the race. You've got more than a little confirmation bias going on, and your last statement really does show just how blinded you are due to your simple hate.

All before the first primary has happened. When all you see is shit, and it's what you wish to see, everything shall seem shitty to you. I see that the framework is already being laid to whine and protest about how everyone is being so unfair to Bernie and that his 'win' has been stolen from him.

The two first all white states vote in the next weeks, and should he win them, it will be confirmation of what a great leader he is and how infallible, even when his he reverses his own statements and decisions that will not be "shit" in your eyes just daisies and unicorns, and evidence of his perfection.
