Now, caucuses are undemocratic...and that's just fine because it gave Sanders an opening.

Yeah, stupid voters. Who needs 'em?

I find it interesting that they talk about democracy and "let the people decide" all day long and then latch on to the least-democratic part of the process because it benefits Bernie. No hypocrisy there.

So now the Democratic Party is stuck with the guy for their candidate to congress.
When he is interviewed on tv he is shown drinking a beer, smoking and living in a 3rd rate motel. At least once the door to his room was open and he was watching an x-rated movie.

on the ballot and neither party did any ads. Voters apparently did no research.

It's pretty funny, in a twisted kind of way. Plus, it's the GOP. At least they actually *deserve* to end up with the screw-ups.

You probably saw it, but just in case:
