are the messages Democrats and Clinton will need to win the support of Sanders supporters – and the millions of independent and working class voters – they need in order to prevail in November.

Don't get your panties in a bunch just because we're not all kissing Hillary's ring. Have a clue. They're on sale at Hillary's Wal-Mart today 3/dollar.

8. The 2016 rules have yet to be voted on

he is the only one following any rules

[WhiteTara]

9. I thought he was going to tie up the convention

so that no votes could take place...something about the rules committee

[Scuba]

10. He clearly understands the rule about delegates - pledged and not - being able to change ...

... their votes.

Should Hillary be indicted, or suffer another blow to her already-suffering reputation, she could lose on the first ballot.

Wishful thinking? Perhaps, but stranger things have happened, and Hillary's past conduct leaves her vulnerable.
