Saying the 2016 primaries were rigged for Hillary. I always ask them how in detail did the DNC rig the primaries? They hardly ever give an answer or come back with some kind of conspiracy theory. For the DNC to have helped Hillary get votes they would've had to run ad's for her. The problem is the DNC was broke and had no money or influence.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
