Jun 2016

“What has upset me, and what I think is – I wouldn’t use the word rigged, because we knew what the words were – but what is really dumb is that you have closed primaries, like in New York state, where three million people who are Democrats or Republicans could not participate, where you have situation where over 400 superdelegates came on board Clinton’s campaign before anybody else was in the race, eight months before the first vote was cast.

“That’s not rigged. I think it’s just a dumb process which has certainly disadvantaged our campaign.”

He's talking about closed primaries.
