Looks like Bernie got a lesson on delegate re-distribution..

he gets 15

I have a strong feeling that the concept of "super delegates" was not
news to Bernie or any other professional politician. Not everyone
lives
in the bubble of ignorance.

he gets 15 and she gets 17 and she didn't have to work for it. lol



D'uh. Read up on "super delegates" and report back when you break out of
the bubble. Here's a hint: "super delegates" are not chosen on the basis
of popularity with the voters.


That's the point Harry. Bernie clobbered Hillary in NH's primary
setting a record for what, coming in 22 points ahead? Yet, Hillary
walks away with the majority of the NH delegates in her nomination
quest. Talk about the "establishment".




That's the whole point. Super Delegates were established to promote the
establishment candidate in order to prevent an outlier from getting the
nomination and losing the general. The majority of those running the
Democratic Party still believe Hillary is the best bet for winning the
election. Winning in 2016 is everything. I;d love to see Donald insult
Hillary face to face on the debate stage and watch her walk over and
slap his face...hard. Or kick him in the nuts...even better.


What you just posted is really the "whole point". "The majority of
those *running* the Democratic Party still believe Hillary is the best
bet for winning the election." So, screw what the Democratic *voters*
think or want, eh?

I think there's a genuine movement going on to terminate business as
usual in our political process and our elected officials. I think the
feeling is shared by both Democrats, Independents and Republicans, ergo
the popularity of Bernie and Trump. Hillary represents the old
political establishment as does Jeb and a few other Republicans. They
can't generate much interest in their candidacy either.

The people should decide, not a bunch of insiders led by Debby Wasserman
Schultz.
