2016 Postmortem

(57,936 posts)38. As I understand it, the Hillary crowd changed the rules on a voice vote before Bernie's
delegates were even in the room. And as I heard it the voice vote was not a majority.
If Hillary really expects Bernie supporters to vote for her, she is going to have to control her representatives, delegates and machines at the state level.
I like the fact that Bernie has no machine. Sooner or later the Clinton machine will expose itself for what it is. I would like to think that the Democratic Party can survive that exposure.
