In reply to the discussion: Sanders: DNC Trying to 'PROTECT' Hillary Clinton From Her Primary Rivals [View all]Thinkingabout
(30,058 posts)52. Remember this, there are more people and many of them are not members
Of DU nor other social media who likes and respects Secretary Clinton, realize she is very qualified to be president. Even if DWS disliked Hillary and liked Sanders, DWS would not be able to flip a switch and give the nomination to Sanders.
Somewhere the reality of Hillary polling higher and DWS does not control this nor does she control the number of supporters Sanders has. The DNC has accepted Sanders running in the DNC primary, I dont think the DNC wants to hurt Sanders. Conspiracy theories works for some people, not for others.

Come on Sanders, ... no one is trying to hold down viewership... that's bunk. I remember in 2008...

I was speaking of SC and the southern states, I don't see any ground game from Sanders there

Bernie didn't apologize for the DNC's punitive actions against him, nor the vendor's negligence

Uh-huh. "From engaged people on the Internet" does not mean "from the general public at large."
