29. When Bernie and his campaign start
Tue May 17, 2016, 01:34 AM
May 2016

challenging caucuses as undemocratic, I might possibly believe that they mean what they say.

But the only caucuses they've challenged - and in some very nasty ways - are those they've lost, e.g., NV and IA. But especially NV.

It doesn't make sense for SDs to support the candidate who can't even win the majority of pledged delegates OR the popular vote at the primary stage. But Bernie-logic, like Bernie-math - is reality-challenged.
