candidates from suddenly declaring themselves to be a Democrat in order to try and win the Democratic nomination.
Bernies problem is though that for decades he decided not to officially join the Democratic party and so now hes suffering from that decision because hes having a rough time getting the super delegates to support him which is to bad really because I think he would make a fairly decent President but then so would Hillary imo.
