(19,926 posts)And I wouldn't go bragging about getting more money. I don't know what the final totals are but there were months where Bernie outraised her WITHOUT TAKING BIG MONEY. So she did NOT do better than Bernie with money. Of course you have to care about who a a candidate will be beholden to to worry about that.
She had the establishment behind her, that's the real reason she's ahead. There was a black out on Bernie from the beginning when she had the name recognition going in. If people had known about him earlier on he would have been winning earlier. As it is, now that the media HAD to cover him after his doing so well the people who get to know about him flock to him and as a result he is winning more than her. If we started over he would easily win the primary.
They also keep tallying the SDs when they are not supposed to.
The DNC also has been manipulating things in Hillary's favor, even going so far as to corrupt the democratic process as seen in Nevada and Iowa. And then there's the magical voter registration screw ups that seem to happen to mostly Bernie supporters, I mean really, 120,000 voters from Brooklyn having their registration changed? Something is rotten in Denmark. I'm convinced that this entire election was rigged for Hillary. The visible enthusiasm for Bernie not translating into him winning just doesn't make sense. And the exit polls show that to be true. So much so that word is that the networks aren't planning on doing exit polls in CA. If that's true it's very telling. DWS flat out LIED so many times, but when she LIED about the Nevada situation it was lower than low. And these people want Hillary to win the general after acting like complete assholes. Why would Bernie supporters join them now?
The closing of the polling places... the media bias against Bernie... the smear campaign from Hillary... it all adds up to corruption and dirty politics. Nothing to be proud of and nothing that is going to help a win in November should Hillary be the nominee.
Oh, and why were there no heavy hitters running against Hillary this time. Why is that? Clearly the Dem Party establishment had this all planned and Bernie threw a wrench in the works and they have gone all out to stop him. It's really disgusting. Especially since Bernie is the ONLY candidate running who really wants to fix this country and make it work for the working people rather than the corporations.
